RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the content of proteins,amino acids and inorganic elements of Holotrichia diomphalia in different growing areas as the references for quality evaluation and reasonable application of them. METHODS: The contents of proteins were determined using semi-micro Kjeldahl method. The contents of seventeen amino acids and inorganic elements were determined with amino acid analyzer and atomic absorption spectrometer and elemental analyzer, respectively. RESULTS: The contents of protein were 33.4%-44.4%, and that in Jiangxi were the highest in five different areas. There were seventeen kinds of amino acids in Holotrichia diomphalia. Among them, seven amino acids were essential to human life. The content of glutamic acid was the highest in seventeen amino acids. In inorganic elements, the content of Mg, Ca was higher in macroelements and Fe, Zn was higher in microelements. CONCLUSION: There are many kinds of necessary amino acids and inorganic elements for man kind in Holotrichia diomphalia. The contents of proteins, amino acids and inorganic elements have some difference in Holotrichia diomphalia of different growing areas.

The experimental results have shown that all six kinds of glue have a common protein zone, but only the pipefish glue has a band on the negative electrode side. They are all rich in amino acids. Oxhide glue has the highest content of amino acids, total Ajiao has the highest content of essential amino acids, but Ajiao and pipefish glues do not have cystine. Pharmacological study has shown that deerhorn glue, turtle shell glue and oxhide glue can enrich blood; the number of white blood cells can be elevated by tortoise plastron glue and pipefish glue; deerhorn glue possesses an anti-fatigue effect; deerhorn glue and pipefish glue help to increase the weight of thymus in mice when the solution of glue (10%) is administered into the stomach at a dose of 0.5/mouse per day for 11 days.
