Discipline: agriculture food and related studies

 

Abstract:

Defatted meal from ipil-ipil seeds containing 34.40% crude protein was fractionated using the Osborne method. Total soluble proteins amounted to 79.8% which was broken down as follows: 51.7% albumins, 14.0% glo- bulins, 3.9% prolamins and 10.0% glutelins. The residue contained 11,9% protein.
