Abstract

Examination of the amino acid composition and contents in ethanol extracts from 6 species of Thai medicinal plants revealed that Mucuna collettii contained a large amount of L-DOPA (62.5 umol/g dry wt) which occupied about 83% of all free amino acids in this plant. Some plants yielded a relative high amount of GABA as a major amino acid.
