A. altissima 엽(葉)의 free amino acid 및 free organic acid의 함량(含量)을 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. free amino acid는 lysine, histidine, arginine, tryptophan, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, threonine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine 등 17종(種)이 정량(定量)되었으며 이들 중 glutamic acid가 가장 많아 전(全)아미노산량의 48.3%를 차지하였다. 2. free organic acid는 formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid 등 8종(種)이 정량되었고 sorbic acid는 미량(微量)이었으며, 이들 중 fumaric acid가 가장 많았다.
Contents of free amino acids and organic acids in the leaves of Ailanthus altissima were surveyed through the course of this study. The results were as follows; 1. Lysine, histidine, arginine, tryptophan, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, threonine, serine, proline, glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, tyrosine and phenylalanine were presented in the leaves of A. altissima, and glutamic acid showed the highest amount and was more than about 48% of total free amino acids. 2. Fumaric acid was the major organic acid in the leaves of A. altissima, and also formic acid, acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid and sorbic acid were determined, and two unknown were found.
