description

Abstract A spectrophotometric procedure is proposed for the determination of total free amino acids after reaction with o-phthalaldehyde and N-acetyl- l -cysteine, using isoleucine as the reference. The procedure was applied to the analysis of five samples of widely different composition. Recoveries were 98–105%.
