AMINO ACID PROFILING OF WHEAT GRAIN

Abstract

Amino acids are important molecules and also used as Osmo protectants. They are crucial for our bodies and immune function. Deficiency can weaken the immune system, but supplementing specific amino acids may help boost immunity. The amino acid profiles in wheat grains at various developmental stages, ranging from early stages to maturity. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is employed to quantify the levels of specific amino acids, including glycine and arginine, indicative of the synthesis of distinct proteins. There is also impact of temperature variations on protein stability in wheat grains. Correlation is also seen between amino acid imbalances and skin and central nervous system issues. The findings underscore the critical role of amino acids in wheat grains, not only as essential nutrients but also as contributors to global nutrition. The study elucidates the multifaceted impact of wheat on human health, emphasizing its role as a vital source of energy and essential nutrients.
