| Summary: | The wild
sea
buckthorn
(Hippophae
rhamnoides
L)
is distributed
in
Mongeiia
along
the
basin
of
rivers
and
lakes, which
disposed
between high
mountains
in western
and
northern parts
ofthe
country.
The
wild
sea
buckthorn
is a cold tolerant
unique plant with beneficial
value
of
medicinal and
cosmetic
products.
About
7.2%
of
wild
sea
buckthorn berries belongs
to
seeds
and
the
pratein
in
seeds composed
37.79%,
while
the protein
in shells
equal to 15.25%.
Best extraction
of
protiens
was
successful
at value
of
pH=l-
3
or
pH=10-12.
The
soluble
protein
content
ofthe
whole proteins
in seeds was
37.4%
at the value
of
pH=1
and
63.85% at
pH=12,
while
the
shell
proteins were
16.2%
and
22.8%,
respectively.
The
tan1
content
of
essential
amino
acids
is composed about 43.32-45.04% of
whole protein.
~her~f~ie,
it
can
be
conclude
that
the
sea
buckthorn
seeds are
valuable resourse containing
respectable
amount
of
valuable proteins.
Qn
the other
hand,
seeds are
undamageble during
technological procedure and,
therefore further
precessing
as
raw material is
advisable. |
