Fig. 5From: Possibility of using the tips obtained from the “Uradome” of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) as a food sourceFree amino acid content of bamboo shoots and uradome tips. This figure compares the contents of 18 free amino acids in uradome tips and bamboo shoots. Tyrosine is shown as a separate graph with a different y-axis range because it has significantly higher values than the other amino acids. The names of the amino acid abbreviations are as follows. Arg: arginine, Lys: lysine, His: histidine, Phe: phenylalanine, Leu: leucine, Lle: isoleucine, Met: methionine, Val: valine, Ala: alanine, Gly: glycine, Pro: proline, Glu: glutamic acid, Ser: serine, Thr: threonine, Asp: aspartic acid, Trp: tryptophan, Cys: cysteineBack to article page
