Abstract (AB)Twenty-three amino-acids have been detected in cane juice, pipecolic acid, methionine, tryptophan and ß-alanine for the first time, and the presence of a hydroxypipecolic acid is suggested; the presence of arginine is confirmed. Increasing the supply of nitrogen increases markedly the amides asparagine and glutamine and less markedly the basic amino-acids lysine, histidine, arginine and tryptophan. The neutral and acidic amino-acids tend to increase and the decrease in level with increasing nitrogen supply.
