Abstract
The development and refinement of a technique, based on gas chromatography, for the amino acid analysis of fishβmeal are described. Emphasis is placed on streamlining the procedure to facilitate handling samples on a routine basis. Experiments are described from which data are assessed for precision. Results from these experiments confirm that the hydrolysis step contributes significantly to the reduced precision encountered in this type of analysis.

Existing methods for the separation and quantitation of galactosaminitol, glucosaminitol, glucosamine, and galactosamine with an amino acid analyzer have been improved substantially by (1) addition of 15% (v/v) 1-propanol to the citrate-borate buffer, (2) utilization of a two-buffer system, (3) doub
