Objective: To clarify the relevance of amino acid content in cultivated Cordyceps and cultivation materials.
Method: The content of amino acid was determined with L-8800 amino acid analyzer, and the relevance of amino acid content was analyzed with SPSS.
Result and conclusion: Except mycelium of the C. sinensis or the blood-lymph of the larva, the cultivated Cordyceps and the main relevant cultivation materials had detected to contain all kinds of amino acids. Except among the mycelium, the blood-lymph of the larva, the part of the larva or of the stroma of cultivated Cordyceps, there was distinct relevance of amino acid contents in cultivated Cordyceps and the cultivation materials (P<0.01).
