| Abstract: | Acid hydrolysis of the protein fraction of a batch of egg shells of Rhipicephalus sanguineus was followed by determination of the amino acids in the hydrolysate. Using thin layer chromatography, the amino acids—lysine, arginine, aspartic acid, serine, glycine, glutamic acid, alanine, threonine, valine, tyrosine, isoleucine, and leucine were identified. Alkaline hydrolysis of the fraction followed by TLC revealed the presence of tryptophane. Chitin was revealed utilizing a chitosan test. |
