  • Title: Free glutamic acid content of milk in Indian mothers.
    Author: Singh P, Saxena SK, Mallick HN.
    Journal: Indian J Physiol Pharmacol; 2004 Jul; 48(3):365-9. PubMed ID: 15648412.
    Abstract:
    Free amino acids levels in the milk of 11 healthy Indian mothers were determined using automatic precolumn derivatization procedure. The aim of the study was to find out the relative concentration of glutamic acid and glutamine in the milk. Glutamic acid is the dominant free amino acid found in the milk of Indian mothers. Glutamic acid and glutamine together formed the major nonessential amino acids present in the human milk. Although glutamic acid has been shown to be the major amino acid in human milk in many studies, to the best our knowledge, this is the first report to confirm that glutamic acid is the most abundant amino acid in milk in Indian mothers.
