A convenient method for the analysis of free L-canavanine in leguminous plants is described. Canavanine was specifically hydrolyzed to canaline and urea by the enzyme arginase (EC 3.5.3.1). The resulting amino-oxy functions of canaline were measured based on their ability to bleach the yellow colour of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. Canavanine in the seeds of Canavalia ensiformis was determined with this method.
本文描述了一种分析豆科植物中游离L-刀豆氨酸的简便方法。刀豆氨酸通过精氨酸酶（EC 3.5.3.1）特异性水解为刀豆碱和尿素。基于刀豆碱的氨基氧基官能团使5'-磷酸吡哆醛的黄色褪色的能力来测定其含量。用该方法测定了刀豆种子中的刀豆氨酸。
