Abstract

Amino acids are the base of all life functions, as they are absolutely essential for every metabolic process. Magnolia is used as an ornamental tree in gardens and has several pharmacological properties as well. The present study investigated the variation in amino acids in the flowers of Magnolia denudata and Magnolia liliiflora. We found that 21 different amino acids varied in concentration between M. denudata and M. liliiflora flowers. M. denudata had the highest levels of all amino acids with the exception of glutamate. The amino acids tyrosine and methionine were not detected in M. denudata. However, M. liliiflora contained some level of all 21 amino acids. The levels of asparagine, glutamine, alanine, cysteine and aspartate were much higher than those of the other amino acids irrespective of Magnolia species, although in M. denudata the levels of asparagine, glutamine, alanine, cysteine and aspartate were 1.50, 1.57, 1.23, 2.99 and 1.82 times higher, respectively, than those measured in M. liliiflora. The amino acids valine, serine, threonine, g-aminobutyric acid, leucine, arginine, glutamate and tryptophan were found in moderate quantities in the Magnolia species, with M. denudata containing the highest quantity of each amino acid. Levels of glycine, norvaline, phenylalanine, isoleucine and lysine were the lowest irrespective of Magnolia species; however, M. denudata had higher quantities of each amino acid when compared to that in M. liliiflora. Our results show that flowers from different Magnolia species contain varying amounts of amino acids, suggesting that the flowers of Magnolia species have excellent potential as a source of amino acids.
