Abstract
The suitability of green tops of chicory for the preparation of leaf protein at difterent ages of the plant has
been studied. The leaf protein preparations contained
(on percentage basis) protein (nitrogen x 6<l5). 30;
mineral matter, 29; ether extractives, 8; and carbo_
hydrates, 40, with negUgible crude fibre. Leaf protein
extra<::tion was optimum in 150 days old plants 1 the
bitterness in protein was removed by boillna with
water.
