Abstract

Lebanese-grown seed ofLupinus termis Forsk, was found to contain 2.075–2.34% of total alkaloids calculated as lupanine on the basis of the whole nondefatted seed and 9.19–9.36% of fat. Besides (±) lupanine, known to be the alkaloid ofL. termis seed, the seed was found to contain 13-hydroxylupanine in a small amount and four, possibly six, other unidentified alkaloids in small or trace quantities.
