Total essential amino acids were maximum in berried females (11.396 g) followed by males (7.529 g) and females (7.483 g). Totally 11 non-essential amino acids were recorded in the present study. Glutamic acid was uniformly maximum in all sexes. However serine was minimum in all animals irrespective of the sex. Total non-essential amino acids were maximum in berried females (15.257 g) rather than males (11.034 g) and females (8.120 g). From the study it could confirm that amino acids contributed the maximum in berried females followed by males and females.
