Lysine content of germinated oats increased after 8 days from 4.4 to 5.3 g/16 g N. Increases in nonprotein N, albumin and residue N (all rich in lysine) and decreases in globulin and prolamin (poor in lysine) accompanied sprouting. The percent N in oats germinated for 3 days or longer was greater than that in the initial grain as a result of dry matter loss in the grain during germination, but the absolute amount of N/kernel was decreased.
