The wild sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L) is distributed in Mongeiia along the basin of rivers and lakes, which disposed between high mountains in western and northern parts ofthe country. The wild sea buckthorn is a cold tolerant unique plant with beneficial value of medicinal and cosmetic products. About 7.2% of wild sea buckthorn berries belongs to seeds and the pratein in seeds composed 37.79%, while the protein in shells equal to 15.25%. Best extraction of protiens was successful at value of pH=l- 3 or pH=10-12. The soluble protein content ofthe whole proteins in seeds was 37.4% at the value of pH=1 and 63.85% at pH=12, while the shell proteins were 16.2% and 22.8%, respectively. The tan1 content of essential amino acids is composed about 43.32-45.04% of whole protein. ~her~f~ie, it can be conclude that the sea buckthorn seeds are valuable resourse containing respectable amount of valuable proteins. Qn the other hand, seeds are undamageble during technological procedure and, therefore further precessing as raw material is advisable.
