Abstract
Free amino acid pattern has been studied in rice moth larvae during aflatoxicosis and compared with normal in ground nut meal and wheat bran. It was observed that there is an increase in free amino acids in intoxicated larvae and this was directly proportional to the degree of toxicity as indicated by decrease in growth of these larvae. The study of excretary pattern of amino acids shows that intoxicated larvae excrete less amino acids than the normal larvae. The results have been discussed.
