Fish Amino Acids Amino acids make up the building blocks of protein. Some amino acids can be made by the human body, while others must be eaten in protein-containing foods. Fish, chicken, and beef each has a unique combination of amino acids. Eating animal-based proteins like these is the only way to get all of the necessary amino acids at once in one food. What Are Amino Acids? Amino acids all have nitrogren in their molecular structure; amino means nitrogen containing. There are 20 different amino acids with unique chemical structures that make up the proteins in human tissues, 11 of which can be formed internally by the human body. The remaining nine amino acids, called essential amino acids, must be eaten in a variety foods. When you eat animal proteins like fish, poultry, and beef, you eat all of the essential amino acids at once. Some examples of these essential amino acids include tryptophan, phenylalanine and lysine. Purpose The body uses each type of amino acid for different purposes. Some are used to make energy; some create new proteins like skin and hair; and excess amino acids that arent needed are excreted through urine. The typical American diet provides more amino acids than are necessary for adequate protein needs. This is primarily because of the large amount of animal-based protein in the U.S. diet, such as fish, poultry, and beef items. Vegetarians can eat enough of the essential amino acids as long as they mix different vegetable-based proteins such as grains, beans, vegetables, and nuts. In plants, amino acids fulfil a wide variety of functions. Their common role is to serve as building blocks of proteins, which exert manifold functions in plant metabolism, and as metabolites and precursors they are involved in plant defence, vitamin, nucleotide and hormone biosynthesis, and as precursors of a huge variety of secondary compounds. One way or the other, as active catalysts or as precursors, amino acids are essentially involved in all metabolic, regulatory, and physiological aspects of plant metabolism How to Make Organic Fertilizer – Fish Amino Acid (FAA) Raw Materials: 1 kilogram fish gills or spoiled fish 1 kilogram muscovado sugar or brown sugar or molasses Procedure: 1) Mix the sugar and fish ingredients 2) Fill in a suitable container and cover with paper or cheesecloth. 3) Place the container in a dry cool place and away from direct sunlight. 4) Allow to ferment for 3-4 weeks and filter. Throw the remaining solids in a compost pit. 5) Place the extract in a clean sterilized container. Store for another week before using as foliar fertilizer 6) To use: Mix 1 tablespoon to 1 liter of water or 3 tablespoon to a galon of water. https://youtube/watch?v=obp1bUqB7XA#t=107
