The albumins were separated from total salt-soluble protein extracts of chick pea and lentil cotyledons and were subjected to chromatogaphy on hydroxylapatite column. Chromatographic fractions were analysed by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel. The albumins of investigated cotyledons were represented by a multi-component system, which were further characterised by a complex electrophoretic composition. A noticeable difference was observed between albumins of chick pea and lentil cotyledons in the number of chromatographic fractions eluted and their electrophoretic behaviour.
