Abstract
Summary and Conclusions: An investigation of the properties of the alkaloids of the seeds of Lupinus termis, a common article of food in the Middle East, with the intention of detecting them chemically in toxicological specimens is described. The seeds are shown to contain a complex mixture of alkaloids. However, the colour reactions described are sufficiently specific to ensure identification in specimens, although their fate in the human body is unknown. A new modification of Jorissen's test for sparteine is described, making it sensitive to 0·1 mg.Keywords
