Abstract: This research article is an effort to study the relative biochemical estimation of free amino acids in the larval bodies of three mutant strains viz: Daba-blue, Daba-yellow and Daba-almond of tasar silk worm, Antheraea mylitta. Results obtained are indicative of the fact that the Am-blue mutant strains of Antheraea mylitta carry greater number of free amino acid as compared to Am-yellow and Am-almond mutant strains of A. mylitta. The concentration of free amino acids during commercial crop season in all the mutant strains have been found relatively greater than the seed crop season. The number and concentration of free amino acids have been found to present variation in relation to genetic makeup, dietary and ecological conditions.
