In this study, we assessed the functional characteristics of Aralia continentalis Kitagawa (AcK) and Araliacontinentalis Kitagawa leaf (AcK-leaf), including crude saponin contents, antioxidant activity, nutritive elements, dietaryfiber, and chlorophyll contents. The results of our analysis of nutritive elements in AcK, the contents of the generalcomponents, inorganic components, and vitamins were all relatively high. The contents of inorganic components were alsohigh in the following order: K>Ca>P>Na>Mg. Among vitamins, β-carotene and vitamin C contents were all high. Thecrude saponin content was 63.7 mg/g in the AcK and 63.5 mg/g in the AcK leaf, and the antioxidant activity wasdetermined to be relatively high. With regard to the dietary fiber content, the total dietary fiber content was 2.13% (soluble0.40, insoluble 1.72) in the AcK and 5.98% (soluble 1.06, insoluble 4.89) in the AcK leaf, and the total chlorophyll contentwas 92.58mg in the AcK and 147.25mg/100g in the AcK-leaf.
