This study decided to examine Astragalus sinicus L as a material of the study based on the results of previous studies that reported it has high level of medicinal components and effects as an anti-oxidant. Therefore, it analysed physicochemical features of seeds of Astragalus sinicus L and its contents in order to identify possibility of developing new raw materials for functional cosmetics and food. In a general analysis of seeds of Astragalus sinicus L, it was demonstrated that it has 10.581% of moisture contents, 3.302% of crude ash, 33.232% of crude protein, and 4.410% of crude fat. A total of seven kinds of minerals were found, 435.26 ppm of Ca, 474.50 ppm of Na, and 8.08 ppm of Mn. A total of five kinds of free sugar contents were found, including 7,637.2 ppm of sucrose and 1,163.0 ppm of mannose. This study found a total of nine kinds of organic acid with succinic acid of 26,001.8 ppm, citric acid of 9,008.1 ppm, malonic acid of 8,768.4 ppm, and fumaric acid of 54.8 ppm. There were a total of 10 kinds of fatty acid, C16(palmitic acid) of 10,750 ppm, C18:2(linoleic acid) of 10,500 ppm, lowest contents of C8(caprylic acid) and C20:1(eicosenoic acid) in it.
