Chemical characteristics of mulberry syncarp were investigated six mulberry varieties, including Subongppong, Daeryukppong, Kuksang 20, Chongilppong, Cataneo and a wild variety. Water content of mulberry syncarp was 78.5∼85.0%and sugar degree of Kuksang 20 was the highst among six varieties. Anthocyanin content of Chongilppong mulberry syncarp was 282.42mg% and Kuksang 20 was lower 13% than Chongilppong mulberry fruit. Also Daeryukppong and wild variety were higher 11% respectively. GABA content of wild variety was higher than other varieties. In flavonol glyconsides analysis, rutin content was the highest in Cataneo, isoquercitrin content was in a wild variety, guaijaverin and quercitrin content was the highst in Chongilppong respectively.
