The physical properties of mulberry leaf noodle were compared with 3 level of rates(5, 10, and 20%) of mulberry leaf powder to wheat flour and 6 times of leaf picking seasons. The contents of rutin, ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and inorganic compounds in mulberry leaf were analyzed with seasons and pretreatment of mulberry leaf. Dry matter content of mulberry leaf powder was about 20%. The leaf powder passed through 100 mesh sieve was 6% from fresh leaf weight. Through the taste test, 10% mulberry powder rate to flour was the best. Rutin content decreased with season, 319mg/100g DW on May 13, but 111mg/100g DW on May 26 and 43mg/100g DW on June 9. Rutin in dry leaf lost 37% by steaming and 83% by in boiling water. CAGA content on leaf decreased with season, 27.7mg/100g FW on May 13 and about 60% of on June 9.

Mulberry containing many bioactive components is very useful as functional food resource. Mulberry leaf ice cream, mulberry leaf tea, mulberry noodle, mulberry fruit jam, mulberry wine etc. have been developed in Korea. Because mulberry fruit has abundant natural pigments belonging to anthocyanins, we can expect their therapeutic and physiological effects. However, there are few reports about mulberry seed. So we studied on fatty acids of mulberry seed for the purpose of increasing the functional utilization of mulberry fruit. (omitted)
