The Rural Development Administration of Korea has identified the types of saponins in Korean Dureup (young shoots of a tree, often used in Korean cuisine). This research highlights that Korean Dureup contains 57 types of saponins, known for their immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. Key components include aralia-saponin I, II, and udosaponin B. Dureup's saponin content remains stable even when blanched. The study enhances the understanding of Dureup as a health-beneficial food, contributing to research on Korean agricultural products like ginseng and red ginseng.
