For developing functional biomaterials, chemical analysis of Lespedeza cuneata including minerals, amino acids and vitamin were investigated. Minerals of L. cuneata were found to be calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, iron, manganese, zinc and copper. Among the free amino acid, proline was 33.77 mg% that were 67.2% of free amino acids and essential amino acids were 7.49 mg%. Total amino acids were analyzed as 2,817 mg% and the content of glutamic acid (496.00 mg%) was highest. In case of vitamin, the highest components was vitamin E with 33.03 mg%.
