This study aimed to evaluate the contents of pantothenic acid in 68 types of vegetables and 16 types of fruits commonly consumed in Korea. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis was performed in accordance with the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists guidelines to ensure reliability through assessments of linearity, accuracy, repeatability, reproducibility, limits of detection, and limits of quantification. The contents of pantothenic acid ranged from 0.000 to 18.823 mg/100 g in vegetables and from 0.000 to 0.988 mg/100 g in fruits. Among the vegetables, mulberry leaf powder had the highest pantothenic acid content at 18.823 mg/100 g, and among the fruits, the oriental melon with seed had the highest content at 0.988 mg/100 g. Furthermore, it was observed that most vegetables showed a reduction or absence of pantothenic acid content after boiling, steaming, or blanching. This study presents fundamental data on the pantothenic acid content in fruits and vegetables, which can be utilized as crucial public health information.
