The anticariogenic effects and inhibition of glucosyltransferase activity of Chrysanthemun indicum L. extracts were investigated against 5 strains of microorganisms. The ethanol extracts of Chrysanthemun indicum L. showed the growth inhibition effects on the Streptococcus mutans and oral bacteria. The inhibition rate of glucosyltransferase activity of Chrysanthemun indicum L. extracts showed 78.4 to 92.3% range. The extracts were analysed by using solvent fractionation, silica gel adsorption chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, TLC, HPLC techniques. Three components whose molecular weights ranged from 200 to 400 were confirmed to have the anticariogenic activity.

To evaluate a gamgug (Chrysanthemun indicum L.) as a new food material, its physicochemical properties were analyzed. The proximate compositions of gamgug were that the moisture content 10.51%, 9.38% for crude protein, 3.47% for lipid, 4.87% for ash, 13.12% for reduing sugar, 9.03% for crude fiber, and 0.74% for vitamin C, respectively. The essential amino acid contained in gamgug accounted for 41.42% of the total amino acid, while the non-essential amino acid accounted for 58.58%. It was shown that the fatty acid consisted of 6 different kinds, of which 22.63% for palmitic acid followed by 17.51% for linoleic acid, 12.76% for linolenic acid, 4.36% for myristic acid, 3.16% for oleic acid, and 0.61% for stearic acid, respectively. The content of minerals was that K was 847.4 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g which was the largest, Mg 369.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g, Ca 300.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g, and Na 61.4 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g, respectively. It was also shown that gamgug contained 45 different kinds of volatile flavor compounds, of which a docosane accounted for 9.4%, a benzene, 1-(1,5-dimethyl-4-hexenyl)-4-methyl-benzene for 5.8%, and camphor for 5.4%, respectively.

12 populatiDns of Ch indicum L. and it's variation antogenous in Tforea were selected throughout the country and their morphological characteristics were studied in this paper. The results are as follows. 1) The mean of the plant height is 97.3cm. Ch. indicunl is 76.5cm and Ch. boreale is 116. 6cm in height. The number of nodes is 58 on the average. The color of the stem is generally black-red in the case of Ch. indicum and is green for Ch. boreale. 2) The leaves of Ch. inficum are smaller In size and thicker than chose of Ch. boreale, and it has a stipule. This fact enables us to distinguish one species from the other, however, the Gyukpo-population of Ch. indicum has a large leaf, and Byunsan-population of Ch. boreale has a stipule so that the above fact is not an exact criterion on which to base one classification. 3) The size of the capitulum is 24.9mm for Ch. indicum and 15.6mm in the case of Ch. boreaje so that the difference between species is admitted. It was confirmed hat the size of the capitulum has positive correlation to that of the pedicel and has egative correlation to the number of flowers, so that of inflorescence, Ch. indicumhas corymb, and Ch. boreale has crowed corymb or umbel-type.The number of ligulates is 19 on the average, which no the difference being founnd between species and populations.4) The cluster analysis of morphological characteristics showed that Ch. indicum wasdivided into two groups, which was shown thought to be due to the difference of speciesbetween Ch. indicum and Ch. boreale. However, it could not be shown that their morphological characteristics explain a geographical relationship between populations
