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.
