The taxonomic identity and distribution of Artemisia integrifolia L. were reviewed based on the specimens collected from Bukchangpyeong, Onseong-gun, Hamgyeongbuk-do (in KYO), Hamrimsan, Gyeongheung-gun, Hamgyeongbuk-do (in KYO) and Hoeyang-gun Gangwon-do (in SKK). A. integrifolia is distinguishable from A. viridissima and A. subulata by middle cauline characteristics such as cauline leaves ellipticlanceolate, 1-3 pairs with coarsely serrated margins. The illustration, description and key to similar species are provided.

One hundred Individuals that were collected from plains and mountains all around South Korea were used for this experiment. The inhibition abilities of lipid peroxidation by Artemisia spp. collections were compared with BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene). The results could be confirmed the excellency fur control of lipid peroxide level such as BHT 200 ppm in all mugwort collections. Antioxidant activity (AEAC), electron donating ability (EDA), total phenolic compound, and flavonoids of 100 Artemisia spp. collections were analyzed. Total phenolic compound contents of Artemisia spp. collections were ranged from 156 to 1,767 rng/100 g, and mugwort collections with more than 900 mg/100 g of total phenolic compound content were 20 individuals. Electron donating abilities were ranged from 13.4 to 95.0%, and mugwort collections over 90% of electron donating ability were 23 individuals. Antioxidant activity of ethanol extracts that used ABTS and DPPH radical were measured and mugwort collections with high total phenolic compound contents had high radical exclusion ability as well. Artemisia spp. collections, AC-60, AC-67, AC-77, that showed the high levels of antioxidant activities and had good growth characters and productivity, were selected for mass production.
