[Objective] The electronic tongue was used to explore the correlation between the taste information of Chrysanthemum indicum and the linarin content in different origins, and to analyze the regularity of linarin in different origins. [Method] Chrysanthemum indicum from different origins were collected, the TS-5000 Z electronic tongue system and UPLC were used to measure the taste information and the linarin content, resp., to investigate the difference in taste of Chrysanthemum indicum from different origins and their correlation with the linarin content, and to analyze the distribution law of linarin content of Chrysanthemum indicum from different origins. [Result] The taste difference of Chrysanthemum indicum from different origins was mainly manifested in bitterness, sourness and astringency. There was extremely significant pos. correlation between bitterness and the linarin content (P<0.01), and there was a certain correlation between different taste indicators. The samples from different origins could be divided into 4 groups based on the linarin content. Groups I and II were high content groups, mainly distributed in Henan Province, Hubei Province and Anhui Province. Based on the taste information and the linarin content, the samples from different origins could be classified into 4 groups. Among them, group II and IV had higher linarin content, and the taste index showed higher bitterness and bitter aftertaste. According to the qualified rate of linarin content in the investigated provinces, Anhui Province, Henan Province and Hubei Province was higher. [Conclusion] The bitterness index of Chrysanthemum indicum had a significant pos. correlation with the linarin content (P<0.01), which provided a reference for the quality control of Chrysanthemum indicum. By comparing the content of linarin in different areas, the distribution of linarin in different areas was analyzed, which was of great significance for demarcating the planting area of Chrysanthemum indicum and realizing the high-quality cultivation of Chrysanthemum indicum L..
