CONSTITUTION:A composition for oral cavity containing mutanase and 0.1- 3.0wt% N-acylasarcosine salt shown by the formula (R is alkyl; N is alkali metal, or ammonium) as a surface active avent. Mutanase is an enzyme to decompose plucan produced by streqtococcus mutans, is extremely unstable, but it can be stabilized by using the compound shown by the formula as a surface active agent.
