The effect of vitamin B12 status and pectin feeding on vitamin B12 absorption in rats were studied. Rats in low, medium, and high vitamin B12 status were fed either fiber-free or 10% pectin diet and absorption of a single oral dose of vitamin B12 status of rats was verified by urinary methylmalonic acid and liver vitamin B12 measurements. Absorption of vitamin B12 tended to increase as the rats became deficient in vitamin B12 , although the difference was not significant . Pectin inhibited absorption of vitamin B12 regardless of the vitamin B12 status of the rats. The results demonstrated that inhibition of vitamin B12 absorption by pectin would be a possible mechanism for the impairment of vitamin B12 status due to chronic pectin feeding.

Effects of carbon sources, incubation time, incubation temperature, initial incubation pH, and vitamin B complex on the polygalacturonase activity of Byssochlamys fulva were studied to confirm the optimum conditions for the production of that enzyme. When pectin was used as carbon source, polygalacturonase activity reached to the maximum value of 0.50 units/ml. After 5 days of incubation, polygalacuturonase activity reached to its maximum of 0.48units/ml. Polygalacturonase activities were similar between $25^{\circ}C\;and\;45^{\circ}C$, however, decreased dramatically in the outside of this range. Polygalacturonase activity was not signicicantly influenced by the variation of initial incubation pH. However, at pH5.0, polygalacturonase activity was slightly through the addition of thiamine and riboflavin, and the optimum concentrations were $10^{-2}M$ in case of thiamine and $10^{-3}M$ in riboflavin.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the physicochemical properties of isolated pectic substances from Citron, Satsuma mandarin, Marumero, and Natsudaidai. Among varieties, Citron had the highest value of isnoluble pectin and Marumero had the hightest ratio of soluble pection. The total pectin contents isolated by 2% Sodium hexameta-phosphate(SHMP) varied in the range of 1.85% ~ 2.63%. Anhydrogalacturonic acid(AUA) contents were 78.64%~89.14% and were lower than commercial pectin. Isolated pectin contained above 7% methoxyl content and above 50% esterification. The apparent molecular weight of commercial pectin and isolated pectin were 72,000 and 42,000~46,000 respectively. Esterification and ester methoxyl content were the lowest and apparent molecular weight was the highest in Satsuma mandarin. Citron's values were a little higher in esterification and ester methoxyl content and lower in apparent molecular weight than the others.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of Su Ri Chwi (Synurus Palmatopinnonatifidus var. indivisus KiTAM.) cooked in different solution (distilled water, 1%, salt and 1% sodium bicarbonate added water) and time. The content of crude fiber showed the highest percentage among the alcohol-insoluble solids of cooked Su Ri Chwi. The contents of Ca and Mg were decreased by the addition of 1% sodium bicarbonate. The main neutral sugars of alcohol insoluble solids were arabinose, galactose, and glucose. The content of glucose was increased regardless of method used. The main neutral sugars of crude pectins were rhamnose, arabinose and glucose. Galactose was increased by the cooking. The gel chromatography on Sepharose CL-4B indicated that the pectin extracted from cooked Su Ri Chwi had lower molecular weight distribution than that of the raw Su Ri Chwi. Total pectin was decreased by the cooking method used. The amounts of soluble pectins of Su Ri Chwi cooked in 1% sodium bicarbonate added water were lower than those of raw material.

This study was carried out for the purpose of improving the persimmon vinegar. Crushed persimmon(persimmon pulp) was used at alcohol fermentation using Saccharomyces bayanus for persimmon alcohol medium preparation. Glucose(8.39%) and fructose(7.96%) were the dominant free sugar in persimmon pulp before the at cohol fermentation. They decreased abruptly during alcohol fermentation and glucose was consumed more rapidly than fructose. Final alcohol concentration was finally reached to 8%(v/v) in 5 days for mentation of persimmon pulp. Pectinase pre-treatment of persimmon pulp resulted in tusker contents of galacturonic acid, galactose, methyl alcohol and isoamyl alcohol in main mash for alcohol fermentation than those in main mash prepared without pectinase pre-treatment. After alcohol fermentation tannin concentration was 350ppm and astringency was not perceived.

The contents and physicochemical properties of fiber in 15 kinds of vegetables being consumed commoly in Korea were investigated, and the effects of various cooking and Kimchi fermentation) on fiber were studied. Contents of total pechin in raw vegetables were 0.89-2.75g/100g, and most were 1-2g/100g, on dry weight basis. Considering each fraction of pectic substances, the content of HWSP of vegetables ranged in 0.33-0.98g/100g, HXSP, 0.29-0.81g/100g and HCLSP, 0.30-1.40g/100g. HCLSP of three pectic fractions showed the greatest variation according to the kinds of vegetables. Every vegetables showed similar contents of three pectic fraction. Cooking decreased total pectin content in all vegetables regardless of cooking methods and the greatest reduction was observed in boiling. Among three pectic fractions, hot water soluble pectin(HWSP) increased, and sodium hexamtaphosphate soluble pectin(HXSP) and HCL soluble pectin(HCLSP) decreased.

This study was done to evaluate the effects of grape variety, pH and sugar contents on textural and sensory properties of grape pectin jelly. As a gelling agent, pectin 1% was selected due to highest sensory scores in preparatory experiments and also nutritional and economical reasons. To get the proximate composition of grape extract, moisture, pH, reducing sugar, and total titratable acidity was measured. Grape pectin jellies, made by 12 different recipies, were tested by sensory and instrumental evaluatoin. The results were as follows; 1) Hardness and chewiness were lowered in grape jelly which has lower pH and lower sugar contents. 2) People preferred grape jelly which has lower hardness, brittleness and sweetness, and higher sourness. 3) Comparing overall quality, Recipe C1 in Jelly 1 and recipe B1 in Jelly 2 were chosen as best. 4) Sensory hardness showed positive correlation with instrumental hardness, brittleness and chewiness.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of fish sauces from shrimp and anchovy and chitosan on the changes in pH, acidity, texture, and pectin fraction during Kimchi fermentation. Also, we conducted sensory evaluation on the textural properties of various Kimchis. The results were as follows: During fermentation, pH was decreased in the order of fermented anchovy sauce, fermented shrimp and control. And acidify was increased in the same order. But the addition of chitosan retarded the decrease in pH and increase in acidity. The compression force of various Kimchis during fermentation was decreased in the rder of fermented anchovy sauce, fermented shrimp, control and the addition of chitosan. During fermentation, hot water soluble pectin (HWSP) of control, fermented shrimp and fermented anchovy sauce increased whereas HCI soluble pectin (HCISP) in there treatments decreased. On the while, HWSP decreased and HCISP increased by addition of chitosan. Sensory score for the texture parameters such as hardness, crispness and chewiness of various Kimchis after the 3rd and 5th days of fermentation showed that hardness, crispness and chewiness were higher in chitosan treatment than in other treatments. The pH and acidity, compression force of Kimchis were appeared to be most highly correlated with crispness, showing that pH and compression force gave positive correlation and acidity gave negative correlation with crispness respectively. From the above results, chitosan addition was observed to infuluence the textural properties of Kimchi and their pectic substance.

The physicochemical properties of Korean yam starches (D. aimadoimo, D. batatas and D. japonica) were investigated. The mean granular size of starches were 23.5 μm for D. aimadoimo, 23.9 μm for D. batatas and 18.2 μm for D. japonica. Amylose content, blue value and water binding capacity was $29{\sim}33%,\;0.42{\sim}0.51%\;and\;109.9{\sim}118.3%$, respectively. The optical transmittance of 0.3% (dry basis) yam starch suspensions were increased at $70{\sim}75^{\circ}C$ and D. japonica showed typical two-step transmittance curve. The swelling power and solubility patterns increased over $60^{\circ}C$, and D. aimadoimo was the highest values. Amylogram patterns of 5% (dry basis) yam starch suspensions, determined by Brabender amylograph, were similar to that of yam flours and the viscosity of D. aimadoimo had 630 BU, which was about 5 times higher than 130 BU for D. batatas and D. japonica. Observation under scanning electron microscope lefted marks of resistance to glucoamylase because these surfaces were similar to the natural granules. In rates of solubiliazation by dimethyl sulfoxide, D. aimadoimo showed the highest value. (3-Amylolysis limits of yam starches and their amylose were $71.8%{\sim}75.5%\;and\;90.2{\sim}92.1%$, respectively. Gel filtration patterns of debranched amylopectin by pullulanase were divided into 3 peaks. The weight ratios of peak III to peak II in yam starches were $2.15%{\sim}2.42%$.
