This investigation was undertaken for the purpose of studying the changes of pectic substances in alcohol insoluble solids(AIS) extracted from cucumbers pickled in salt. The preparation methods were brining the cucumbers in 10% NaCl solution (bolied, method A), 20% NaCl solution(bolied, method B) and 20% NaCl solution(cool to $25^{\circ}C$ after boiling, method C). The composition ratio of hot water soluble pectin(HWSP) in AIS decreased during brining, while that of 0.4% sodium hexametaphosphate soluble pectin(NaSP) increased remarkably. The contents of Ca and Mg in AIS increased regardless of preparation methods used. By DEAE-cellulose chromatography, HWSP from fresh and brined cucumbers were divided into six fracitons. 0.2M peak was the main fraction in fresh cucumber, whereas 0.05M and 0.2M peak were the main fraction in pickled cucumbers. On the other hands, NaSP from fresh and brined cucumbers were divided into five fractions and 0.4M peak was the main fraction. However, the composition ratios of galacturonic acid and neutral sugar of 0.4M fraction in brined cucumbers were higher than those of fresh cucumber.

The changes of pectic substances during baking at $175{\sim}180^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes and polygalacturonase activities of three sweet potato cultivars on textural properties were investigated. The three different types of sweet potato cultivars were the dry type (Wonki), the intermediate type (Shinmi), and the moist type (Chunmi). The moisture content, alcohol insoluble solid content, composition of pectic substances and hardness were determined before and after baking. It was found that HCl-soluble pectin was significantly changed into water soluble and sodium hexametaphosphate soluble pectin by baking. The dry type, Wonki showed the lowest moisture content, but the highest alcohol insoluble solid content and hardness. Wonki, whose polygalacturonase activity was the highest, had the highest HCl-soluble pectin content after backing.

To observe the food quality of Baik-kimchi which is known as a watery Chinese cabbage pickles without fish sauce and red pepper paste, the changes of dietary fibers and pectic substances during fermentation at 5$^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ were studied. Baik-kimchi fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ showed a greater changes in pH and acidity than those of 5$^{\circ}C$ during storage. Ripened Baik-kimchi products fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$ could be prepared on 9~12 days of fermentation, and those had a pH range from 4.25 to 4.40 and acidity of 0.34~0.53. But in the case of $25^{\circ}C$ fermentation, Baik-kimchi ripened for 3 days showed a pH of 4.02 and acidity of 0.54. The pH and acidity of the Baik-kimchi juice changed more rapidly than those of the Baik-kimchi solid regardless of fermentation temperatures. The content of soluble dietary fiber(SDF) was ranged from 3.06 to 4.87% at 5$^{\circ}C$ and a wide variation in SDF was observed in the sample fermented at $25^{\circ}C$(4.15~11.22%). Insoluble dietary fiber(IDF) were increased from 21.66% to 28.42% in solid of Baik-kimchi during fermentation at 5$^{\circ}C$ and ranged from 21.37% to 24.65% for sample fermented at $25^{\circ}C$. A notable amount of pectin had been dissolved in juice of Baik-kimchi till the best ripening time and showed the level of 223.2mg/100ml at 5$^{\circ}C$ on the day of 9 and 207.3mg/100ml at $25^{\circ}C$ on the day of 2. In contrast, the contents of pectin in solid Baik-kimchi decreased, whereas contents of sodium hexametaphosphate soluble pectin(HXSP) and HCl soluble pectin(HClSP) increased with fermentation period.
