The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal mixing conditions for different amounts of konjac(0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6%) and carrageenane(0.8, 1.0, 1.2, l.4, 1.6%) in the preparation of citrus jelly, using the central composite design. The results showed that the sensory and mechanical characteristics of the jelly increased with decreasing konjac and carrageenane contents. Overall optimal conditions that satisfied the rheology, appearance characteristics and sensory properties of the citrus jelly were 0.2% konjac, 1.2% carrageenane and 30minutes of heating time using citrus juice of $20^{\circ}C$Brix and 0.3% citric acid.

To increase the utilization of citron(Citrus junos), manufacturing conditions of citron jelly were studied. Citron extract was diluted 7 fold for jelly processing and it's pH was 2.64. Due to the low pH of citron extract, 2.5∼3.0% of pectin was added which was slightly higher than the amount for ordinary jelly process. To reduce the loss of citron flavor and vitamin C, it was heated for 10 min. and found to be enough for proper hardness of jelly. Agar and gelatin was used as jellying agents to improve the physical properties of pectin jelly. From the result of compression curve analysis, addition of 5% and 7% of gelatin were more effective in jelly texture than agar in 1.5% and 2.5% pectin jelly, respectively. Sucrose was replaced by glucose and oligosaccharide; galactooligosaccharide, fructooligosaccharide and isomaltooligosaccharide. From the sensory evaluation analysis, 30% of sucrose and 30% of isomaltooligosaccharide in jelly was evaluated as superior to other sugars.

The pectin content in tangerine peel and the characteristics of extracted pectin and its gel were determined. The pectin contents of citrus peel and citrus albedo were 11.52% and 9.3% on a dry weight basis, respectively The equivalent weight, methoxyl content and acetyl content of the extracted citrus peel pectin were 596, 13.41% and 0.125% respectively. The intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight of extracted citrus peel pectin were higher than those of commercial citrus pectin samples. The anhydrouronic acid content and jelly grade of the extracted pectins were 98.4% and 138.1, respectively. These were higher than those of commercial citrus pectin. In the textural characteristics of gels, the gel made from the extracted pectin was shown to have lower values in hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness and gumminess than the gels made from commercial citrus pectins.

Pectin, hesperidin and naringin were extracted from hot air-dried peel ($60^{\circ}C$, 1 hr and air velocity 160 fpm) of citrus produced in Korea in order to see the amount of each component contained in the peel. Pectin was extracted by three different methods and the quality and contents of the pectins were determined respectively. 1. The pectin yield by the total pectic substance method was the highest (26.0% for unshiu (U) and 28.5% for natsudaidai (N) expectedly and the soluble pectic substance method the least (13.5%(U) and 15.6% (N)) The yield by method III (extraction by water at pH 1.5 followed by isopropanol precipitation) was intermediate (18.1% (U) and 20.8%(N)). Anhydrouronic acid (AUA) content was the highest (92.0% (U) and 90.3%(N)) in those by method III. The AUA contents of the other pectins were 80.0% for soluble pectin (for both U and N), 71.6% for the commercial pectin (Sunkist Groups Inc., U.S.A.), 58.0%(N) and 63.4%(U) for total pectic substance. 2. The methoxyl content of total pectic substance was the lowest (4.81%(U) and 4.88%(N)). However, there was no significant difference in methoxyl content among the rest which were found to have low levels(5.27-7.20%). 3. The pectin by method III gave the highest jelly strength. The commercial pectin, soluble pectice substance and total pectic substance were next in order. 4. The hesperidin content of unshiu was 5.07% (dry basis) and the naringin content of natsudaidai 3.03% (dry basis).
