Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate chemical and physical characteristics of pectin in Korean ginseng plant. The results obtained are as follows: 1, The molecular weight of the pectin in ginseng plant was in the range of 1.1-2.4x 104 and athydrouronic acid content in the pectin was 97.98%. 2. The intrinsic viscosity of pectin as well as apparent visosity of the pectin in the roots were increased with cultural period. 3. The IR spectra of ginseng pectin showed the OH stretch, C-H bending vibration and the vibration of ester group carboxyl. 4. Sugars present in galacturonic acid, glucose, arbinose, xylose, galactose and rhamnose.
