초록

The single oral toxicity of Jeju citrus rind pectin (Jeju pectin) was studied in Spraque-Dawley rats of both sexes. In this study, rats were administrated orally with dosages of 100, 250 and 500 mg/kg of Jeju pectin. We daily examined number of deaths, clinical signs, body weights and gross findings for 14 days after Jeju pectin administration. When we administered different doses of 100, 250 and 500 mg/kg. We found no rats died in both sex after administration. Some clinical signs (decrease locomotor activity, salivation, soft stool, prone position, lacrimation, crouching position, convulsion, ataxic gait, incontinence of mine) were also observed during the experimental period.
