Dietary fibers (DF) have been used as functional food components due to the various health promoting activities. Dietary fibers have been separated from the peels of Korean tangerine by employing ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. Optimum conditions in a batch type ultrafiltration unit using YM100 (molecular weight cut-off, MWCO=100,000), YM 10 (MWCO=10,000) and YM1 (MWCO=1,000) membranes were : transmembrane pressure 7.5 psi, temperature of the peel extracts $35^{\circ}C$, and pH of the peel extract 3.0, respectively. The flux in YM 10 membrane unit was higher than that in YM 10 or YM 1 membrane unit. However, YM 100 membrane was superior to YM 10 or YM 1 membrane with respect to the recovery of the retentate and the contents of DF The contents of DF in the tangerine peel extract, in the 170 mesh retentate, and in the YM 100 retentate were shown to be 33.4%, 18.5% and 8.4% based on dry matter, respectively. Most dietary fibers were recovered at the separation stages of 170 mesh and YM 100.

Volatile odor substance originating from drying and making dry peel of tangerine from the fruit skin were collected through modern equipment. The anti-microbial activity of the substance against various skin-residing bacteria including acne, dandruff, athelete's foot, and gingivitis inducing microorganisms were tested. Anti-microbial activity was observed in purified oil, where 87 to 92% was D-limonene. Against P. acnes, 103$cfu/m{\ell}$ of P. acnes were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu oil, and the MIC was measured to be 0.3%. Against P. ovale, a dandruff inducing bacteria, 104$cfu/m{\ell}$were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu oil, and the MIC was measured to be 0.1%. Against T. rubrum and T. Mentagrophytes, both of which are athelete's foot inducing microorganisms, 83% of T. Mentagrophytes and 99.9% of T. rubrum were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu oil, and the MIC were 0.3% and 0.05% respectively. Against S. aureus, a skin infection inducing bacteria, 103$cfu/m{\ell}$ of the bacteria were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu Oil. Against B. subtilis, a non-pathogenic sporulating bacteria, 104$cfu/m{\ell}$ of the bacteria were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu Oil. Against C. albicans, found in mucous membranes, 104$cfu/m{\ell}$ of the bacteria were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu Oil. Against Aspergillus niger, an otomycosis inducing microorganism, 99.9% were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu Oil. The results above indicate that low concentration of purified oil extracted from tangerine had strong antimicrobial activities against bacteria and fungi residing on the skin, and that it may be developed into skin disorder treating products in the future.

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.
