Studies on the Xylans of Tropical Hardwoods (III) - Property of Purified Xylan -

열대산활엽수재(熱帯産闊葉樹材)의 Xylan에 관(関)한 연구(硏究) (III) - 정제(精製) Xylan의 성상(性状) -

The property of four tropical hardwoods were analyzed. xylans, extracted with 24% of potassium hydroxide and purified according to ethanol titration procedure, were examined for Pn, the uronic acid, methoxyl groups and acetyl groups content. Only mangrove, whose xylan content is similar to that of hardwoods in the temperature zone, had the ratio of units of xylose residue to the units of uronic acid residue as high as that of hardwoods in the temperature zone. Content of methoxyl groups showed the same result as uronic acid residue content. Various hemicellulose including D-xylose residue were contained in xylans extracted by D M S O. Acetyl groups content was compressed of 5.4% of M D X and 6.8% of R D X. Xylans unextracted by D M S O had acetyl groups. Pn measured by the viscosity method was about 200 and similar to the hardwood xylans of temperature zone. DPn calculated by uronic acid residue was similar to that of tropical zone.

4수종(樹種) 열대산활엽수재(熱帯産闊葉樹材) Xylan의 성상(性状)을 분석(分析)하였다. Xylan은 24% KOH로 추출(抽出)하였으며 ethanol 적하법(適下法)으로 정제(精製)하고, Uronic acid잔기(残基), methoxyl기(基) 및 acetyl기(基)의 함유량(含有量)과 점도법(粘度法)에 의하여 중합도(重合度)를 측정(測定)하였다. Uronic acid잔기(残基)에 대한 Xylan잔기(残基)의 비(比)는 Xylan함유율(含有率)이 온대산활엽수재(温帯産闊葉樹材)의 그것과 비슷한 mangrove재(材)의 경우만이 온대산활엽수재(温帯産闊葉樹材)의 그것과 필적(匹敵)하는 높은 값을 나타내었다. Methoxyl기(基)도 Uronic acid잔기(残基) 함유량(含有量)의 결과(結果)와 동일(同一)하였다. DMSO추출(抽出) Xylan중(中)에는 D-xylose잔기(残基)이외의 Hemicellulose도 다수(多数) 함유(含有)되어 있으며, acetyl기량(基量)은 MDX 5.4%, RDX 6.8%로 xylose 잔기(残基) 5~6개당(個当) 1개(個)이고, DMSO추출(抽出) 된지 않은 Xylan에는 acetyl기(基)가 존재(存在)하였다. 점도법(粘度法)에서 측정(測定)한 $\bar{P}_n$는 200전후(前後)로 온대산활엽수재(温帯産闊葉樹材)와 비슷하였고, Uronic acid잔기(残基)로 계산(計算)한 $\bar{DP}n$ 열대산활엽수재(熱帯産闊葉樹材)와 비슷하였다.
