For the purpose of standardization and practicability of natural dyeing, the mordanting and dyeing properties of Acorn Shell was studied. Appropriate extraction, dyeing and mordanting condition of Acorn Shell were determined, and the effect of mordanting method on dye uptake and color fastness of dyed fabric was investigated. The maximum absorbance of Acorn Shell solution was at 287.5nm and 294nm. The pH effect was stable in the color difference changes. The optimum temperature to extract Acorn Shell was during 1 hour in $60^{\circ}C$. The effective dyeing temperature and time of silk were $80{\sim}100^{\circ}C$, 1hour. The silk fabrics dyed with Acorn Shell appeared yellow-brown. K/S value of dyeing fabrics was increased by mordant treatment. K/S value of post-mordanting was higher than pre-mordanting. Mordanting treatment attected color change of the dyed silk. In the case of Acorn Shell light fastness of appeared more than 3-5grades by post-mordanting. Abrasion fastness of appeared more than 3-5grades. Perspiration fastness of appered more than $3{\sim}5grades$ by mordant treatment but Cu mordant treatment was $2-5{\sim}4grades$. Dry-cleaning Fastness appered more than 4 grades except Cu mordant treatment. These fastness improvement were generally effective for mordant treatment, specially Al, Sn, Cr.

Chestnut processing plants have wasted large amounts of chestnut inner skin waste, which contains chestnut flesh. To review the availability of the chestnut flesh as a food ingredient, We have analyzed the physiochemical characteristics of the chestnut powder extracted from inner skin waste. Then, we have examined on tastes and other sensory tests using breads, noodles and jellies made from various percents of chestnut powder. The results are as follows; The water absorbing capability and amylose degradability of the powder from the inner skin waste are 40% and 8% higher than those of the core chestnut powder, respectively. Also, the power from the inner skin waste shows similar characteristics with one of the core chestnut in iodine reaction. The breads, noodles and jellies from the chestnut powder have similar characteristics in flavor, hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, chewing property, and gumminess with the traditional ones.

The phenolic substances contents of 45 plant foods in Korean diet were determined by different methods. Total phenolics contents by Folin-Denis method were $0.1{\sim}5.8%$ (dry matter basis), in which persimmon leaf, chestnut's inner skin, Chinese quince, walnut, sunflower seed and arrowroot exhibited the higher levels above 2%. Condensed tannin contents by vanillin method were $0{\sim}48%$, in which Chinese quince and chestnut's inner layer gave very high levels. Protein-precipitable phenolic substances ranged from 0.4% to 2.2%, in which chestnut's inner layer, walnut and Chinese quince had the highest content. The ability of phenolics to form precipitate was higher with pepsin and albumin than with trypsin. Among different phenolics content, total phenlolics correlated significantly with protein-precipitable phenolics (r=0.65) and condensed tannin (r=0.56). Chinese quince, chestnut's inner skin and sorghum showed a relatively lower degree of polymerization, as expressed by vanillin/FolinDenis ratio. Processed foods from buckwheat, acorn, mugwort and arrowroot showed a lower content of phenolic substances, suggesting a negligible adverse effect on the bioavailability of food proteins, if any.
