This paper investigates the penetration of essential oil into radial and longitudinal directions of Castanea crenata. Present study was performed to know the essential oil penetration depth in radial and longitudinal direction of Castanea crenata. Essential oil penetration depth was found higher in longitudinal direction than in radial direction and it was about 53 times high at 15.0 second of penetration. In early wood, fiber conducted oil more than that of large vessel. In heartwood, fiber had played an important role for the conduction of oil. But in sapwood, small vessel conducted oil deeper than wood fiber, which was also significantly different from large. On the other hand, large vessel in heartwood had statistically lower penetration depth than that of fiber and small vessel. At the beginning of penetration the speed was high and gradually decreased in course of time.

본 연구에서는 밤나무 잎의 50 % ethanol 추출물로부터 얻은 ethyl acetate 분획을 0.2 % 함유한 제품의 안정성을 평가하였다. 추출물 함유 크림을 8주 동안 태양광선에서의 노출과 다양한 온도($4^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $37^{\circ}C$ 및 $45^{\circ}C$) 하에서 2주 간격으로 pH, 흡광도 및 점도의 변화를 측정하였다. 밤나무 잎 추출물 함유크림(시험제형)과 함유하지 않은 크림(비교제형)의 pH 및 점도 측정 결과 태양광선, $4^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ 하에서는 거의 변화가 없었으나, $37^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$ 하에서는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 하지만 시험제형과 비교제형의 변화 양상이 같은 것으로 보아 밤나무 잎 추출물은 크림의 점도 감소에 영향을 주지 않고, 다만, 크림 제조 시 크림에 함유되어 있는 성분들의 조성 및 성분들 간의 물리 화학적 반응으로 인해 점도 변화가 있는 것으로 생각되어 진다. 흡광도 측정에서는 2주 후 전체적으로 감소가 있었으나, 4주 후 측정시에는 2주 후에 측정치와 거의 동일한 값을 나타내어 밤나무 잎 추출물이 안정화 된 것으로 보여진다. 첨부해서, 추출물 함유 크림과 대조군 크림은 8주 동안 동일한 실험 조건에서, 변취나 변색이 나타나지 않았으며, 크리밍이나 응집과 같은 현상은 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 밤나무 잎의 ethyl acetate 분획 함유 크림을 피부에 도포한 후 경표피 수분 손실량과 피부 수분 함량의 변화를 측정한 결과 밤나무 잎의 ethyl acetate 분획 함유 크림은 피부에 우수한 보습 효과를 나타냄을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들로부터, 밤나무 잎 추출물을 함유한 크림은 비교적 안정함을 확인하였으며, 향후 제품에 응용 시 사전 연구에서 나타난 항산화 및 미백과 주름개선에 대한 효과를 발휘할 수 있도록 보완 연구가 이루어진다면 화장품의 제품화가 가능할 것이라고 사료된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the micromorphology of vessel wall sculpture such as shape of perforation plate, perforation rim, steepness of perforation plate, occurrence of vestured pit, warty layer and ray-vessel pitting on 13 species of Fagaceae in Korea. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. In the species examined, all sample species except Fagus crenata var. multinervis have simple perforation plate. But Fagus crenata var. multinervis has simple and scalariform perforation plate (it was called to combination perforation plate) in a tree stem. 2. The shapes of perforation rim could be classified into five types; Type A without tail, Type B with small tail on both sides, Type C with long tail on both sides, Type D with tail only one side and Type E with the very short interval between perforations. Among five types, Type Band C have higer frequency of distribution than the others. 3. The steepness of perforation plate measured was about 20 degree on pore zone and 43 degree on outside parts of pore zone. 4. Species with vestured pit were Q. aliena, Q, dentata, Q. variabilis, Fagus crenata var. multinervis, Castanopsis cuspidata var sieboldii, Q. acuta, Q. stenophylla, and Q. glauca. But the extent of vesturing was very slight and vestured pits were observed mainly in ray-vessel pit of some vessel elements. 5. Species with warty layer on the inner surface wall of all vessel elements were Q. acuta, Q. stenophylla, Q. glauca, Fagus crenata var. multinervis and species with warty layer of some vessel elements were Q. aliena, Q, dentata, Q. variabilis, Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii. 6. Species with palisade ray-vessel pit were Q. acuta, Q. stenophylla, Q. glauca, Castanea crenata, Castanea bungeana, Q. aliena, Q. serrata, Q. mongolica, and species with scalariform ray-vessel pit was Fagus crenata var. multinervis and species with oval ray-vessel pit were Q, dentata, Castanopsis cuspidata var sieboldii.

This experiment states the ultra pure distilled water penetration depth through ray parenchyma cell in radial direction of Castanea crenata. Heartwood penetration depth was 1.16 times lower than the depth in softwood and that difference was found statistically significant at 75.2 second of penetration. Following go-stop-go cycle, water penetrated in the ray parenchyma cell. At the beginning this speed was high and then it was decreased slowly. Water penetration depth result was compared with alcohol penetration depth. It was found that water penetration in ray parenchyma was found lower than alcohol due to the low surface tension of water.

This study was carried out to manufacture wooden vessels by small diameter wood and wasted wood of Castanea crenata Sieb. et Zucc, which has been largely planted in southern area. We made spice set, tea box set, cookie vessel set, bowl set and accessory set. With the development of edged tools, the human species has been able to fashion wood to change and enhance its environment - one only has to look at the history of all cultures to see examples of wooden artifacts and structures. Even with the development of synthetic materials and the progress of automated, mechanized production of wood and wood products, the raw material is still processed by traditional methods to meet a never-ending demand for products made from this most desirable natural material. Chestnut wood has high added value and natural color grain and is very useful for wooden vessel. Thinned low grade trees can be used to produce wooden vessel. Therefore this result can promote thinning and produce good forestation.

Inner nutshell of Castanea crenata has been used as an anti-aging and anti-wrinkle agent from the ancient time in east Asia. In order to develop new anti-aging and anti-wrinkle, ethanolic extract of inner nutshell of Castanea crenata was prepared and various biological activities were evaluated. Cor-285 possessed potent tree radical scavenging activity in vitro compared to gallic acid. Cor-285 showed the preventive effect against UV-induced cytotoxicity of fibroblast at concentration of 25-250mg/ml. When Cor-285 was evaluated for its anti-allergic activity, it effectively inhibited histamine release from mast cells induced by compound 48/80. The inhibitory activity was stronger than that of glycyrrhizinate. Cor-285 also showed on vivo inhibition against delayed hypersensitivity as well as croton-oil induced ear edema in mice when topically applied. These results strongly suggest that Cor-285 may reduce immunoregulatory/inflammatory skin trouble. From the attempts to isolate the scavenger, were isolated. In a clinical trial of twenty healthy volunteers with aged skin, 6 weeks application of Cor-285 decreased wrinkle about 26% and increased moisturizing 20% on the skin. All of these results indicate that Cor-285 may be an effective anti-aging and anti-wrinkle agent.

For unknown reasons, a few trees in a private chestnut orchard in Icheon si, Gyunggi-do suffered leaf chlorosis and growth decline. Based on symptoms, phytoplasma was a probable cause. Leaf samples were collected from two symptomatic and non-symptomatic trees in the orchard for phytoplasma detection. An amplicon of about 1.2 bp size was obtained from both symptomatic trees by PCR with the universal 16S rDNA primers. Sequences of these amplicons were found to have 99% nucleotide sequence identity to the corresponding genomic region of 16SrIII (X-disease group). More than 100 phytoplasma isolates, such as Candidatus phytoplasma pruni, Milkweed yellows phytoplasma, Goldenrod yellows phytoplasma, Tsuwabuki witches'-broom phytoplasma, Candidatus Phytoplasma trifolii, etc. were involved in the list. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the sequence obtained in this study closely clustered with Candidatus phytoplasma groups. While one of the amplicons shared 91% identity with the Candidatus phytoplasma castaneae, the other shared only 47%. It needs further analysis and investigation to determine the exact taxonomy. Meanwhile, based on the analysis of the sequences, chlorosis, and small leaves were associated with phytoplasma.
