The ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory and antioxidant effects of water chestnut (Trapa japonica Flerov.) were assessed to explore its possible use as an anti-diabetic agent. Methanol extracts of the fruit shell and meat of water chestnut were assayed for inhibitory activity against yeast ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Effect of fruit shell extract on postprandial glucose response was assessed. Compared with fruit meat, shell extract showed stronger inhibition against ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ with an $IC_{50}$ of 273 ${\mu}g/mL$. Oral administration of fruit shell extract (500 mg/kg) significantly lowered the postprandial area under the glucose response curve to starch (1 g/kg) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats (p<0.01). Compared with fruit meat, shell extract showed stronger scavenging activity against DPPH, with an $IC_{50}$ of 27.1 ${\mu}g/mL$. The results indicate that the fruit shell of water chestnut was effective in controlling postprandial hyperglycemia and exerted an antioxidant effect. Therefore, water chestnut may be useful in treating diabetes.

To increase dyeability of cotton fabric to the chestnut shell dyeing, we had several dyeing experiments with the experimental fabrics which was pre-treated by soybean, NaOH, KOH. Three kinds of experimental cotton fabrics were used and chestnut shell dyebath was made for the experiment. Munsell's color HV/C and color differences ΔE of dyeing fabrics were compared between pre-treatment and none pre-treatment dyeing fabrics. The main results were as follows ; Color differences of dyeing fabrics pre-treated with soybean, NaOH, KOH were higher than those of none pre-treated dyeing fabrics. In case of pre-treatment with soybean, the concentration of the soybean bath affected the color differences but not affected in case of pre-treatment with NaOH & KOH. Munsell's color of pre-treatment fabrics with soybean, NaOH, KOH were same with the none pre-treatment fabrics. Colorfastness of the pre-treated fabrics were same degree, but only in case of soybean pre-treated fabrics were low in fastness of washing(change) & perspiration(acidic change).

본 연구는 밤묵의 개발가능성을 제시하고자 밤을 이용한 밤묵을 제조하여 그 품질을 기존의 도토리묵과 비교, 검토하였다. 탄닌의 함량은 밤전분에 비하여 도토리전분의 함량이 4배 정도 높았다. 묵의 견고성은 농도가 높아질수록 증가하였으며, 밤묵이 도토리묵보다 더 단단한 것으로 나타났다. 응집성도 밤묵이 도토리묵보다 높게 나타나 분자간의 결합력이 큰것으로 나타났다. 격자 구조를 갖는 내피가 가장 높은 견고성을 보였고, 격자구조가 조금 무너진 외피, 과육으로 만든 묵의 순으로 낮은 값을 보였고 도토리가 가장 파괴된 구조를 보였다. 색도는 외피를 포함한 밤묵이 도토리묵에 가장 가까운 것으로 나타났다. 관능검사결과 모든 항목에서 내피를 포함한 밤묵이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 그 다음이 도토리, 과육, 외피의 순이었고, 농도가 높을수록 더 높은 기호도를 보였지만 도토리묵은 8%가 가장 선호되었다.

본 연구는 밤가공 과정에서 폐기물로 나오는 밤껍질에서 분리한 밤 가루의 이화학적 특성을 규명하고, 식품 자원으로의 이용가능성을 검토해보고자 빵, 국수, 묵 등 식품을 제조하여 기호성과 관능검사를 실시하였다. 밤 가루의 물결합능력은 순수한 밤에서 분리한 것보다 껍질에서 분리한 것이 약 40%정도 높았으며 요드반응은 유사한 상태를 보였으며 amylose 분해한도는 밤 껍질에서 분리한 밤가루가 약 8.0%높았다. 밤 가루로 만든 빵, 국수, 묵 등은 냄새, 경도, 탄력성, 응집성, 부착성, 씹힘성, 검성 등에서 밀가루나 도토리로 만든 것과 유의적 차이가 없었다.

본 연구는 율피분말을 제빵에 효과적으로 활용하기 위한 방안으로 율피분말 및 압출성형 공정변수를 달리한 율피분말 6%를 첨가하여 반죽의 물성과 식빵의 품질특성을 조사하였다. 율피의 압출성형 공정변수는 수분함량 25%와 30%, 용융물 온도는 110, 130, $150^{\circ}C$로 조절하였다. 총 식이섬유 함량은 압출성형 율피분말에서 약간 증가하였으며, 총 폴리페놀 함량은 율피분말이 869.09 mg인데 비하여 수분함량 25%, 용융물 온도 $150^{\circ}C$에서 1,397.17 mg까지 증가하였다. 패리노그램에서, 반죽의 흡수율은 대조군과 율피분말에 비해 압출성형 공정변수 수분함량 25%와 수분함량 30%의 실험군에서 유의적인 증가를 보였다(p<0.05). 2시간 및 3시간 이후의 발효팽창력은 수분함량 25%의 용융물 온도 $150^{\circ}C$와 수분함량 30%의 용융물 온도 $150^{\circ}C$에서 대조군과 비슷한 경향을 나타내었다. 비용적은 대조군이 $3.74{\pm}0.08cc/g$으로 가장 높았으며, 율피분말에 비하여 압출성형율피분말 실험군이 높게 관측되었다(p<0.05). 1일 경과 후의 경도는 수분함량 25%의 용융물 온도 $150^{\circ}C$에서 $113.33{\pm}6.17g$으로 대조군의 $107.42{\pm}14.52g$과 비슷하였다. 이상의 결과로 수분함량 25%의 용융물 온도 $150^{\circ}C$ 및 수분함량 30%의 용융물 온도 $130^{\circ}C$에서 반죽의 물성과 식빵의 품질특성이 전반적으로 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 부재료의 첨가에도 불구하고 압출성형 율피분말 전분의 호화 및 식이섬유소의 수분흡수력이 반죽의 물성과 식빵의 품질특성에 영향을 준 것으로 보인다.

The chestnut is a well-blown and important forest product in Korea. The annual production of chestnut is about 95,000 tons and its cultivating area is 80,000 ha. However, the peeling process of outer and inner skins of chestnut is very difficult due to hardness and adhesiveness of chestnut skin. The purpose of this study was to develop a prediction model for flame peeling characteristics of domestic chestnuts, and to evaluate an optimization model to determine the operation conditions of the chestnut flame peeling system. The results of this study were summarized as follows. It was found that the flame peeling characteristics of domestic chestnuts were by the flame temperature, and the flame time. The peeling ratio and the heating depth were increased as the flame temperature and the flame time were increased. The peeling ratio and the heating depth were increased linearly when those were less than 85 % and 2 mm respectively. As the hardness of chestnut shell was decreased, the peeling ratio was increased. A simulation model was developed to predict the peeling ratio and the heating depth based on the hardness of the chestnut shell, the flame temperature, and the flame time of the peeling system. The model was evaluated by comparing the measurement and the prediction of the peeling ratios and heating depths, and showed the good relationship.

본 연구에서는 농산물의 부산물로 다량 폐기되고 있는 생물질재료 중 건조 밤껍질과, 포르말린 처리한 밤껍질, 인산화 처리한 밤껍질을 이용하여 pH 변화에 따른 중금속 흡착상태를 실험하였다. $Cd^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Cr^{6+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Pb^{2+}$중금속 등에 대한 시간의 영향은 $Mn^{2+}$은 5분 경과 후, $Cd^{2+}$와 $Cr^{6+}$-는 10분 경과 후, $Fe^{2+}와 Cu^{2+}$는 20분 경과 후에 약간의 흡착 경향성을 보였고, $Fe_{2+}$는 5분 경과 후 계속 흡착이 증가하는 것을 보였다. $Cd^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Cr^{6+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Pb^{2+}$중금속 등에 대한 pH의 영향은 $Cr_{6+}$인 경우 pH 2의 범위에서 가장 높은 흡착 결과를 보였으며, 나머지 중금속 이온의 겸우 pH 7.0~9.0에서 높은 흡착 경향성을 보였다. 밤껍질에 의한 중금속 이온의 제거율은 pH 7.0-9.0 에서 $\Fe^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Pb^{2+}$ 들은 70% 이상을, 포르말린 처리한 밤껍질의 경우 $\Fe^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Pb^{2+}$들은 50% 이상을, 인산화 처리한 밤껍질의 경우 $Cd^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Pb^{2+}$들은 60% 이상을 보인 것으로 보아 밤껍질을 포르말린과 인산화 처리한 경우 중금속 이용이 제거율 향상에는 큰 효과가 나타나지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

Obesity occurred by energy imbalance, is increasing regardless of race, sex, age, and related to the metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Since adipose tissue plays a critical role in regulating energy homeostasis, understanding of adipogenesis pathway and finding of regulatory mechanism for adipogenesis can be helpful to manage obesity as well as obesity-related diseases. In this study, to investigate the effects of Chestnut Inner Shell(CIS) extract on the adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated with adipogenic reagents for 9 days in the absence or presence of CIS extract ranging from 10 - 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The effect of CIS extract on 3T3-L1 differentiation was examined by measuring intracelluar lipid droplet and triglyceride contents. CIS extract remarkably inhibited lipid accumulation(about 45% inhibition at 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of CIS extract) and slightly decreased triglyceride contents(about 15% decrease at 100 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of CIS extract) in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes at the concentration showing no cytotoxicity. These results demonstrated that CIS extract significantly inhibit adipogenesis and can be used for the regulation of obesity.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is gaining attention as a carbon-neutral alternative to plant cellulose, and as a means to prevent deforestation and achieve a carbon-neutral society. However, the high cost of fermentation media for BC production is a barrier to its industrialization. In this study, chestnut shell (CS) hydrolysates were used as a carbon source for the BC-producing bacteria strain, Gluconacetobacter xylinus ATCC 53524. To evaluate the suitability of the CS hydrolysates, major inhibitors in the hydrolysates were analyzed, and BC production was profiled during fermentation. CS hydrolysates (40 g glucose/l) contained 1.9 g/l acetic acid when applied directly to the main medium. As a result, the BC concentration at 96 h using the control group and CS hydrolysates was 12.5 g/l and 16.7 g/l, respectively (1.3-fold improved). In addition, the surface morphology of BC derived from CS hydrolysates revealed more densely packed nanofibrils than the control group. In the microbial BC production using CS, the hydrolysate had no inhibitory effect during fermentation, suggesting it is a suitable feedstock for a sustainable and eco-friendly biorefinery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to valorize CS by utilizing it in BC production.
