Studies on the Utilization of Acorn Starch -Part I. Properties of Acorn Starch-

도토리 녹말의 이용에 관한 연구 -제 1 보 도토리 녹말의특성-

Acorn starch preparation and some of its characteric study were made. The results obtained were as follows. 1) Yearly production of acorn in Korea is amounted to be 1,200,000 l approximately. The content of its carbohydrate was found to be 72.8%, so that this would be considered as one of good resources of starch in our country. 2) The major moieties of tannin constituents of acorn were found to be the gallic acid, catechin and chlorogenic acid. 3) The type of acorn starch granules were short oval shaped having the diameters of that were in the range of $3.5{\sim}5.2{\mu}$ and $8.0{\sim}19.5{\mu}$, respectively. 4) Initial gelatinifalion teniperaiure of acorn starch was $62{\sim}64^{\circ}C$, similar to those of corn and wheat starch. 5) Alnylose content of acorn starch were 27.1%, which is lower than that of barley but higher than that of potato starch. 6) The raising power of the acorn starch was 12.4, which is higher than that of the potato starch but lower than those of common cereal starches. 7) The blue value of acorn starch was 0.43, similar to that of wheat starch and higher than those of wheat potato and rice starch but lower than that of barley starch. 8) The alkali number of the acorn starch was 11.03, similar to that of corn starch but higher than those of barley and rice starch.

도토리를 식량자원으로 활용하기 위하여 생산량녹말제조 및 도토리 녹말의 각종 특성을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 도토리는 당질 72.8%함유한 종실로서 연간 l,200,000 l 이상이 생산되어 새로운 녹말자원이 될 수 있을 것같다. 2) 도토리의 타닌성분은 gallic acid, catechin chlorogenic acid 등의 세 성분이 확인되었고 gallocatechin의 한 성분으로 추정되었다. 3) 도토리 녹말의 모양은 계란형으로 그 직경은 $3.5{\sim}5.2{\mu}$ 에서 $8.0{\sim}19.5{\mu}$이였다. 4) 호화온도는 $62{\sim}64^{\circ}C$은 쌀녹말과 같고 옥수수 녹말(86.2)이나 밀녹말(87.3)보다 낮다. 5) Amylose 함량은 27.1%로 이것은 보리$(28.5{\sim}29.4)$보다 낮고 감자(26.0)보다 높다. 6) 팽창력은 12.4로 감자녹말(10.5)보다 높고 일반 곡물녹말보다 낮다. 7) Blue value는 0.43으로 밀녹말(0.41)과 비슷하고 고구마(3.5) 쌀녹말$(0.06{\sim}0.39)$ 보다 높고 보리(0.51)보다 낮은 값이다. 8) Alkali number는 11.03으로 옥수수녹말$(10.0{\sim}12.1)$과 같고 보리(6.78)와 발$(4.8{\sim}7.1)$보다 높다.
