Abstract
Curdlan gel containing various hydrophobic materials was prepared. The homogenized suspension of curdlan and hydrophobic materials was healed at $100^{\circ}C$. The curdlan gel can contain hydrophobic material up to 27%(v/v). When gel was compressed, only water in the gel was removed. When immersed in water, the dried gel absorbed water and became the original wet gel. The syneresis of gel decreased with the concentration of hydrophobic material added. DHA content of dried gel was about 90%. $\beta$-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes containing DHA were prepared with addition of water and ethanol. X-ray diffractograms of complexes showed a specific peak at 7-$8^{\circ}C$ and FT-IR spectrum of complex showed a specific C=O peak at $1745\textrm{cm}^{-1}$. Inclusion complex containing DHA was microcapsulated with curdlan and pullulan.
소수성 결합을 가지는 커들란 겔의 특성을 이용하여 지용성물질을 포함한 겔을 제조할 수 있었고, 지용성물질의 종류에 따라 건조시킨 겔 속에 상당한 양이 포함되는데, DHA는 건조중량의 90%가지 포함될 수 있었다. 또한, $\beta$-CD의 포접특성을 이용하여 DHA를 포함시킬 때 포접체 형성에 대한 물과 에탄올의 영향을 살펴본 결과 물 2.0 mL과 에탄올 0.5 mL이 DHA 포접에 효과적이었다. FT-IR과 XRD로 포접체를 분석해 본 결과 DHA를 포함한 포접체가 형성되었고, SEM을 통하여 포접체와 커들란, 플루란을 이용하여 마이크로 캡슐의 형태를 살펴볼 수 있었다.
