게 껍질로부터 얻은 키틴을 탈아세틸화하여 키토산을 얻었으며, 얻어진 키토산의 유기용매에 대한 용해성을 향상시키기 위해 알칼리 조건에서 고압반응ㅇ기를 사용하여 프로필렌옥사이드와 반응시켜 치환율 3.5의 히드록시프로필 키토산을 합성하였다. 합성된 히드록시프로필 키토산은 고체상 CP/MAS 13C-NMR, 1H-NMR, FT-IR을 통해 반응이 키토산의 6번 탄소의 수산기와 2번 탄소의 아민기에 주로 일어났음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 X-선 회절분석을 통해 키토산의 결정성이 프로필렌옥사이드와의 반응에 의해 크게 감소하였음을 알 수 있었고, 그 결과 유기 용매에 대한 용해성이 현저히 증가되는 현상을 나타내었다. 한편, 히드록시프로필 키토산을 수상에 녹인 후 W/O 에멀젼상에 서 알칼리 촉매를 사용항 에피클로로히드린과 가교반응을 실시한 결과 내부가 비어있는 중공 마이크로비드를 얻을 수 있었다. 전자현미경을 통한 분석결과 중공 마이크로비드의 껍질의 내부에는 스킨층이 형성되어 있었으며, 외부 표면은 다공성이 높은 비대칭 막으로 되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Since it was reported that the unusual amino acid DOPA in synergy with lysine and histidine residues found in mussel adhesive proteins plays a pivotal role in mussel adhesion in underwater environments, there has been a burgeoning development of various catecholamines-based adhesives for biomedical applications. Among these, catechol-conjugated chitosan, containing catecholamine, featuring multiple catechol groups within its aminerich chitosan backbone, has found versatile utility in fields, such as tissue adhesion, wound dressing, tissue healing, hemostats, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds. Significantly, chitosan-catechol is a mussel-inspired material approved by both US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and KR Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) for its effectiveness in hemostasis. This review focuses on 1) general aspects of catechol-conjugated chitosan, highlighting catechol group integration into chitosan backbones, 2) examination of proposed mechanisms of hemostasis, and 3) exploration of diverse physical forms, including solution, hydrogels, patches, and thin films with practical applications inapplicable to hemostasis.

In accordance with the recent trend of environmentally friendly agricultural policy, product registration of agricultural chitosan among the organic materials has been displayed in various forms such as soil improving agent, crop growth, and pest control. Chitin production industry is expected to bring competitiveness by producing low-quality and low-cost chitin for agriculture, rather than high-quality and high-cost for food, medical products. Since there are various soil microorganisms that can decompose chitin and chitosan in farm soil where crops are produced, it can be applied usefully to agricultural sites suitably for crop growth and pest control using chitin and chitosan as substrates. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the registration status of organic materials companies using chitin and chitosan raw materials in the organic materials information system of the NAQS, and to provide an opportunity to further expand the agricultural use of domestic chitin and chitosan.

In order to manufacture the low salt and functional Kochujang, salt amount was reduced to 6% and chitosan was added to 0.25% to the Kochujang preparation. The contents of ash, moisture, crude fat and crude protein in Kochujang were not affected by the reduced salt concentration and chitosan addition. pH and titratable acidity were not significantly changed by the addition of chitosan. Ethanol content was higher in 6% salt Kochujang tan in 9% salt Kochujang and decreased by the addition of chitosan. Reducing sugar content was lower in 6% salt Kochujang than in 9% salt Kochujang and increased by chitosan addition. $\alpha$-Amylase activity was slightly inhibited by the addition of chitosan, however, $\beta$-amylase, acidic protease and neutral protease activities were not affected. Amino nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen contents were higher in 6% salt Kochujang than in 9% salt Kochujang, but ammonia nitrogen production was significantly decreased by chitosan addition. Also the growth of bacteria and yeasts were slightly inhibited by the addition of chitosan. From the above results we concluded that 0.25% chitosan was the good concentration to prepare the low salt and functional Kochujang.

In order to improve the quality of traditional kochujang, submaterials like sea tangle and chitosan were added to kochujang and their effects on microbial characteristics, enzyme activities and physicochemical characteristics were investigated for 24 weeks of fermentation. The activities of $\alpha$,$\beta$-amylase in kochujmg were higher in sea tangle added at 2% level and chitosan added at 0.1% level. However, acidic protease activity decreased as the ratio of submaterials increased. Viable cells of yeasts in the kochujang increased rapidly for 4~8 weeks of fermentation, and bacterial counts decreased in submaterials added groups. Moisture contents of kochujang increased until 12 weeks of fermentation, but water activity decreased. As the ratio of sea tangle increased, water activity decreased. Consistency of kochujang increased after middle of fermentation, and they increased remarkably by addition of sea tangle. The degree of increase in total color difference ($\Delta$E) of sea tangle added group was lowest. The titratable acidity of kochujang decreased after 4 weeks, and they changed a little by addition of chitosan. Amino nitrogen contents of kochujang increased as mixing ratio of submaterials increased in the late period of aging. Ammonia nitrogen contents was lower in chitosan added kochujang at 24 week of fermentation. Reducing sugar contents of kochujang increased rapidly for 4~8 weeks of fermentation, and they increased as the ratio of chitosan increased. Ethanol contents of kochujang increased until 12~16 weeks of fermentation, with lower values in sea tangle added group. After 24 weeks of fermentation, the result of sensory evaluation showed that 0.1% chitosan added kochujang were more acceptable than sea tangle added kochujang in the taste, color and overall acceptability.all acceptability.

In this study, the effects of low molecular weight chitooligosaccharides were assessed. Low molecular weight chitooligosaccharide evidenced no cytotoxicity in in vitro trials with the normal cell line, Vero E6(Africa green monkey kidney cell). The $IC_{50}$ of low molecular weight chitooligosaccharide was $923.20{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. Low molecular weight chitooligosaccharide exhibited in vitro antineoplastic activity in five human tumor(lung carcinoma, bladder carcinoma, colon carcinoma, stomach carcinoma, breast carcinoma) cell lines. The $IC_{50}$ values of low molecular weight chitooligosaccharide on A549, J82, SNU-C4, SNU-1 and ZR75-1 were $477.42{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $480.40{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $436.84{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $373.55{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, and $539.95{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, respectively.
