Chestnut trees have been used as a dyeing material, which are grow naturally, are cultivated all the area of Korea. So, there is abundant amount of the materials and they have better colorfastness than other natural dyeing materials. But chestnut husk extract is good at silk and wool fabrics, not cotton fabrics. That's why many methods using chestnut extraction for dyeing are being studied. But most of them depend on treatment method with chemical material which doesn't fit with the aim, using natural materials. Therefore in this research, we used protein pre-treatment method which is dyeing chestnut husk extract after treating at cotton fabrics with bean sap. And we studied the effect of dyeability of chestnut husk extract to cotton fabrics. As a result of pre-treatment of bean sap at cotton fabrics, dyeability was increased. Besides laundering fastness, dry cleaning fastness, perspiration fastness and light fastness were almost increased.

In this study, the gallic acid content of various varieties of chestnuts (Daebo, Okgwang, Chukpa, Samjosaeng) was investigated during the period between May 2018 to July 2019. A quantitative analysis was performed by HPLC using extracts of chestnut, inner skin, outer skin, branches, chestnut, male flower, and the male flower for each type of chestnut tree. Gallic acid was identified by dissolving standard gallic acid in water and analyzed three times in the concentration range of 100, 200, 250, and 500ppm. Linearity was confirmed by the peak area ratio at each concentration. Among the different chestnut varieties, the gallic acid content was highest at 0.0863% in Chukpa, followed by Daebo, Okgwang, and Samjosaeng. While comparing the average gallic acid content of each part of the chestnut tree, it was observed that the falling male flower had the highest content at 1.2100%, followed by chestnut leaves, chestnut pines, and branches. In a comparison of the inner skins, the Daebo variety had the highest gallic acid content at 0.7463% followed by Chukpa, Okgwang, and Samjosaeng. The outer skin of Samjosaeng had the highest content at 0.4918%, followed by Chukpa, Daebo, and Okgwang. The pines of the Samjosaeng chestnut had the highest content at 1.3035%, followed by Daebo, Chukpa, and Okgwang.
