Chitosan is derived from chitin by deacetylation in the presence of alkali, which is a copolymer consisting of $\beta$-(1longrightarrow4)-2-acetamido-D-glucose and $\beta$-(1longrightarrow4)-2-amino-D-glucose units with the latter usually exceeding 80% (Arvanitoyannis et al., 1998). Chitosan has been developed as new physiological material since it possesses antibacterial activity, hypocholesterolemic activity and antihypertensive action. However, even though chitosan has very strong functional properties in many areas, its high molecular weight and high viscosity may restrict the use in vivo. In addition, there is little doubt that such properties will influence absorption in the human intestine. Recently, studies on chitosan have attracted interest for converted chitosan to oligosaccharide, because the oligosaccharide possesses not only water-soluble property but also versatile functional properties such as antitumor activity, immune-enhancing effects, enhancement of protective effects against infection with some pathogens in mice, antifungal activity, calcium absorption accelerating effect (Jeon et al., 1999) and antimicrobial activity. There is, however, little information on the toxicity of chitosan oligosaccharide. (omitted)

Deacetylated chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) had effective antiprotozoal activity against Trichomonas vaginalis (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration, MIC 0.25%), whereas 80% acetylated cas showed no antiprotozoal activity (MIC > 1 %). an the other hand, 80% acetylated cas showed growth stimulatory activity against the protozoa. When T. vaginalis was treated with 98% deacetylated COS at 0.25% concentration, the viability of the protozoa was rapidly decreased within 15 min, and the protozoa completely died within 40 min. Ultrastructural changes of trichomonads treated with COS included a loss of defined nuclear membrane and endoplasmic reticulum membranes, an increase in the number of free ribosome, vacuolation, and ultimately lysis of the cell membrane. These results indicate that deacetylated COS can be used as an antitrichomonal agent, although its lethal mechanism is not known.

본 연구는 키토산올리고당의 음수 내 급여가 따른 육계의 혈액성상, 면역력 및 항산화효소계에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 1일령 Arbor Acre종 약 2만 8천수를 대조구와 키토산 음수 급여구로 나누어 5주 동안 실시하였다. 육계의 혈액 성상에서 Glucose의 농도는 대조구보다 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구가 유의적으로 감소하였으나, Triglyceride, Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol 및 LDL-cholesterol 농도에는 대조구와 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구간에 차이를 보이지 않았고 간 손상에 대한 인자인 GOT농도는 시험구간에 차이가 없었지만 GPT농도는 대조구보다 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구가 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). 혈액 내 면역글로블린 농도 중, IgG 농도는 대조구와 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구간에 차이가 없었으나, IgM 농도는 대조구보다 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구가 유의적으로 증가하였다(P<0.05). 항산화력과 SOD의 농도는 시험구간에 차이가 없었으며, Catalase와 Glutathione peroxidase의 농도는 대조구보다 키토산올리고당 음수 급여구가 유의적으로 증가하였다(P<0.05). 따라서, 키토올리고당의 음수 급여로 인해 육계의 당대사, 면역기능 및 1차 항산화 효소계의 활성을 증가시켜 육계의 강건성에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 보여주었다.

키틴의 탈아세틸화로 얻어지는 화합물인 키토산과 키토올리고당은 다양한 생리활성 기능을 나타내므로 생물의학적인 응용에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구는 키토올리고당과 수용성 키토산의 열처리 후 올리고당 함량의 변화와 어린이 바이러스성 설사를 유발하는 HRV(human rotavirus)의 MA-104 세포감염에 억제작용을 나타내는지 확인하기 위하여 수행하였다. 그 결과 열처리 후 비색법으로 측정한 올리고당의 함량은 수용성키토산의 경우 62.67 %에서 60.45%로 약 2%정도, 키토올리고당은 59.48%에서 54.31%로 약 5%정도 감소하였다. 키토산 유래물질의 항로타바이러스성 탐색은 AEC staining으로 측정하였으며, 수용성키토산은 농도 0.125% 이상에서 HRV S2의 세포감염에 있어 90% 이상의 감염 억제효과가 있었으며, HRV Wa의 경우 89% 이상의 억제효과가 있었다. 키토올리고당은 HRV의 세포감염에 억제효과가 없었다. 열처리한 시료의 경우, 수용성 키토산과 키토올리고당 모두 열처리가 HRV의 감염 억제에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 중합도가 높은 수용성키토산은 열처리를 거치는 식품에 첨가하여도 그 기능이 크게 감소하지 않으므로 향후 식품첨가물로서 이용가능성이 클 것으로 사료된다.

Since the number of amino groups which are exposed by deacetylation of acetyl-D-glucosamine influences antimicrobial activity, a chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) derivative by N-conjugation of COS with asparagine, an amino acid with two amino groups, was synthesized and the antimicrobial effect on E. coli growth was compared with other COS derivatives which were N-conjugated with glycine, alanine, aspartic acid, cysteins, an methionine, and unmodified COS. The structure of asparagine N-conjugated COS (Asn-COS) derivative was identified by using a FT-IR, $^{13}C\;FT-NMR$, and an elemental analyzer. The antimicrobial activity of Asn-COS against E. coli growth was significantly improved as compared to the other COS derivatives as well as COS itself. This means that Asn-COS with two positive charges strongly interacts with the carboxyl negative charges on the bacteria cell wall. The results for Asn-COS were as follows: 100% bactericidal activity, 0.002% MIC, and no growth of E. coli during 3 days of culture time, suggesting that Asn-COS may be useful as a new antibiotic agent.

Diaper rash is found on the skin inside of babys diaper area. Most diaper rashes are caused by prolonged contact with the moisture, germs, and ammonia of the stool and urine. Some diaper rashes are caused by fungi infection such as candida albicans and Preteus vulgaris. In this study, Candida albicans was used as a test microorganism and experiment was carried out to inhibit diaper rash. Handsheets were treated with chitosan oligosaccharide, bamboo extractives, as well as mixture of monolaurin as an emulsifier and bamboo extractives. Both shake flask method and halo test were applied in order to examine the antimicrobial activity of each sample. It was found from both results of the halo test and shake flask method that handsheets treated with chitisan oligosaccharide or bamboo extractives showed antimicrobial property. In the treatment of bamboo extractives without emulsifier, no distinct difference in antimicrobial effect was found between bamboo branch and bamboo leaves extractives. In case of mixture of bamboo extractives and emulsifier, the result also suggested that bamboo branch showed better syngergistic effect than bamboo leaves. Both chitosan oligosaccharide and bamboo extractive can be used as antifungal agents against Candida albicans for making diaper.

Textural properties of tofu manufactured with micronized full-fat soyflour (MFS) were enhanced by the addition of soy protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, chitosan oligosaccharide and mushroom powder. The MFS solution (14.2% solid content) was converted to semi-solid tofu by a two-stage heat treatment with the addition of 4% coagulant mix. The MFS tofu was evaluated by a compression test as well as sensory evaluation. To produce the semi-solid gel (MFS tofu) with reasonably high strength and toughness, the MFS solution with 14.2% solid content and 7.0% protein had to be heat treated at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 3min. The relative toughness of MFS tofu was increased by the addition of SPI, showing a 144% increase. The toughness of MFS tofu prepared with the MFS/SPI mixture was greatly increased by the addition of WPC at the level of 0.7% and the water separation from MFS tofu was greatly reduced. Furthermore, the toughness and strength of MFS/SPI tofu was enhanced by the addition of 0.1% chitosan oligosaccharide and 0.2% mushroom powder. The sensory evaluation of the tofu fortified with SPI, chitosan oligosaccharide and mushroom powder was superior to that of MFS tofu, with a higher score for overall preference.

Chitosan has a wide range of applications in biomedical materials as well as in dietary supplements. Chitosan oligosaccharide with free-amine group (COFa) is an improvement over traditional chitosan that lacks the usual impurities and materials detrimental to the body. Based on a previous study of water soluble chitosan (WSC, chitosan lactate), we investigated the molecular weight (Mw) - dependent absorption phenomena of COFa in vitro and in vivo with various Mws. The absorption of CO Fa was significantly influenced by its molecular weight. As Mw increases, the absorption decreases. The absorption profiles for 5 K COFa (Mw=5 kDa) were observed to be more than 10 times higher than those of high molecular weight chitosan (100 K HWSC Mw=100 kDa) in both in vitro and in vivo transport experiments. Furthermore, the in vitro transport experiment suggested that transcellular transport of the COFa (Mw <10 kDa) through Caco-2 cell layer could occur with a negligible cytotoxic effect. The COFas showed a cytotoxic effect on Caco-2 cells that was dependent on dose and Mw. COFa could be transported transcellularly through the Caco-2 cell layer.
