This study was intended to observe possibility of which radiation technique can be used for oligopeptide production from pigskin collagen to reduce environmental pollution in processing and simplify the processing steps. Raw pigskin was ground using chopper, and then defatted in acetone cooled at $-20^{\circ}C$ freezer. Defatted dried pigskin was irradiated at 20, 40, 60, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 kGy using Co-60 gamma rays irradiator. With irradiation doses, the amount of soluble proteins increased, and the viscosity and turbidity of soluble proteins decreased, which could be clue of that irradiation degrade high molecular proteins directly. pH of soluble proteins from defatted pigskin increased in the sample above 150 kGy, and low molecular weight components (below 24 kDa) in SDS-PAGE increased. From gel permeation chromatography of the hydrolysates of pigskin irradiated at 300 kGy showed the major peak of 9,000, 8,200, 860, and 170 Da.

The relationship between the possible structural change due to chemical modifications and functionality changes was studied in pigskin collagen. Amino groups in collagen were modified by succinylation and reductive alkylation. Carboxyl groups were modified using carbodiimide. Thermal denaturation temperature of collagen increased remarkably by carboxyl groups modification whereas decreased by succinylation and reductive alkylation. Emulsifying capacity was improved by reductive alkylation and carboxyl groups modification while emulsion stability was improved by succinylation. Chemical modifications increased solubility whereas decreased the foaming capacity of collagen. Viscosity of collagen at various pH varied with methods of modification.

Bovine hide and pig skin gelatins were prepared and their molecular weight profiles were examined by SDS-PAGE. The major molecular weights of bovine hide gelatin were 220 kDa, 140kDa, and 130kDa and the weights of pigskin gelatin were 210 kDa, 135kDa and 120kDa. Also , as a typical parameter of rheological property of the gelatin , viscosities of gelatin were measured under various conditions. Gelatin hydrolysates were prepared using typical commerical proteases and their angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activities were examined.

In order to examine the appropriateness of types of pigskin as a raw material for gelatin production, comparison was made on the quality of gelatins made from raw and scalded pigskins. Raw and scalded pigskins were acidified in 1.7% HCl solution for 15-18 hr and then washed by tap water for 10 hr. After washing, pigskins were extracted at $60^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$ to produce gelatins. Gelatins from raw pigskins appeared to be better in gel strength than those from scalded ones at all extraction temperatures. Gelatin yield was higher with raw than with scalded pigskins. With the increase of extraction temperature, the decrease in gel strength and viscosity was resulted in. More colored gelatins were produced with increasing extraction temperature in both raw materials. Electrophoretic pattern of gelatins showed that higher molecular weight fractions decreased with the increase of extraction temperature and pigskin gelatin had more complicated molecular composition than that of type B gelatin (alkali-treated gelatin).

In case of leather objects, degradation usually occurs by a combination of factors such as temperature and relative humidity, light and insect and fungi. Because chemical composition differs on the types of leather materials, leather objects affect differently even in the same environment. According to UV degradation, the overall color and gloss difference appeared severe in turn of the cowskin, sheepskin and pigskin specimens. In addition, despite short-term period of RH degradation, leather materials showed stable result on high RH circumstances. Nevertheless, if the leather sustained for a long time on the high RH, the environment can be the cause of mold or microorganisms. This study is to understand the leather objects and the future conservation and then to establish the conservational management of leather object for the future.
