감 과실(果實)의 탈삽기구(脫澁機構) 및 탄닌생성에 관한 조사의 일환으로 감엽(葉)의 탄닌함량의 변화 및 현미경적 관찰의 결과 삽시(澁枾)에서는 엽(葉)과 과실(果實)의 탄닌함량의 변화 경향이 유사하였으나, 감시(甘枾)에서는 많은 차이가 있었다. 엽(葉)의 탄닌함량 변화는 품종간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 엽(葉)의 상피세포(上皮細胞)는 과실(果實)의 탄닌세포와 같이 다량의 탄닌물질을 함유하고 있었으며 유관속(維管束) 부근에도 탄닌세포가 존재하였다. 사관부내(篩管部內)에는 탄닌물질이 이동하고 있었다. 이상의 결과 감엽(葉)의 탄닌물질과 과실(果實)의 탄닌물질은 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다.
As a series of study on the removal of astringency and production of tannin substances, this experiment was conducted to investigate changes of tannin contents and microscopic observation on leaves of persimmon(Diospyros kaki L.). Changes of tannin contents of leaves and fruits in Daegu Bansi(astringent variety) were of similar tendency in content of total and soluble tannin during growth. It seemed therefore that tannin contents of leaves in astringent variety were closely concerned with tannin of fruits. But Fuyu(sweet variety) was different from each other during its growth. Histological form of leaves in microscopic observation had similar tendency between astringent and sweet varieties. It was observed that tannin substances were contained in epidermis cells of levels, that tannin substances were transfered in phloems of nerves system, and that tannin cell existed too in the vicinity of nerves system.
