Information on Acorn Composition?

[PP Nitz]

I am currently working on a Design Project involving
acorn processing (for food, and assorted other separable products).
	If anyone has information about the food content, or
chemical makeup of acorns (especially Red Oak [Rubra Quercus]),
or about acorn processing in general, I would *love* to hear what`
you can tell me.   References to published materials would also
be appreciated.
					Thank You,
