Abstract

To extend shelf life of mulberry fruits, usually expensive freeze drying of freezing process is required. In this study an economic to multipurpose agricultural products dryers with mulberry dryer and technique was developed to reduce postharvest processing cost. Fuel and electricity consumption for drying were lowest when drying temperature was $60^{\circ}C$. And various drying conditions (fuel 3 hrs, heat 1 hr, room temperature air velocity 51 hrs) of the developed dryer were analyzed to improve drying performance. Dried mulberry fruits had dark brown color and marketable high quality explain the semi-dried characteristics.

본 연구는 장기 냉동저장 오디에 대해 현재 사용하고 있는 방법이 보관 및 유통비용 등이 커 농가에 부담이 되므로, 이에 고가 건조기를 대체할 수 있는 값이 저렴한 상용화된 다목적농산물건조기를 통한 건조기 개량 및 반건조기술을 개발하였다. 연료와 히터의 건조온도를 $60^{\circ}C$로 설정하고, 상온통풍은 상온보다 온도를 낮추어 건조시험 한 결과 연료 3시간, 히터 1시간, 상온통풍 51시간인 조건에서 다른 조건과 비교해서 연료소모 및 전기사용량 면에서 가장 양호하였고, 품질에 있어서도 다른 조건에 비해 현저히 끈기가 있는 반 건조 특성을 나타내었으며, 완료된 건조시료의 상태도 상품성이 뚜렷한 암갈색을 나타냈다. 경도(압축력)은 건조 전보다 건조 후에, 항온보다는 변온에서 높게 나타났다.
