Studies were conducted to know effects of the bulking agents (saw dusts, mushroom waste, wheat bran coconut meal, rice hulls) adding o moisture control, fermentation methods (aerobic and anaerobic) and periods (1 to 20 days) of food waste fermentation for animal feeds on chemical compositions and in vitro DDM (digestibility of dry matter). Experiment designs were focussed basically to obtain extension service data. The NDF (neutral detergent fiber) composition in the oak and pine saw dust were 93.5% and 95.4% (DM basis) in respectively. Thus, the fermented food waste feeds using saw dust (50%) increased NDF(12%), and decreased in vitro DDM(48%) compared to those of raw materials before aerobic fermentation. The oak saw dust showed higher DDM compared to pine. Mushroom wastes which is a residues of mushroom culture mixed originally willow saw dust (80%) and wheat bran (20%) showed quite higher feed value compared to both saw dusts. It was found that an in vitro DDM and NDF composition in fermented feeds appeared highly dependent or the NDF composition in bulking agents. With an increase wheat bran ratio substitute mushroom waste showed linearly decreased NDF, and increased in vitro DDM in the fermented food waste feeds. The fermented feeds added bottling agents composed higher NDF resulted in higher NDF and lower in vitro DDM with prolonged fermentation time. The feeds from anaerobic fermentation appeared lower NDF and higher in vitro DDM compared to those of aerobic fermentation.

배 폐과를 효율적으로 활용하여 식품소재나 이를 이용한 기능성식품 개발을 위하여 배 품종별 생장시기에 따른 이화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 나주 지역에서 생산한 풍수, 신고, 추황 등 3품종을 시료로 하여 생장시기에 따라 배 무게의 증가를 관찰하였고 표면의 착색도는 Hunter 색차계로 L, a, b값을 측정하였으며 수분함량은 상압가열건조법으로 측정하였다. pH와 가용성 고형물은 각각 pH meter와 refractometer로, 총산은 적정법으로 측정하여 citric acid로 나타내었다. 총당은 phenol-황산법으로, 환원당의 함량은 DNS법으로 정량 하였고 총탄수화물의 함량과 전분의 함량은 산 가수 분해시킨 후 DNS법으로 측정하였다. 유기산과 유리당은 HPLC를 이용하여 정성, 정량 분석하였다. 풍수 과중의 증가는 거의 직선적으로 증가하였고 신고와 추황은 생장전기에는 급속히 증가하다가 후기에는 완만한 증가를 보였다. 풍수는 L, a, b값이 모두 약간의 증가를 보였고 신고와 추황은 a값이 각각 -1.80, 4.01에서 9.22, 9.70으로 증가하였으며 L, b값은 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 과피의 수분함량은 약 61%에서 79%로 증가하였고 과육의 수분함량은 76%에서 90%로 증가하였다. 풍수와 추황의 경우 과육의 수분함량은 생장초기에 이미 생장후기와 비슷한 수분함량 비율을 갖고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 3품종 모두 생장초기 총산의 함량은 수확시기의 함량보다 높았고 추황의 경우 성장이 진행됨에 따라 과피와 과육의 총산의 함량은 감소하다가 다시 약간의 증가 추세를 나타내었다. 유기산은 주로 tartaric acid, malic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid 그리고 shikimic acid가 검출되었고 수확시기에 3품종에서 모두 malic acid 함량이 가장 높았고 malic acid와 citric acid의 함량이 풍수와 신고에서는 약 0.3%, 추황은 0.4% 이상으로 나타났다. 또한 3품종 모두에서 총산과 같은 추세로 성숙기의 유기산의 함량이 생장초기의 함량보다 많이 감소되었음을 알 수 있었다. 배의 가용성 고형물은 전체적으로 과실의 성장이 진행됨에 따라 증가하는 추세를 나타내었다. 풍수와 신고 과피의 총당과 환원당은 거의 같은 추세로 증가하였고 성숙이 가까워지면서 환원당이 감소하였다. 배 과육의 총당과 환원당 또한 거의 같은 추세로 증가를 하다가 수확 전 20일 혹은 30일부터 총당의 함량은 계속 증가하지만 환원당의 함량은 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 배 과실의 전반 성장과정에 있어서 전분함량은 감소하였고 총탄수화물의 함량은 과육에서는 증가하나 과피에서는 반대로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 풍수의 전분함량은 최고 2.19%에서 0.23%로 감소하였고 신고에서는 0.43%로 추황에서는 0.48%로 감소하였다. 배 유리당은 fructose, glucose, sorbitol, sucrose 둥 4종류의 당이 검출되었고 3품종 모두에서 생장과정 중 비환원당인 sucrose 함량은 계속 증가하였고 fructose, glucose, sorbitol의 함량(추황의 sorbitol을 제외)은 생장이 촉진됨에 따라 증가하다가 다시 점차적으로 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 총당과 환원당의 측정결과와 일치한 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 배의 성장에 따라 산 함량은 감소하였고 당 함량은 증가하였다.

This study investigated the effects of dietary moisture level and storage temperature on lipid oxidation and fatty acids composition of the extruded pellet feed. The diets containing the moisture levels of 5%, 15% and 25% were prepared by adding moisture (water) to the commercial extruded pellets and stored at $5^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ (room temperature) and $35^{\circ}C$. The samples for analysis were collected at every 2 days for 10 days. Acid value (AV), peroxide value (POV), 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value and fatty acid composition of the feeds were measured. No differences in the AV, POV and TBA value were observed in feed containing 5% moisture at all storage temperatures for 10 days. However, the AV, POV and TBA value of diets containing 15% and 25% moisture increased rapidly at $20^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$ after 4 days. Fatty acids compositions of feeds containing 5% moisture did not change during the storage periods at $5^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. However, 5% moisture feed stored at $35^{\circ}C$ increased monoene fatty acid content and decreased the contents of polyene fatty acid, PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid)/SFA (saturated fatty acid) and $(C_{20:5}+C_{22:6})/C_{16:0}$ after 4 days. Also, 15% moisture feed stored at $35^{\circ}C$ showed increased monoene fatty acid content and decreased $(C_{20:5}+C_{22:6})/C_{16:0}$ after 2 days. The diet containing 25% moisture showed increased monoene fatty acid content and decreased contents of PUFA, PUFA/SFA and $(C_{20:5}+C_{22:6})/C_{16:0}$ at all temperatures after 2 days. In this study, lipid oxidation can occur in the extruded pellet feeds of 15% and 25% moisture at room temperature after 2 days.

An immobilization zone can be constructed by modifying soils in the vadose zone with surfactants, which can be used to promote retardation of organic contaminants in the subsurface. Column experiments were conducted to investigate the behavior of surfactants and organic contaminants in unsaturated and saturated conditions with different water contents (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Transport and sorption of surfactant (dialkylated disulfonated diphenyl oxide) in the columns containing aluminum oxide was similar under the conditions at different water contents. However, transport of a model organic compound (naphthalene) was retarded as the water content decreased by enhanced partitioning of the compound into the surfactants that were sorbed on the aluminum oxide. This suggests that the immobilization method could well be applied to vadose zone as well as to saturated zone.

The model foods similar to Korean typical foods were propared by combining moisture, protein and starch, and their thermal conductivities were investigated. Thermal conductivity of the model foods had a close relationship with food components such as moisture, protein and starch content. The interaction between the thermal conductivity and food components was not found. Thermal conductivity was proportionally increased as the moisture content increased, and thermal conductivity of starch food was lower than that of protein foods under the same level of moisture content of the model foods. The regression equation between thermal condutivity of the model foods. The regression equation between thermal conductivity of the model foods and moisture, protein and starch content at $20^{\circ}C$ was as follows; k = 0.00421M + 0.03152P + 0.05181. Correlation coefficient between calculated by above equation and measured values showed highly significant ($r=0.8418^{\ast}{\ast}$).

The extrusion-cooking method was used to make gelatinized rice extrudate from rice grits of the Chuchung and the Samgang varieties. The water contents of raw rice grits varied from 15% to 25%, and the physicochemical properties of extrudates were evaluated. Low moisture content showed high expansion ratio in rice extrudate and resulted in some decrease in gelatinization, bulk density and break strength. Increasing the water content to 25% resulted in increase in water absoption index but decrease in water solubility index. With regards to Brabender Amylograph values and rheological patterns, higher moisture content in raw materials revealed stronger pseudoplastic flow behavior with lower viscogram property. Hunter's color values of rice flours extruded at low water content were low in b values. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated the break-down of starch granules during extrusion.

Time-consuming experiments have been required in the development of neutron moisture gauge to induce a relation between the water content in soil and the neutron counts. Applying a monte carlo computer code to simulate the experiments of neutron moisture gauging may contribute to reduce time and efforts for experiments and produce a calibration equation which is more applicable to soil in general. In this study MCNP4A, a monte carlo computer code, was employed to simulate soil experiments and the simulated results were compared with experimental ones. The comparative study showed that MCNP4A is applicable to simulate the experiments and calibration equation can be obtained through simulations. Effects of dry density changes were also studied.

The milling characteristics of barley of various moisture content were investigated using Brabender Grain Hardness Tester (GHT) to set up the optimum conditions of dry milling process. The optimum GHT clearance were 1/0-1/10 for-10+12 mesh particles, 0/5-0/15 for-12+18 mesh, and 0/-15 for -18 mesh. The grain hardness of barley kernel increased with moisture content and the grindability, on the other hand, decreased. The consumed electric energy in milling increased with moisture content and showed the maximum value at the moisture content of 14.04%. The optimum conditions of dry milling of barley were 0/-5 GHT clearance and 12.80% moisture content and the consumed electric energy was 92.41Kwh for the production of 1,000kg of -18 mesh particles.

The moisture content of a coffee bean affects its permittivity, and changing the moisture content of a coffee bean changes the taste of the coffee. The variation in the moisture content of a coffee bean can be predicted by the change in frequency and reflection coefficient values with respect to the variation in the permittivity of the bean when it is placed on a patch antenna. In this study, a dual-band patch antenna is designed, which has a moisture measurement band of 3.8~4 GHz that can measure the moisture level of a material; the antenna has a Wi-Fi transmit and receive band of 2.45 GHz. Through simulations and measurements, this study proved that the level of return losses changed from 3.6 to 4 GHz when the moisture content of a coffee bean changed from 2 to 15%. The moisture levels of rice and other beans can be measured with the designed antenna, which can be applied to various applications.
