Opuntia ficus-indica and Aloe vera slices were dried using 20, 30, and 40% polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4,000 as a dehydration agent, and the dried samples were compared with the hot-air dried and freeze dried in terms of rehydration ratio, color, and sensory evaluation. The moisture content of the PEG-treated samples decreased with increasing concentrations of polyethylene glycol. The rehydration ratio of the PEG-treated samples was better than those of the hot air-dried or freeze-dried samples. The color of the PEG-treated samples was similar to that of the freeze-dried samples and better than that of the hot air-dried samples. The sensory evaluation of PEG-treated samples was better than those of the hot air-dried or freeze-dried samples. These results suggest that dehydration of Opuntia ficus-indica and Aloe vera slices using PEG is very effective in terms of rehydration ratio and minimal damage of cell structure.

The analysis results of the temperature distribution and deformation at the PV cell with a thickness of $200{\mu}m$ according to hot-air temperature at the soldering process of a PV cell and ribbon tend to agree somewhat with the experimental measured values. The best result of the electrical efficiency appears in the module soldered at a hot-air temperature of $390^{\circ}C$. An analysis of the soldering PV cell with a thickness of $150{\mu}m$ at a hot-air temperature of $350^{\circ}C$ confirmed that the maximum deformation was approximately 5.9mm. As the temperature of hot air is set to decrease, the deformation is reduced and it is predicted that the electrical efficiency can be improved.

The absorption characteristics of Korean yam powder according to different drying methods were investigated. The physical properties of yam powder by different drying methods were showed the biggest porosity in freeze drying sample, while the smallest in hot air drying sample. No difference was founded in proximate compositions of yam powder by various drying methods. The amount of total phenolic compound and Vit C were showed the bigger decrement in freeze dried sample than other drying methods. The time reaching to equilibrium moisture content were determined in 12 days. Monolayer moisture contents were predicted to 0.0508∼0.0588 by BET equation and 0.0705∼0.0811 g H2O/g solid by GAB equation. BET equation for isothermal absorption curve showed over 0.95 R-square for every drying methods. GAB equation showed over 0.99 in vacuum and freeze drying but a poor R-square in hot air drying.

This study investigated changes in physicochemical properties of onion powders during various drying conditions. The moisture content during vacuum drying at $40^{\circ}C$ remained at 5.23% for 5 days of drying, and it was possible to quickly obtain day powder Weight reduction upon $-70^{\circ}C$ vacuum drying was 90% after 7 days. The large change in browning caused by vacuum freeze drying was lowest ($OD_{420}\;of\;1.173$) after 7 days of drying. The content of vitamin C increased with vacuum freeze drying. The major free sugars were fructose, glucose and sucrose. Of organic acids, citric acid was prominent and, after vacuum freeze drying, showed a high value of 1,965 mg/100g. Free amino acids noted were L-arginine, ${\beta}-alanine$, L-alanine and L-threonine. In summary, vacuum freeze drying at $-70^{\circ}C$ is optimal.

The objectives of this study was to investigate the improvement of thermal kinetics for disposal of sewage sludge using thermal wind drying. The operational parameters varied are the temperature of $130{\sim}170^{\circ}C$ and evaporation velocity WD. Important parameters effect on thermal kinetics for evaporation of water in sewage sludge studied include the drying time, water content of sewage sludge, solids amount of sewage sludge(TS%) by the varied temperature. The saturation point of water evaporation was observed at the drying time of 60 min in conditions of drying temperature $170^{\circ}C$ and drying time of 120 min by drying temperature $130^{\circ}C$ and WD=0.95 m/s. Operation at drying temperature of $170^{\circ}C$ led to higher rate of evaporation than those 130, $150^{\circ}C$ at WD=1.0 m/s and WD=1.0 m/s was higher than WD=0.5 m/s at drying temperature of $130^{\circ}C$.

Antioxidant activity of wa-song (Orostachys japonicus A. Berger) was analyzed to clarify the influence of extractive solvent and drying method such as sun, hot-air and freeze drying. The contents of total phenols and flavonoids were significantly higher in 95% ethanol extracts than water extracts. Ability of reducing power and DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical and nitrite scavenging ability were higher in the order of hot-air dried sample> freeze dried sample> sun dried sample and these abilities were also higher in 95% ethanol extracts than water extracts. In conclusion, antioxidant activities of wa-song extracts were in proportion to the contents of total phenols and flavonoids. Also, hot-air drying is the superior method for the enhancement of antioxidant activity of wa-song.

Recently, biodegradable polymers are gaining more and more attention due to international environmental issues. Succinic acid is synthesised by chemical process of hydrogenation. Succinic acid synthesized has certain amount water content. To remove the water contained in succinic acid is used generally by hot air drying process. But recently, microwave drying process having the advantage of shortening the drying time and uniform drying of product are gaining more attention. In this study, hot air drying and microwave drying efficiency were compared at drying process. In addition, we confirmed commercial applicability in microwave drying process of succinic acid. Microwave drying process has higher efficiency than 70% compared with hot air drying process at thickness of 1cm. Economic efficiency were compared through examination of power consumption for complete drying of succinic acid at microwave and hot air dyring.

In this study, the quality changes of Hoelen was investigated, which were color differences, browning degrees, total phenolic compounds and electron donating abilities to optimize drying condition using hot air and far infrared drying by changing conditions such as temperatures, air velocities and radiation distances. In color values, ${\Delta}b\;value$ decreased with increasing temperatures, while ${\Delta}L$, ${\Delta}a$ and ${\Delta}E\;value$ increased. The browning degrees showed the similar tendency with the color values. Total phenolic components of Hoelen decreased with increasing drying temperature and air velocity, and decreasing radiation distance. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the changes of electron donating abilities (EDA) of Hoelen among drying methods and conditions. As a result, the hot air drying was more effective method than the far infrared was.

The wet soybean residue, a byproduct of soymilk industry having potential food value has been tried to dehydrate for the purpose of storage. The total solid of the byproduct was composed of 28.9% protein, 13.6% fat, 4.4% ash and 53.0% carbohydrates. The original water content of 593%(dry-weight basis) was reduced to 378% by pressing mechanically. The sufficient pressure and time for the pressing were found to be 0.5M/T and 5minutes, respectively. The partially dehydrated soybean residue was formed into pellets of 3mm in diameter and 10mm in length. By applying hot air on the thin layer of pellets the moisture could be further reduced to the level of 10% which is equivalent to that of the commercial wheat flour. No significant color deterioration in the product was observed if the hot air dehydration procedure was within the limit of 95 minutes at $120^{\circ}C$ under the air flow velocity of 160 feet per minute.
