Approximately 80% of the world's sea cucumbers Apostichopus japonicas are processed into dried sea cucumbers. The hot air-drying method is currently used in industry, but it has many problems, such as a short drying time, severe browning, high nutrition loss, and low recovery. In this study, the moisture absorption rate, dry recovery rate, and lipid nutrient composition of sea cucumber dried by heat pump decompression and with a hybrid dryer were investigated. The moisture absorption rates for hybrid-dried sea cucumbers at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h were 241.3%, 427.7%, 652.0%, 721.0%, and 742.2%, respectively. The moisture absorption rates for hot air-dried sea cucumbers were 155.8%, 240.0%, 390.3%, 655.5%, and 667.4%, respectively. Thus, moisture absorption was faster and greater with hybrid drying than with hot air drying. The dry recovery rate at 24 h was greater for hybrid-dried sea cucumber (70.7%) than for hot air-dried sea cucumber (59.8%). Saturated fatty acid contents of the hybrid- and hot air-dried sea cucumbers were 30.0% and 37.5%, respectively. Moreover, greater ${\Sigma}n-3$ polyunsaturated fatty acid content was found in hybrid-dried sea cucumber (15.8%) than in hot air-dried sea cucumber (11.7%).

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of drying methods on the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch.). Pumpkins were dried naturally ($25^{\circ}C$), hot-air drying ($60^{\circ}C$), and throgh freeze drying ($-40^{\circ}C$) methods. The moisture activities were highest in the freeze dried group. The soluble solid showed no significant differences among all groups. The pH was highest in the freeze dried group. The L values were increasing in freeze dried group, whereas the b values were increased in hot-air dried group. The free sugar was highest in freeze dried group. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of hot-air dried group was higher than those of the other groups. The ABTS radical scavenging activities were highest with hot-air dried group and freeze dried group. It was established that hot-air dried group is the most effective drying method for the production of high quality dried pumpkin.

This study was designed to investigate effective preprocess methods for the antioxidant activity of Lycopus lucidus Trucz tubers extract. Lycopus lucidus Trucz tubers (LlTT) were treated with D (Dried), SD (Steamed and Dried), ASD (Alcohol-Steamed and Dried), DR (Dried and Roasted), SDR (Steamed, Dried and Roasted), and ASDR (Alcohol-Steamed, Dried and Roasted). Solid content was high in Lycopus lucidus Trucs tubers, which were roasted after drying (especially SDR, ASDR). Total sugar and reducing sugar contents were high in roasted ones. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were high upon alcohol-steaming in both the dried and roasted groups. Antioxidant activities of LlTT extracts showed effective nitrate scavenging ability, ABTs radical scavenging ability, Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, and DPPH radical scavenging ability. As a result, roasting or steaming process (especially using alcohol) can be helpful to obtain the highly antioxidative extract of Lycopus lucidus Trucs tubers.

Pyebaek of Jeonju area based on the method prepared by late old madame Park, Bokja can be characterized as follows: First, vegetables which could be obtained locally constituted the main body of materials of Jeonju Pyebaek and animal foods used in Pyebaek were dried fishe for the most of times. In the pre-refrigerator era, the main reason behind the heavy uses of dried fish such as dried abalone or octopus instead of animal foods can be attributed to the easy availability of dried fish. In recent years, foods made of animal foods has been indispensible items. Second for the patterns and decorations of Pyebaek natural figures such as birds, flowers, butterflies, loaves and half moon were imitated in making of octopus cuttings, squid cuttings, Yakkwa, Hwajeon, Dried persimmons, Jeonbokssam, etc. Beef jerky, Yeotgangjeong were decorated beautifully with pine nuts, shredded dried dates and raisins. Many colors were used in various items of Jeonju Pyebaek such as Hwajeon, Songpyun, Saji. Finally, flavors of Jeonju Pyebaek are sweet and tasty of sesame oil.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of sun-dried salt prepared with added Cheongyang hot pepper juice(CPJ). The moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, and crude ash contents of the CPJ were 84.36%, 2.27%, 1.41%, and 0.67% respectively. The moisture content, yellowness, capsaicin, and dihydrocapsaicin of sun-dried salt increased according to the level of added CPJ, whereas the NaCl, pH, lightness, and redness value increased. The sensory evaluation results showed that preferences for the sun-dried salt increased as CPJ, approached their optimum value and decreased as they exceeded optimum levels. Consequently, the proposed optimum level in the ingredient formulation for manufacture of the standard sun-dried salt was 30% CPJ, as based on analyses. Ultimately, this study was expected to contribute to the commercialization of sun-dried salt of high quality.

lt is well known that some kinds of leaves contain a lot of antioxidants in them; however, little attention has been given to the study on the amount of antioxidants in them and the changes in the amount of antioxidants in them during their growth. Therefore, we examined the antioxidants in the leaves of persimon, moraceae, and trifoliage orange during their growth. The amount of total polyphenol tended to decrease during plants' growth, and each amount was 4.62 g/dried 100 g persimon leaf, 1.70 gloried 100 g moraceae leaf, and 0.91 g/dried 100 g trifoliage orange leaf in April. The amount of total polyphenol in persimon leaf was 2.7∼5.1 times higher than moraceae and trifoliage orange leaf. The amount of ascorbic acid also decreased during plants' growth, and each amount was 2.7∼6.0 mg/dried 100 g moraceae leaf, 5.3∼9.9 mg/dried 100 g persimon leaf, and 3.7∼6.9 mg/dried 100 g trifoliage orange leaf. Persimon leaf was found to contain higher amount of ascorbic acid than moraceae leaf or trifoliage orange leaf. The amount of glutathione tended to decrease during plants' growth, and each average amount was 35.7 mg/dried 100 g trifoliage orange leaf, 15.8 mg/dried 100 g moraceae leaf, and 2.3 mg/dried 100 g persimon leaf. Trifoliage orange leaf contained the highest amount of glutathione. $\beta$ -Carotene tended to increase during the growth, and each amount was 411.2 mg/dried 100 g moraceae leaf, 198.5 mg/dried 100 g persimon leaf, 144.1 mg/dried 100 g trifoliage orange leaf in September. $\alpha$ -Tocopherol also tended to increase during the growth, and each amount was 52.8 mg/dried 100 g trifoliage orange leaf, 48.6 mg/dried 100 g moraceae leaf, and 61.7 mg/dried 100 g persimon leaf in September.

The weight ratio of the seed in jujube averaged to 19.1%. The chemical components of dried pitted-jujube were moisture 20.4%, protein 5.3%, fat 1.3%, ash 2.7%, fiber 4.4% and nitrogen-free extract 65.9%. Alcohol insoluble solid content of dried pitted-jujube was 17.4%, in which ammonium oxalate-soluble pectin was 3.7%, water-soluble pectin 3.0%, hydrochloric acid-soluble pectin 1.0%, and sodium hydroxide-soluble pectin 1.0%. Jujube contained sucrose, glucose and fructose as free sugar. The sugars of dried pitted-jujube was composed of sucrose 48.1%, fructose 18.7%, and glucose 11.3%. Drying experiments of pitted-jujube and unpitted-jujube were carried out. Moisture content and brix of dried pitted-jujube were reached at that of dried unpitted-jujube(11%, 78 brix in 48 hours of dry) in 11 hours of drying. And this means that dried pitted-jujube dried 4 times faster than dried unpitted-jujube. The extracts of dried pitted-jujube and dried unpitted-jujube were examinet according to the amount of water added and the extraction time. The brix of dried pitted-jujube extract for 30 min is similar to that of dried unpitted-jujube extract for 150 min. The brix of the extracts did not increase after 150 min extraction. As to the color of extract, 'L' value was higher in dried unpitted-be, while 'a' and 'b' values were higher in dried pitted-jujube.

Two experiments were conducted to study the performance and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo (Korean native beef cattle) steers (Experiment 1) and the nutrient digestibility of sheep (Experiment 2) when the animals fed diets containing four levels of dried wormwood (Artemisia sp.). For both experiments the animals were given a basal diet consisting of rice straw and concentrate mixed at 3:7 ratio (on DM basis). In Experiment 1, the treatments were designed as a completely randomized design with two feeding periods. Steers were allotted in one of four dietary treatments, which were designed to progressively substitute dried wormwood for 0, 3, 5 and 10% of the rice straw in the basal diet. Bodyweight gain and average daily gain (ADG) of Hanwoo steers fed diets containing the 5 and 10% wormwood inclusion were greater (p<0.05) than the 3% wormwood-feeding group. Total and daily intakes of roughage and concentrate were not altered by all levels of dried wormwood inclusion. However, the 10% dried wormwood inclusion led to increased total feed intake (p<0.05) compared with that of the 0 and 3% of dried wormwood inclusion. Carcass weight, carcass yield and backfat thickness were not altered by dried wormwood inclusion. The highest level of dried wormwood inclusion resulted in significantly increased (p<0.05) loin-eye area compared with the 0 and 5% levels of dried wormwood inclusion. Experiment 2 was designed by a $4{\times}4$ Latin square with four periods. Sheep were allocated in one of four dietary treatments as same as in Experiment 1. Digestibilities of DM and TDN were significantly increased (p<0.05) in sheep fed the diet containing all three levels of dried wormwood inclusion compared with the control treatment. Digestibilities of CP and crude fiber in the 5% dried wormwood inclusion highly increased (p<0.05) up to 8.2 and 5.5% respectively relative to the control treatment. The palatability was significantly improved (p<0.05) by the 5% dried wormwood inclusion compared with the control treatment. It is concluded that feeding diets containing dried wormwood substituted for equal weights of rice straw at 5 and 10% levels would be anticipated to provide better quality roughage for beef cattle production and higher income for beef cattle producers.

General composition, amines, and flesh tissue of boiled-dryed abalone and sea cucumber were compared with those of the freeze-dried abalone and sea cucumber. No significant differences were found in the general composition between the boiled-dried and freeze-dried, but the slight amount of soup flowed out from the boiled-dried. A specific feature is that 28.24% of ash was found in the boild-dried sea cucumber and 33.99% of ash in the freeze dried one in order of Na, K, Mg, Ca. Such contents of ash are considered to be due to salt and soft bone of samples. In the changes of amines in abalone and sea cucumber, trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) showed no great difference between raw samples and the dried ones, but showed the decrease of 43% to 54% in the boiled-dried ones, compared with raw ones. Trimethylamine (TMA) was richer in the boiled-dried than in the dried. Dimethylamine (DMA) which has tendency of causing cancer in the human body showed 14 times of content in the freeze boiled-dried abalone, 18.5 times in the boiled-dried sea cu cumber and also showed 4.7 to 6.7 times of increase in the freeze dried, respectively compared with raw ones. The muscular change of abalone was not found in at freeze dried samples, but a considerable change in sea cucumber.
