마늘가루를 상대습도 11%에 84%까지 8단계의 상대습도별로 $5^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C$ 및 $35^{\circ}C$의 온도에 저장하면서 마늘가루의 갈변 및 흡습특성을 조사하였다. 저장시간에 따른 마늘가루의 흡습곡선은 RH 51% 이하에서는 단시간내에 평형에 도달하여 수분함량의 변화가 거의 없었으나 $25^{\circ}C$ 및 $35^{\circ}C$의 RH 67% 이상에서, $5^{\circ}C$의 RH 84%에서 평형수분함량이 급격히 증가하여 갈변현상이 나타났다. 마늘가루의 일분자층 수분함량은 온도에 따라서 5.53%(DB)에서 5.92%(DB)로서 온도가 내려감에 따라 다소 증가하는 경향을 나타냈고 수분함량 및 저장온도가 낮으면 낮을수록 흡습력이 크기 때문에 마늘가루의 장기저장에 방습포장재 가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

Thin-layers of wheat and barley are dried at near-ambient temperatures(3.5$^{\circ}C$ -5$0^{\circ}C$) in order to obtain the intrinsic drying data. The well established apparatus was modified to enable it to record all the sample weight data in still air by using a purpose -built automatically controlled sliding valve. The air could be diverted in less than 0.5seconds and a 7 second period was required to attain a steady weight reading. With this apparatus, very smooth drying curves were obtained. The data of sample weight , drying temperature and dew point temperature wee recorded continuously . The drying process was terminated when the moisture content change in 24 hours was less than 0.004 d.b. This was achieved by drying a sample for about a week . The final points were recorded as the dynamic equilibrium moisture content(EMC). The drying data were than fitted to the exponential Newton model and the dynamic EMC data were fitted to the Modified-Chung-Pfost Model . All the fitted parameters are given and comparison is made with previous published data. The comparisons who that the current drying constants are lower than the previous data, the dynamic EMC data obtained for wheat and barely agree with the previous data. The results show that to obtain the drying constant in the exponential Newton model, adequate drying time is necessary.

At present, no appropriate drying conditions can be found for the heated-air drying of mushroom in Korea. Usually, mushroom is being dried at the temperature range of 40 to $50^{\circ}C$ until the moisture content reaches 10~13% (wb). However, drying characteristics of the mushroom should be investigated for quality improvement and efficient drying operation of the mushroom. The results of this study may be summarized as follows ; 1. The effect of air temperature on the rate of drying was greater than that of relative humidity for drying of mushroom, and the rate of drying was increased with increase in the air temperature. 2. Drying rate for Shiitake mushroom showed falling-rate period of drying without constant-rate period of drying. Drying rate for Oyster mushroom showed a short constant-rate period at the initial stage of drying process, and followed by falling-rate period of drying. 3. Exponential and App.-Diffusion models were found to describe well the drying process of Shiitake mushroom. Exponential and Thompson models for Oyster mushroom in which Thompson model was the most suitable for Oyster mushroom. 4. The equilibrium moisture content of the mushroom decreased with decrease in the air temperature and increase in the relative humidity. In room condition($20^{\circ}C$, 54% RH), the calculated values of the equilibrium moisture content showed 11.17% for Shiitake mushroom and 13.19% for Oyster mushroom, respectively.

Movement behavior, shrinkage and equilibrium moisture content (EMC), in this experiment reflected a change of hygroscopicity mainly affected by continuously compressive load during radio-frequency/vacuum (RF/V) drying and humidity changes during equilibrating. As a result of interaction of the compressive load and moisture content changing under the RF/V condition, the shrinkages in loading direction were significantly increased while those perpendicular to loading direction were decreased. The shrinkages were affected most in tangential, and least in longitudinal direction. The shrinkages showed higher values in continuous drying than in intermittent drying. In the direction of increased shrinkage, all the movements were also increased, for example, the tangential movement for the loaded-RS and the radial movement for loaded-TS; in the direction of decreased shrinkage, all the movements except the tangential movement for the loaded-TS were decreased such as the tangential and radial movements for the loaded-ES, and the radial movement for the loaded-RS, comparing with those of the load-free. EMCs of the loaded specimens were all higher than that of the load-free specimen, and the highest for the loaded-TS, the lowest for the loaded-ES. The transverse hygroscopicity of specimen was reduced for the loaded-ES, but increased for the loaded-TS.

In this study, it was examined the method to estimate equilibrium moisture content(EMC) at high vapor pressures and high temperatures above $100^{\circ}C$. The material used for the experiment was Sugi(Cryptomeria japonica). EMC was investigated at temperatures ranging from $100^{\circ}C$ to $160^{\circ}C$ and under saturated vapor pressures above 1 atm. The correlation between temperatures and vapor pressures have a good agreement with those observed by thermocouple and pressure gauge in the air state of autoclave, respectively. A sensitivity of quartz spring was 65mm/g. Moisture content(MC)s calculated from the quartz spring elongation by vapor sorption showed a good agreement with MCs by oven-dried method. Using this system, it was found that EMC at high vapor pressures and high temperatures above $100^{\circ}C$ were higher than EMC of wood in 1 atm pressure conditions. With this system, therefore, it was concluded that the EMCs of wood and wood-based materials at high temperatures were able to be evaluated.

Several thick board and dimension lumbers of Japanese larch(Larix leptolepis), Dahurian larch(Larix gmelini) and radiata pine(Pinus radiata) air-dried in four different seasons to compare air-drying process. Patterns of air-drying curves were influenced by climatological conditions and limber thickness. The initial drying rates of summer were the highest, followed those of fall, spring and winter. The drying times to equilibrium moisture contents for four seasons were nearly the same except for winter. However, the drying time for winter required twice more time than the other seasons. The drying time of dimension lumbers required 1.3 times more than boards. The final moisture contents were lowest during spring, highest during winter and similar between summer and fall.

커피의 저장 중 흡착에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 인자로는 수분활성 및 온도이다. 따라서 커피의 제조공정 중 추출시 건조방법의 차이에 따른 세 종류의 제품에 대한 흡착 특성을 조사하고 수분활성, 온도 및 시간의 변화에 따른 흡착량을 측정하여 조건변수의 변화에 따른 흡착량의 변화를 예측할 수 있는 예측모델식을 수립하였다. 흡착거동은 전형적인 Sigmoid 형태를 나타냈으며 평형수분함량과 단분자층 수분함량은 동결 건조제품이 가장 높게 나타났으며 이는 건조방법에 의해 생성된 다공성구조에 기인된 것으로 사료된다. 기 발표된 여러 형태의 등온흡착곡선 모델식에 적용시켜 본 결과 Halsey 모델식의 상관계수 r값이 $0.98{\sim}0.99$로 가장 적합하였다. 또한 예측모델식은 SPSS COMPUTER PROGRAM을 이용하여 가장 오차가 적은 범위에서 수분활성, 온도 및 시간의 변화에 따른 흡착량의 변화를 예측할 수 있는 최종적인 모델식을 수립하였다.

Determination of safety factor of corrugated fiberboard boxes used for agricultural products is very complicated process due to nature of living products. Moisture content is one of the most critical factors to determine overall physical strength of paper, so its influences on strength properties of corrugated board made from different raw materials must be quantified. The results obtained from the study were summarized as follows; 1. Results show a detrimental effect on bursting strength and compressive strength of liners with increasing relative humidity of environment and moisture content of liners. 2. The relevance of equilibrium moisture content at varying relative humidity levels was proved and its relationship was used as an important factor to estimate box compression strength. 3. Test results was statistically used for establish the relationship between relative humidity and moisture content of liners. Estimated compression strength of boxes at varying moisture content was similar to results of theoretical equations such as Kellicutt's. Further study could be carried out in order to determine a optimum safety factors of various corrugated board boxes for agricultural products.

Four models in current use for cereal grain drying, equilibrium model, Morey model, partial differential equation model and simplified partial differential equation model, were modified to be suitable for natural air drying of barley. The predicted by the four models and experimental results were compared. Three models except equilibrium model predicted moisture comtent and grain temperature very well. But equilibrium model overpredicted moisture content and grain temperature of bottom layer. The degree of prediction of the four models for relative humidities of exhaust air didn't differ much from one another and equally the four models predicted relative humidity statisfatorily. Morey model took much shorter computing time than any other models. Therefore, considering the degree of prediction and computing time Morey model was the most suitable for natural air drying of barley.
