Purpose: The present study is aimed at examining the drying characteristics of sea tangle through a combination of microwave and far-infrared drying experiment and finding the optimal drying conditions. Methods: Sea tangle was cleaned and cut into fine pieces (5mm) before they were subjected to combinational drying by microwave and far-infrared ray. The amount of specimen per drying is 2 kg. The finely cut pieces of sea tangle were preheated in a microwave dryer for three different lengths of time (10, 15, and 20 min). Subsequently, they were dried using a far-infrared dryer at tow temperatures ($90^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$) at an air velocity of 0.8 m/s until the final moisture content reduced to 10%. Results: Sea tangle dried under the condition of 20 min of preheating in the microwave dryer and drying at $100^{\circ}C$ by the far-infrared dryer. Of the drying models verified in this study, the logarithmic model showed high accuracy with the coefficient of determination $R^2>0.7825$ and RMSE<0.1095. The rehydration ratio of sea tangle was the highest (12.87 g water/g dry matter) under the condition of 15 min of preheating in the microwave dryer and drying at $100^{\circ}C$ by the far-infrared dryer. The energy consumption for the combination of microwave and far-infrared drying was the lowest (4.78 kJ/kg water) under the condition of 20 min of preheating in the microwave dryer and drying at $100^{\circ}C$ by the far-infrared dryer. Conclusions: Considering the drying time, discoloration during drying, rehydration ratio, and energy consumption for the drying of sea tangle, the optimal drying conditions for high-quality sea tangle are 15 min of preheating in a microwave dryer and drying at $100^{\circ}C$ by a far-infrared dryer.

Using the relatively low-cost, far-infrared dryer inhibiting the destruction of a variety of physiologically active components of the mulberry fruit, we have studied to make semidry mulberry fruit that can be kept at room temperature for a long time. By adjusting the temperature of the far-infrared dryer step-by-step, we developed a semi-dry method of maintaining the shape of the mulberry fruit. In addition, by drying the coating of honey after removing the juice generated by the mulberry fruit thawing process improved the acceptability of the taste of fruit. We conducted heat treatment mulberry fruit into a $95^{\circ}C$ infrared dryer 5 hours to thaw the frozen mulberry fruit. After 10 to 20% of honey coating, the primary drying ($95^{\circ}C$, 5 hours) was implemented. then, the secondary drying was conducted after controlling the temperature of the far infrared dryer $60^{\circ}C$, for 10 hours. These manufacture process was able to obtain semi-dried mulberry fruit. Dry weight ratio and moisture content were around 25%, and around 16% level respectively. It was to enable long-term storage at room temperature. Therefore, it is suggested that the method of using the far-infrared drying machine to manufacture semi-dried mulberry fruit can be a way to improve the farm income if applied to the farm.

This study was conducted to investigate the drying characteristics of oak mushroom using stationary far-infrared dryer. Drying characteristics was measured at drying air velocity 0.4 to 0.6 m/s and drying temperature 50, 60, and 70$^{\circ}C$, respectively. With high temperature of far-infrared heater and fast air velocity, the far-infrared drying rate of double air flow system was better than conventional heated-air drying as much as 39%. The value of color difference (E) of oak mushroom before and after drying was 8.95 by using heated air drying and was in the range of 3.76$\sim$6.98 by the far-infrared drying. The shrinkage rate of oak mushroom after heated air drying was higher than that of air velocity, 0.6 m/s of far-infrared drying conditions, and was lower than that of air velocity, 0.4 m/s of far-infrared drying conditions. The content of free amino acid was higher in far-infrared drying than heated air drying.

This study was conducted to develop a new drying method far reducing the drying cost and time and to investigate the drying characteristics of oak mushroom. A far infrared dryer of down draft air flow type used for this experiment can control the drying parameters, such as far infrared heater temperature and aeration velocity. The far infrared drying tests were performed at aeration velocities of 0.3 and 0.6m/s under the temperature of 90 and 100$^{\circ}C$ in for infrared heater, respectively. The results were compared and analyzed with those of an heated air drying method used as a control in terms of properties representing the drying characteristics. such as shrinkage rate, color, energy consumption amino acid components, drying rate and moisture ratio. The results obtained from this research can be summarized as follows. 1. The drying rate of far infrared drying was faster than that of heated air drying. With high temperature of far infrared heater and slow aeration velocity, the far infrared drying of down draft air flow type was superior to the heated air drying. 2. Most of far infrared drying conditions required less energy consumption than heated air drying. 3. The shrinkage rates of heated air drying and far infrared drying were decreased by 17.0% and 18.2∼19.8%, respectively. 4. The difference of color on oak mushroom surface before and after drying can be represented as $\Delta$E. $\Delta$E values of far infrared drying and heated air drying were 2.39∼4.55 and 6.77, respectively. 5. The amounts of free amino acids were higher in the far infrared than in the heated air drying. In addition the amounts of Gln and Glu generally were increased and those of Ala, Leu, and Val were decreased in order.

This study was conducted to investigate the drying characteristics of tissue cultured mountain ginseng roots. The far infrared rays dryer of a double blast system used for this experiment can control the drying parameters such as far infrared heater temperature and air velocity. The far infrared rays drying tests of tissue cultured mountain ginseng roots were performed at air velocity of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 m/s, under drying air temperature of 50, 60, and $70^{circ}C$, respectively. The results were compared with one obtained by the heated air drying method. The drying characteristics such as drying rate, color, energy consumption, saponin components and antioxidant activities were analyzed. The results showed that the drying rate of far infrared rays drying was faster than that of heated air drying and due to high temperature of drying air and fast air velocity, the far infrared rays drying of double blast type was superior to the heated air drying. The value of the color difference for heated air drying was 10.11${\sim}$12.99 and that of far infrared rays drying was in the range of 7.05${\sim}$7.54, which was in the same drying condition, also energy consumption of far infrared rays drying was in the range of 3575${\sim}$6898 kJ/kg-water. At the same time, the antioxidant activities using far infrared rays drying were higher than those using heated air drying.

This study was performed to develop a prototype continuous flow ginseng dryer with which better product quality and lower drying energy consumption could be achieved compared with conventional ginseng dryers. A dryer having both far infrared ray (IR) and heated-air as the drying energy sources was designed and fabricated . Dryer performance was studied by examining energy efficiencies and dryer performance evaluation indices (DPEI) during the drying tests of medium-sized four year ginseng roots with IR radiating plate temperature and drying air temperature in the range of 80-12$0^{\circ}C$ and 22-5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The DPEI of IR /heated -air combined drying was 1/3 of that of the conventional heated-air drying when ginseng were dried to the same final moisture ratio. When ginsengs were dried for 12 hours in the prototype IR/heated-air combination dryer, a linear relationship was found to exist between final moisture ratio and ginseng temperature. As the drying progressed, drying air temperature inside the dryer was nearly constant but ginseng temperature was drastically increased during the first two hours and gradually increased thereafter until the end of drying. With the prototype Ir/heated-air combination dryer, the drying rate changed little but the energy efficiency increased proportionally when the amount of ginseng to be dried increased. Drying capacity, energy efficiency, and DPEI of the prototype IR/heated-air combination ginseng dryer were estimated to 1.500 roots, 65% and 3.800kJ/kg-water , respectively.

본 연구에서는 컨베이어식 원적외선 건조기를 이용하여 송풍속도와 건조온도에 따른 표고버섯의 건조특성과 건조제품의 색도변화를 조사하고 건조조건에 따른 표고버섯의 항산화성분과 항산화력의 변화를 분석함으로써 고품질의 원적외선 건조 표고버섯 제품 생산을 위한 기초 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 컨베이어식 원적외선 건조의 경우 건조실 온도가 높고, 풍속이 증가할수록 건조속도가 빠른 것으로 나타났으며 열풍건조에 배해 건조시간을 약 $3\sim6.5$시간 단축할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 원적외선 건조에 의한 표고버섯의 항산화성분과 항산화력의 감소율은 $60^{\circ}C-0.6\;m/s,\;60^{\circ}C-0.8\;m/s,\;70^{\circ}C-0.6\;m/s$ 조건일 경우에만 열풍건조에 건조에 비해 적은 것으로 나타났으며, 그 이상의 조건에서는 열풍건조보다 손실률이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 원적외선 건조 내부의 건조조건을 저온 저속으로 결정한다면 표고버섯의 항산화성분과 항산화력의 손실을 최소화하고 열풍건조기에 비해 신속하고 색도의 변화가 최소화된 고품질의 표고버섯 제품을 생산할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 원적외선을 이용하여 1차 열풍건조 한 고추 다진 양념을 건조할 경우 두께, 건조온도와 송풍속도에 따른 건조특성과 건조제품의 색도 변화, 건조 전후 고추 다진 양념의 capsaicinoid 등 품질특성을 분석하여 원적외선 건조 기초 자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 고추 다진 양념의 건조속도는 원적외선 건조온도와 송풍속도가 증가할수록 빨라지고 건조시간이 단축되는 경향을 보였으며, 건조 두께 10 mm 조건이 20 mm 조건보다 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 특히 두께 10 mm, 원적외선 건조온도 $80^{\circ}C$, 송풍속도 0.8 m/s 조건에서 건조시간이 63분으로 건조속도가 가장 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 검증한 건조모델 중 Page 및 Henderson 모델의 경우 전체적인 건조시간대에서 비교적 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타나, 고추 다진 양념의 원적외선 건조 시 Page 및 Henderson 모델을 이용할 경우 높은 정밀도에서 함수율비 예측이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 원적외선 건조 후 고추 다진 양념의 색차(${\Delta}E$) 값은 두께 10 mm 조건보다 20 mm 조건에서 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 건조온도 $70^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 약간 높은 것으로 나타났으나 오차 범위로 큰 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 원적외선 건조 후 고추 다진 양념의 적색도(a) 값은 두께 20 mm, 건조온도 $80^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 갈변하는 현상이 심화하는 것으로 나타났다. Capsaicin 함량은 건조 두께가 두껍고, 건조온도가 낮으며, 송풍속도가 느릴수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 모든 조건에서 건조 전 capsaicin 함량인 22.15 mg/100 g에 비해 건조 후 capsaicin 함량이 2.24~4.70 mg/100 g 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 두께 10 mm, 건조온도 $80^{\circ}C$, 송풍속도 0.8 m/s 조건에서 감소폭이 작은 것으로 나타났다. Dihydrocapsaicin 함량의 경우에도 원적외선 건조 후 1.05~3.82 mg/100 g 감소하는 것으로 나타났고, 두께 10 mm, 건조온도 $80^{\circ}C$, 송풍속도 0.8 m/s 조건에서 감소폭이 작은 것으로 나타났다. 원적외선 건조 중 에너지 소비량은 송풍속도가 느리고 건조온도가 높을수록 감소하였으며, 건조 두께 10 mm 조건이 20 mm 조건보다 적은 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, 두께 10 mm, 건조온도 $80^{\circ}C$, 송풍속도 0.6 m/s 조건에서 에너지 소비량은 5.08 kWh/kg-water로 가장 적은 값을 보였다. 따라서 고추 다진 양념의 건조시간, 건조 중 변색, capsaicinoid 함량 및 에너지 소비량 등을 고려하면 건조 고추 다진 양념의 고품질화를 위해서는 원적외선 건조온도 $80^{\circ}C$, 송풍속도 0.6 m/s, 두께 10 mm 조건이 적절한 건조조건으로 판단된다.
