In case of wood flooring, the high emissivity would be one of the most important properties especially as the cover material of underfloor heating system. The FIR (Far Infrared) materials such as wood emit FIR energy by heating, which has been used as the medical therapy such as dry sauna. This research investigated the emissivity and the emission power of wood composites by comparing the amount of the three heat transfer modes transferred by infrared radiation which came from the increased temperature of the bottom board of the plywood box by the heater. The results showed the value of radiation mode was the highest mode for the plywood box, and the convection mode was the main mode for the aluminum box. The rate of convection was 81.8% in the aluminum box and 48.2% in the plywood box, respectively. In case of the rate of radiation, the aluminum box showed only 15.4% and the plywood box showed 51%. The emissivity and the emission power of birch plywood showed the same values as those of wood. The amount of energy required for the temperature rising of water within vial in the aluminum box and in the plywood box were 3.32 kJ and 6.70 kJ respectively, which showed that the vial temperature of the plywood box was two times higher than that of the aluminum box.

전도, 대류, 복사 방식의 열전달 방식중에서 복사방식이 가장 효율적이고 쾌적한 난방이라는 것은 기존의 연구에서도 잘 알려진 사실이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 천장형 원적외선 복사난방 방식은 같은 면적에서 같은 전력을 투입하였을 때, 설정온도 도달시간이 기존의 전기 난방기 보다 약 $10{\sim}20$분 빠르게 도달함을 알 수 있으며, 그만큼 에너지절약이 된다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The effect of far-infrared (FIR) irradiation and heat treatment on the antioxidant activity of extracts from citrus pomaces (CP) was evaluated. CP were placed in pyrex petri dishes (8.0 cm diameter) and irradiated at $100^{\circ}C$ and $150^{\circ}C$ for 5, 10, 15, 20, 40 or 60 min with a FIR heater or simple heater, respectively. After FIR irradiation or simple heat treatment, 70% ethanol extracts (EE) and water extracts (WE) of CP were prepared and radical scavenging activity (RSA) and reducing power of the extracts were determined. The antioxidant activities of the extracts increased as the time of heating or FIR-irradiation increased. When CP were FIR-irradiated at $100^{\circ}C$ far 30min, the values of RSA and reducing power of EE increased from 14.9% to 44.2%, and 0.290 to 0.886, respectively, compared to the untreated control. Simple heat treatment of CP at $100^{\circ}C$ for 60 min also increased RSA and reducing power of EE to 44.7%, and 1.045, respectively. FIR irradiation and heat treatment increased RSA and reducing power of WE from CP, too. These results indicated the antioxidant activity of CP extracts was significantly affected by FIR irradiation and heating temperature and duration on CP, and that the FIR irradiation and heat treatment process can be used as a tool for increasing the antioxidant activity of CP.

The effect of far-infrared (FIR) irradiation on the antioxidant activity of extracts from rice hulls was evaluated. Rice hulls (9 g) were placed in Pyrex petri dishes (8.0 cm diameter) and irradiated at 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130 or 14$0^{\circ}C$ for 10,20,30,40,50 or 60 min with a FIR heater, respectively. After FIR irradiation, methanol extract of rice hulls was prepared, and total phenol contents (TPC) and radical scavenging activity (RSA) of the extracts were determined. FIR irradiation of rice hulls at 11$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 min increased TPC of the methanol extract from 51.6 $\mu$M to 104.3 $\mu$M compared to those of non-irradiated control. The irradiation at 12$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 min also increased RSA of the extract from 16.23% to 69.40%. These results indicated that appropriate FIR irradiation onto rice hulls could liberate the covalently bound phenolic compounds that have antioxidant activities.

The effect of far-infrared (FIR) radiation on the antioxidant activity of extracts from Citrus unshiu peels (CPs) was evaluated. CPs (5 g) were placed in Pyrex petri dishes (8.0 cm diameter) and irradiated at 150$^{\circ}C$ for 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 min with a FIR heater. After FIR irradiation, 70% ethanol extract of CPs were prepared and total phenol contents (TPC), radical scavenging activity (RSA) and reducing power of the extracts were determined. FIR radiation of CPs at 150$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min increased the TPC and RSA of ethanol extract from 71.9${\mu}$M to 133.9 ${\mu}$M and from 29.64% to 51.27%, respectively, and reducing power was increased from 0.451 to 0.675, compared to those of non-irradiated control. These results indicated that FIR radiation onto CPs could liberate and activate covalently bound phenolic compounds that have antioxidant activities.

The effect of far-infrared (FIR) irradiation and heat treatment on the antioxidant activity of extracts from defatted soybean meal (DSM) was evaluated. DSM were placed in pyrex petri dishes (8.0 cm diameter) and irradiated at $150^{\circ}C$ for 5, 10, 15, 20, 40 or 60 min with a FIR heater or simple heater. After FIR irradiation or simple heat treatment at same conditions, methanol extracts of DSM were prepared and total phenol contents (TPC), radical scavenging activity (RSA) and reducing power of the extracts were determined. The antioxidant activities of the extracts increased as the time of heating or FIR-irradiation increased. When DSM were FIR-irradiated at $150^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, the values of TPC, RSA, and reducing power of the extracts increased from 31.62 mg/ml to 57.51 mg/ml, 11.6% to 53.1%, and 0.068 to 0.147, respectively, compared to the untreated controls. Simple heat treatment of DSM under the same conditions ($150^{\circ}C$ for 15 min) also increased the TPC, RSA, and reducing power of the extracts from to 58.04 mg/ml, 65.2% and 0.160, respectively. The results indicated that appropriate FIR-irradiation or heat treatment on DSM increased the antioxidant activities of methanolic extracts.

The antioxidant activities of Phellinus igniarius (PI) and Ganoderma lucidum (GL) extracts were evaluated after far-infrared (FIR) irradiation. PI and GL were irradiated at $120^{\circ}C$ for 30, 60, 90 and 120 min with a FIR heater (2-14 ${\mu}m$), and then extracted by distilled water for 1 hr. Total sugar contents (TSC), total phenolic contents (TPC), radical scavenging ability (RSA), and reducing power (RP) were significantly increased by FIR irradiation. When PI was irradiated for 120 min, the TSC, TPC, RSA, and RP values of the PI extracts increased from 10.1 to 25.9 mg/g, 6.1 to 13.4 mg/g, 23.8 to 51.5%, and 0.222 to 0.363, respectively, compared to the untreated controls. The GL extracts, under the same conditions ($120^{\circ}C$ for 120 min), also increased in TSC, TPC, RSA, and RP from 11.1 to 22.6 mg/g, 2.5 to 5.8 mg/g, 14.5 to 18.6%, and 0.271 to 0.296, respectively. These results indicate that appropriate FIR irradiation of PI and GL could enhance the antioxidant activities of their extracts by increasing amounts of phenolic and sugar compounds.
