Storage stability of freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria is a critical factor for their cost-effectiveness. Long-term storage of lactic acid bacteria enables microbial industry to reduce distribution costs. Herein, we investigated the effect of cold adaptation under supercooling conditions at -5℃ on the viability of Leuconostoc mesenteroides WiKim32 during the freeze-drying process and subsequent storage. Cold adaptation increased the thickness of exopolysaccharides (EPS) and improved the viability of freeze-dried Leu. mesenteroides WiKim32. Compared to non-adapted cells, cold-adapted cells showed a 35.4% increase in EPS thickness under supercooling conditions. The viability of EPS-hydrolyzed cells was lower than that of untreated cells, implying that EPS plays a role in protection during the freeze-drying process. Cold adaptation increased the storage stability of freeze-dried Leu. mesenteroides WiKim32. Fifty-six days after storage, the highest viability (71.3%) was achieved with cold adaptation at -5℃. When EPS-containing broth was added prior to the freeze-drying process, the viability further increased to 82.7%. These results imply that cold adaptation by supercooling pretreatment would be a good strategy for the long-term storage of Leu. mesenteroides WiKim32.

A study on the heat and mass transfer for the drying time in spray freezing drying process was experimentally presented in this paper. A spray freezing dryer for the production of an inhalable powder medicine is developed and an albumin solution as protein specimen is adopted. The freeze-drying for the albumin solution is tested in three different height of the particles piled up in a tray such as 2 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, and the drying time is estimated as 10 h, 15 h, 22 h. From this results, the correlation is suggested and the drying time with various height of the particles piled up in a tray can be estimated. The assessment on the drying time is conducted thought a microbalance and the rate of water content is measured. The results based on temperature and weight are compared. The difference of the results happens due to the heat transfer from the lateral side of the vial. It is thought that the better estimation in drying time can be predicted by considering the heat transfer effect.

동결건조후 재수화 방법이 Streptomyces aureofaciens 생존도에 미치는 영향을 실험하기 위해 $^3H-adenine$을 DNA에 주입시킨후 유출되는 방사선량과 균을 전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 그 결과 Streptomyces aureofaciens의 손상은 동결건조 과정에서 일어나는것 보다 재수화 과정에서 공기를 허용한 상태에서 재수화시 크게 일어났으며, 그 생존도는 약 20%이고, 공기가 없는 밀봉된 진공상태의 이중 용기에서 재수화시 약 91%로 나타났다. 공기를 허용한 개봉된 이중 용기에서 증류수에 잠긴채 재수화한 생존도는 약 36%이며, 이중 용기에 $N_2-gas$를 주입하여 밀봉된 상태에서 재수화한 경우 약 83% 생존도를 나타냈다. 따라서 생존도는 재수화 과정에서 산소의 영향을 매우 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다.

동결건조에서 승화 건조시간을 예측하기 위하여 수학적 모델링과 지배방정식을 설정하고, 당근즙을 대상으로 수치계산하여 실험값과 비교한 바, 수분함량이 많은 동결건조품에서 단위면적당 승화량을 높일 수 있는 재료의 두께는 전도 열전달 방식에서 5mm이었으며, 양면 복사방식에서는 10mm이었다. 또한 동일한 압력에서 응축기 온도가 낮을수록 당근즙의 승화시간은 짧았고, 압력이 높을수록 승화시간은 선형적으로 증가하였다. 그리고 동결건조 효율이 가장 좋은 열전달 방법으로는 전도 및 복사방식으로 상, 하의 플레이트 온도를 $T_x{\leq}T_m$와 $T_m{\leq}T_x$의 제한 조건하에서도 별도 제어하는 방식이었다.

Objective: This study evaluated the effects of temperature and storage time on the quality and DNA integrity of freeze-dried sperm from individuals with normozoospermia. Methods: Normal sperm samples from 15 men aged 24 to 40 years were studied. Each sample was divided into six groups: fresh, freezing (frozen in liquid nitrogen), freeze-dried then preserved at room temperature for 1 month (FD-1m-RT), freeze-dried then preserved at room temperature for 2 months (FD-2m-RT), freeze-dried then preserved at 4 ℃ for 1 month (FD-1m-4 ℃), and freeze-dried then preserved at 4 ℃ for 2 months (FD-2m-4 ℃). The morphology, progressive motility, vitality, and DNA integrity of the sperm were evaluated in all groups. Results: In all freeze-dried groups, sperm cells were immotile after rehydration. The freeze-dried groups also showed significantly less sperm vitality than the fresh and frozen groups. Significantly more morphological sperm abnormalities were found in the freeze-dried groups, but freeze-drying did not lead to a significantly higher DNA fragmentation index (DFI). The DFI was significantly higher in the FD-2m-RT group than in the other freeze-dried groups. Conclusion: The freeze-drying method preserved the integrity of sperm DNA. The temperature and duration of storage were also identified as factors that influenced the DFI. Accordingly, more research is needed on ways to improve sperm quality in the freeze-drying process.

A vacuum freeze drying experiment of skim milk solution in a cylindrical container is conducted to investigate the multi-dimensional drying characteristics of the process during the primary drying stage. Temperature histories at several positions are measured under the same process condition that is carefully controlled. Then the measured temperature histories at different positions are combined to produce instantaneous temperature distribution fields inside the cylindrical container. Along with the temperature measurement, the mass reduction history of the skim milk solution is also measured. From the measured temperature distribution curved configurations of sublimation interfaces and 2-dimensional heat transfer is inferred. The freeze drying under the present experimental setup is simulated with a calculation program that is based on a finite volume method with a moving grid system. Good agreements between the numerical and experimental results are observed. The present experimental results and the numerical approaches can be useful information in developing the analysis tools for practical vacuum freeze drying processes.

폐자원으로써 버려지는 포도 가공부산물의 활용을 위한 기초연구로 본 연구에서는 포도부산물의 건조방법에 따른 일반성분, 색도, pH, 항산화성분 및 활성을 비교분석 하였다. 일반성분의 경우, 회분, 조지방, 조단백 함량은 열풍건조시료에서 더 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 색도 측정결과, L값(명도)과 a값(적색도)은 동결건조 한 시료가 더 높게 나타난 반면, b값(황색도)의 경우 열풍건조시료에서 높은 값을 나타내었다. pH는 열풍건조시료의 pH가 동결건조시료에 비해 약간 높은 값을 나타내었으나 큰 차이는 보이지 않았다. 총 폴리페놀 함량 및 안토시아닌 함량은 동결건조시료에서 더 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 항산화 활성 측정 결과 라디칼 소거능의 경우, DPPH 및 ABTS 라디칼 소거능이 열풍건조시료에 비해 동결건조시료에서 비교적 우수한 활성을 나타내었다. 반면, 환원력으로 측정한 항산화 활성의 경우, reducing power 및 FRAP 값이 동결건조시료에 비해 열풍건조시료에서 높은 활성을 나타내었으나 수치상으로 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 건조방법에 따른 항산화 성분과 항산화 활성을 비교한 결과 열풍건조시료에 비해 동결건조 시료가 더 우수한 것으로 사료된다.

Porous SiC beads were prepared by freeze-drying a polycarbosilane (PCS) emulsion. The water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion, which was composed of water, PCS dissolved p-xylene, and sodium xylenesulfonate (SXS) as an emulsifier, was frozen by dropping it onto a liquid $N_2$ bath; this process resulted in 1~2 mm sized beads. Beads were cured at $200^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in air and heat-treated at $800^{\circ}C$ and $1400^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in an Ar gas flow. Two types of pores, lamella-shaped and spherical pores, were observed. Lamellar-shaped pores were found to develop during the freezing of the xylene solvent. Water droplets in the w/o emulsion were changed into spherical pores under freeze-drying. At $1400^{\circ}C$ of heat-treatment, porous SiC was synthesized with a low level of impurities.

본 연구는 키위를 이용하여 새로운 가공식품을 개발하고자 삼투건조로 전처리하여 열풍, 진공, 동결건조한 후 삼투처리 유무에 따라 각각의 품질특성을 비교 평가하였다. 수분함량은 무처리 및 삼투처리한 키위를 열풍 진공, 동결건조 하였을 때 무처리가 삼투처리한 경우 보다 낮았다. 건조방법에 따른 vitamin C의 함량은 무처리보다 삼투처리가 낮았으며 건조시간에 따른 vitamin C의 함량변화는 동결, 진공건조시 완만한 감소를 보이는 반면 열풍건조한 경우는 많은 감소를 보였다. 수분의 이동을 나타내는 확산속도는 무처리의 경우 열풍건조가 가장 빨랐으나 삼투처리 후에는 진공건조가 가장 빠르게 나타났다. 세 가지 건조방법 모두 삼투처리가 빠른 건조 양상을 보여 효과적인 전처리 방법임을 확인 할 수 있었다. 품질변화 특성은 열풍, 진공 동결건조 모두 2차 반응속도식이 품질변화예측 모델식으로 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

Drying process was applied to increase the antioxidant activity of onion powder: freeze-drying or air-drying at 50, 70, and $90^{\circ}C$ and onion extracts were obtained from each powder using water or aqueous ethanol (50%) at $25^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$. In the color analysis, the freeze-dried powders showed higher $L^*$ and lower $a^*$ and $b^*$ values than did the air-dried ones. The browning index of powders air-dried at $90^{\circ}C$ was significantly higher than that of freeze-dried powders or those air-dried at temperatures below $90^{\circ}C$. Phenolic content in the extracts was 4.02-23.12 mg gallic acid equivalent/g sample, and was the highest in the extract from the sample air-dried at $90^{\circ}C$, regardless of the extraction condition. The highest antioxidant activity, measured by 2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl methods, was found in the powder air-dried at $90^{\circ}C$, which induced browning. These findings indicate that antioxidant activity depends more on browning during drying than on extraction conditions.
