This study was performed to develop thin layer drying equations fur short grain rough rice using far-infrared ray. Thin layer drying tests was conducted at four far-infrared ray temperature levels of 30, 40, 50, 60$^{\circ}C$ and two initial moisture content levels of 20.7, 26.2%(w.b.). The measured moisture ratios were fitted to Lewis and Page drying models by stepwise multiple regression analysis. Half response time of drying was affected by both drying temperature and initial moisture content at drying temperature of below 40$^{\circ}C$, but at above 40$^{\circ}C$ was mainly affected by drying temperature. Experimental constant(k) in Lewis model was a function of drying temperature, but K and N in Page model were function of drying temperature and initial moisture content. Moisture ratios predicted by two drying models agreed well with experimental values. But in the actual range of drying temperature above 30$^{\circ}C$ Page model was more suitable for predicting of drying rates.

각 처리구별 찰옥수수를 원적외선 건조기를 사용하여 건조한 후 진공포장하여 저장하는 동안 찰옥수수의 미생물변화, 호화도, 수분함량, 색도 및 물성 변화 등 건조 찰옥수수의 품질변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 총균수는 6시간 원적외선 건조 시 생옥수수인 대조구의 경우 2.32 log CFU/g을 나타내었으나 모든 처리구에서는 검출되지 않았다. 그러나 $4^{\circ}C$에서 저장시 저장 3개월까지는 대조구를 제외한 모든 처리구에서 총균수가 검출되지 않았으나 7개월 저장 후에는 대조구에 비하여 증자 찰옥수수 처리구가 약 2 log, 당처리구는 약 2.7 log 정도 감소하였다. 곰팡이 및 효모는 총균수보다 원적외선 건조에 약간 더 저항성이 강한 것으로 나타났으며 이러한 결과는 $25^{\circ}C$에서 저장시 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 생옥수수의 호화도는 저장 전에 98%, 저장 7개월 후 96.2%로 거의 변화가 없었으나 원적외선 건조한 증자 찰옥수수는 저장 전에 81.14%, $4^{\circ}C$에서 7개월 저장 후 58.73%로 많이 노화되었으며 이러한 결과는 당처리구에서도 유사하게 나타났다. 수분함량은 당처리구 찰옥수수가 증자 찰옥수수에 비하여 건조시간이 증가함에 따라 수분함량이 더욱 낮아졌으며 색도변화는 생옥수수는 건조시간이 증가함에 따라 색의 밝기(L값)가 증가하였으나 증자 또는 당처리구 찰옥수수는 9시간 건조까지는 건조시간에 따라 L값이 증가하였으며 12시간 이후부터는 현저하게 감소하였다. 경도는 건조전에 생옥수수가 증자 또는 당처리 찰옥수수에 비하여 경도가 높았으며 9시간 건조이후에는 생옥수수와 당처리 찰옥수수의 경도가 비슷하게 나타났으나 증자 찰옥수수는 현저하게 경도가 저하되었다. 본 연구결과, 찰옥수수를 원적외선 건조하여 수분함량을 낮춤으로 미생물의 생육 저하, 저장성 향상은 물론 안전성 및 고품질 확보에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

참나물을 원적외선 건조기와 원적외선-진공건조기를 사용하여 건조할 때 건조조건에 따른 건조속도, 색도, 미생물 변화, 갈변도, 수화복원성 및 관능검사 등 건조참나물의 품질변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 참나물의 건조속도는 건 조온도를 5$0^{\circ}C$, 6$0^{\circ}C$ 및 7$0^{\circ}C$로 하여 원적외선-진공건조를 하였을 때는 원적외선 건조한 경 우보다 건조시간이 약 17%이상 단축되었다. 색도변화는 건조온도가 높을수록 증가되었으며 원적외선진공건조가 원적외선보다 그 변화율이 작았다. 건조시간에 따른 참나물의 미생물변 화는 건조온도가 높을수록 그리고 건조시간이 길어질수록 감소하였으나 건조방법에는 큰 영 향을 받지 않았다. 건조방법과 건조온도에 따른 참나물의 수화복원성은 원적외선-진공건조 시료가 원적외선 건조시료보다 재수화 특성값이 높았으며, 특히 건조온도가 높을수록 복원 률이 우수하였다. 재수화 후의 관능적 품질은 낮은 온도에서 그리고 원적외선 건조 참나물 보다 원적외선-진공건조 참나물이 높은 점수를 얻었으며, 특히 관능적 색도면에서는 원적외 선 건조보다 원적외선-진공건조를 행한 경우에 훨씬 좋은 점수를 나타내었다. 따라서 원적 외선-진공건조를 사용할 경우 원적외선 단독보다는 건조 효율이 증대되며, 복원성과 색도의 안전성을 증진시킴으로써 참나물의 품질저하를 최소화할 수 있었다.

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.

Red sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus, was dried using three methods-far-infrared ray, vacuum, and freeze drying and then enzymatically hydrolyzed using nine proteases: Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Kojizyme, Neutrase, Protamex, trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, and papain. In addition, the potential ability of hydrolysates to inhibit lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes was evaluated. The yield of hydrolysates from red sea cucumbers dried using each method was higher than that of the distilled water extract, and protein contents were either similar or higher. The hydrolysates that exhibited inhibitory effects on lipid accumulation, as demonstrated via Oil red O staining, were those obtained by far-infrared ray drying coupled with Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Kojizyme, or Neutrase treatment. In addition to the advantages of far-infrared drying and the characteristics of Flavourzyme, the Flavourzyme hydrolysate of far-infrared-dried red sea cucumber showed the highest inhibitory effect on lipid accumulation. In addition, this hydrolysate significantly decreased the expression of the protein factor fatty acid-binding protein 4, which is related to the late differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Taken together, these results suggest that Flavourzyme hydrolysates from farinfrared-dried red sea cucumber may be used as a functional food and/or a pharmaceutical ingredient for the inhibition of lipid accumulation.

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 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.

강정 반데기의 건조방법 개선과 건조시간을 단축하고자 열풍건조기와 원적외선건조기를 이용하여 건조 후 강정 반데기의 최적 수분함량을 결정하고 건조방법, 건조온도, 숙성유무 등의 건조조건을 달리하여 강정을 제조하였으며, 그에 따른 강정의 품질 특성을 물리적, 관능적 검사를 통하여 살펴보았다. 강정 반데기의 최적 수분함량은 17%로 나타났고 수분함량이 낮을수록 팽화도가 감소하고 조직감이 나빠지는 경향을 보였으며, 또한 강정 반데기의 균열이 많이 나타났다. 열풍건조에 비해 원적외선건조에 의해 20%정도의 건조시간 단축이 가능하였으며, 원적외선건조가 후반부의 가열효과가 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 열풍건조와 원적외선건조 모두 최저 풍속 0.4 m/s에서 팽화도와 조직감이 양호한 경향을 보여 풍속이 낮을수록 강정의 품질이 우수하였다. 4$0^{\circ}C$에서 건조한 강정 반데기로 튀긴 강정이 다른 온도에서 보다 높은 팽화도와 부드럽고 아삭아삭한 조직감을 나타내었고, 1차 숙성한 것과 숙성하지 않은 것 중 숙성하지 않은 것이 품질 및 시간 단축 면에서 양호하게 나타났으며, 또한 열풍건조보다 원적외선건조를 이용한 강정이 낮은 경도와 높은 brittleness를 나타내었고 시간 단축 효과도 나타났다. 관능검사 결과 열풍건조와 원적외선건조 모두 건조온도가 높을수록 경도는 증가하였고, 아삭아삭한 정도는 열풍건조에서는 6$0^{\circ}C$가 가장 높았으며, 원적외선에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었으며 대체적으로 높은 온도에서 강정 반데기를 건조시키면 단단하고 덜 아삭아삭한 강정 품질을 나타내었다. 강정의 미세구조 관찰에 있어서 유의적인 차이는 없으나, 4$0^{\circ}C$ 건조온도에서 원적외선건조를 이용한 경우 강정 내부의 기공 수가 가장 많았고, 기공의 둘레 및 면적이 적게 나타나 미세하고 균일한 기공을 가진 강정 내부 구조를 나타내었다. 따라서 열풍건조와 원적외선 건조를 이용하여 강정 제조시 강정 반데기의 최적 수분 함량은 17%였으며, 최적의 건조온도는 4$0^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 특히 원적외선건조를 이용하여 숙성하지 않고 4$0^{\circ}C$에서 강정 반데기를 건조시켜 제조한 강정의 품질이 가장 우수하였으므로 최적의 건조조건이라 할 수 있다.
