Physicochemical properties of safflower sprouts grown in there different lights red, blue, and white; control exposed to limited light and subjested to different drying processes were investigated. Moisture contents of safflower sprouts grown different lights and treated with hot dry air were as follows: 9.38%(white light), 5.70%(blue light), 12.21%(red light), and 7.84%(control; no light). The moisture contents of freeze-dried safflower sprouts were as follow as: 9.95%(white light), 11.30%(blue light), 11.25%(red light), and 10.45%(control). Crude ash contents of the hot air-dried sprouts were as follows: 4.82%(white light), 12.22%(blue light), 4.33%(red light), and 6.30%(control). The crude ash contents of freeze-dried safflower sprouts were as follow as: 4.75%(white light), 4.44%(blue light), 4.00%(red light), and 3.65% (control). Crude protein contents of hot air-dried safflower sprouts were as follows: 16.52%(white light) 15.40%(blue light), 14.55%(red light), and 15.46%(control). The crude ash contents of freeze-dried safflower sprouts were as follows: 25.19%(white light), 15.72%(blue light), 25.53%(red light), and 20.13%(control). Chlorophyll contents of hot air-dried and freeze-dried safflower sprouts were higher than those of only freeze-dried sprouts. b-values of freeze-dried sprouts were lower than those of sprouts dried by other dried methods. The contents of minerals Ca, Mg, Na, P and K in all the sprout samples remains unchanged regardless of the drying methods.

Bacterial mutagenicity of shellfish or canned products of red-muscle fish affected by hot-airdry processings and/or during storages was investigated by Ames preincubation method. Mussel (Mytilus edulis) and surf clam (Tapes japonica) dried under either 40$\circ$C, 50$\circ$C or 60$\circ$C until remained about 25 % water content was stored at 4$\circ$C or 25$\circ$C for 6 months. Commercially available canned product of pacific saury (Cololabis saira) and mackerel saury (Scotnberjaponicus), whose producer or date of manufacture was identical each other, was stored at 25$\circ$C for 6 months. Mutagenic substances from sample (25 g dry weight) were extracted and purified for mutagenicity assay against S. typhitnurium TA98 by the simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE) method (Lee et al. 1955). Mutagenicity of sample was expressed number of revertant per 25 g dry sample. Number of revertant from unheated mussel sample was appeared to be 135, relative to 22 from unheated surf clam sample. Mutagenicity of both shellfish was strongly affected by heat treatment, but a lesser extent by storage conditions, even at 25$\circ$C for 6 months. Revertants of the mussel sample dried at 40$\circ$C, 50$\circ$C, or 60$\circ$C was found to be 227, 779, and 883, respectively. Similar, but lower, mutagenicity was observed from the sample of surf clam dried at 40$\circ$C, 50$\circ$C, or 60$\circ$C than mussel. Mutagenicity of canned pacific saury and mackerel samples was not influenced by storage conditions. Number of revertant from pacific saury was 175 which was relatively higher than 5 from mackerel. Mutagenicity of fresh pacific saury and mackerel samples was significantly higher than that of their counterparts from canned products. These results indicate that mutagenicity of the shellfish was affected by heat treatment (40$\circ$C, 50$\circ$C, or 60$\circ$C) used for drying process, but not much by storage for 6 months at 4$\circ$C or 25$\circ$C and the mutagenicity of canned products of red-muscle fish was not influenced by storage, even at 25$\circ$C for 6 months.

KAERI has developed DUPIC nuclear fuel with the refabrication of spent PWR fuel discharged from domestic nuclear power plant by a dry process at M6 hot-cell in IMEF To verify the performance of DUPIC nuclear fuel, irradiation test at the operating conditions of commercial power plant is essential. Since the HANARO research reactor of KAERI does not have fuel test loop(FTL) for irradiating nuclear fuel under high temperature and high pressure conditions, DUPIC fuel cannot be irradiated in the FTL of HANARO. In the 13-th PRM among Korea, Canada, USA and IAEA, AECL proposed that KAERI fabricated DUPIC fuel can be irradiated in the FTL of the NRU research reactor without charge of neutrons. The transportation quantity of DUPIC fuel to Canada is 10 elements(about 6kg). This transportation package is classified as the 7-th class according to "recommendation on the transport of dangerous goods" made by the United Nations. In case of air shipment, until now, there is no proper air transportation cask for DUPIC fuel. In case of sea transportation is possible but requires very high cost.high cost.

Studies were carried out to determined the optimal conditions of processing and changes in trypsin indigestible substrate(TIS) and in vitro protein digestibility of paddy grasshopper(Oxya chinensis formosana) under various drying conditions. The multienzyme assy and amino acid compositions were used to predict the quality changes of dried products. The in vitro protein digestidility of defatted products were higher than that of sun and hot air dried products. This results indicated that heat processing is decreased the digestibility, but is increased the TIS contents of dried samples. Amino acid composition of the products was comparable to the ANRC casein scoring pattern. The protein was espeoially low in the amount of lysine, tryptophan and methionine, but high in the quantity of aspartic acid, glutamic acid and arginine indicating that it could be a difference of the dry processing. C-PER and DC-PER were 2.65 and 2.44, respectively, in the defatted and freeze dried products and 2.49 and 2.30, respectively, in hot air dried products. From the these results, it could be confirmed that defatted and freeze dried products might be utilized with feed or foodstuff, unless the toxic substances were no longer detectable.

Recently, the Tenebrio molitor larva was recognized as a novel food ingredient by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in Korea. Accordingly, we investigated its physical and sensory characteristics to establish the cooking conditions that may increase the demand of T. molitor larvae as a food. In this study, T. molitor larvae were cooked by various methods such as hot air dry, oven-broil, roast, pan fry, deep fry, boil, steam, and by microwave. In the physical evaluation of texture, the hardness and fracturability values were highest when larvae were cooked in the microwave. The adhesiveness, springiness, and chewiness values were highest when larvae were boiled. Boiled and steamed larvae had the highest lightness (L value), while oven-broiled larvae had the highest redness (a value) and yellowness (b value) values. Sensory evaluations assessed the appearance, aroma, flavor, and texture of cooked T. molitor larvae. Steamed and boiled larvae sizes were significantly large and the form was well preserved similar to fresh larvae. The moisture heat cooked (steamed and boiled) T. molitor larvae had the aroma and flavor of steamed corn, canned pupa, and boiled mushroom. In case of oven-broiled T. molitor larvae, the aroma and flavor of mealworm oil, seafood, sweet and roasted sesame were higher than in those cooked by other methods. In texture among sensory evaluation, the hardness and crispiness were the highest in the hot air dried and oven-broiled larvae, whereas juiciness was significantly higher in the boiled and steamed. Accordingly, we suggest that oven-broiled T. molitor larva will be prefered by consumer, due to its the rich aroma and flavor.

Pectin, hesperidin and naringin were extracted from hot air-dried peel ($60^{\circ}C$, 1 hr and air velocity 160 fpm) of citrus produced in Korea in order to see the amount of each component contained in the peel. Pectin was extracted by three different methods and the quality and contents of the pectins were determined respectively. 1. The pectin yield by the total pectic substance method was the highest (26.0% for unshiu (U) and 28.5% for natsudaidai (N) expectedly and the soluble pectic substance method the least (13.5%(U) and 15.6% (N)) The yield by method III (extraction by water at pH 1.5 followed by isopropanol precipitation) was intermediate (18.1% (U) and 20.8%(N)). Anhydrouronic acid (AUA) content was the highest (92.0% (U) and 90.3%(N)) in those by method III. The AUA contents of the other pectins were 80.0% for soluble pectin (for both U and N), 71.6% for the commercial pectin (Sunkist Groups Inc., U.S.A.), 58.0%(N) and 63.4%(U) for total pectic substance. 2. The methoxyl content of total pectic substance was the lowest (4.81%(U) and 4.88%(N)). However, there was no significant difference in methoxyl content among the rest which were found to have low levels(5.27-7.20%). 3. The pectin by method III gave the highest jelly strength. The commercial pectin, soluble pectice substance and total pectic substance were next in order. 4. The hesperidin content of unshiu was 5.07% (dry basis) and the naringin content of natsudaidai 3.03% (dry basis).

Effect of drying methods, such as natural solar drying, hot air drying$(at\;60^{\circ}C\;and\;105^{\circ}C)$, vacuum drying and freeze drying methods, on the quality of laver were investigated to develop optimum processing conditions for preparation of laver powder. Appreciable amount of laver pigments such as chlorophyll, carotenoid and phycobilin were lost during washing and drying process. Their loss was affected significantly by the method of drying. Among the methods tested, high temperature air drying was the worst in retaining laver pigment, while freeze drying was the best. Loss of vitamin C which was in the range of 75-99% was also affected by the method of drying. Isotherms for laver powder shelved sigmoidal shape and monomolecular layer moisture content of both laver powder(Porphyra dentata and Porphyra tenera) determined by the BET equation was 6.30%(dry basis). Laver powders prepared with Porphyra dentata and classified with 50-, 80- and 100- mesh sieves showed monomodal size distribution with the high frequency at 110-120, 100-110 and $80\;{\mu}m$, respectively, which indicated that size or laver powder was homogeneous.

File fish Navodon modestus was dehydrated in cabinet type hot-sir drier at $48-50^{\circ}C$ for 11 hours and also yellowfin puffer Fugu xanthopterum was dried in open air at $26-28^{\circ}C$ for 30 hours. Nucleotides and their related compounds were collected by extraction with cold perchloric acid and their amounts were determined by anion exchange column chromatography. The contents of ADP, IMP, ATP and hypoxanthine in fresh file fish muscle were 22.9, 12.1, 4.9, and 3.2 ${\mu}mole/g,$ dry wt. respectively. AMP and inosine were 0.9 ${\mu}mole/g,$ dry wt. equally. In fresh yellowfin puffer muscle, the contents of ADP, ATP, AMP, inosine and hypoxanthine were 25.6, 2.4, 1.6, 0.3, 0.6, and 0.4 ${\mu}mole/g,$ dry wt. respectively. In the case of file fish, ADP and ATP tended to degrade rapidly during hot-air dehydration. The contents of IMP were decreased slightly while AMP and inosine were increased. And another case of yellowfin puffer, ADP also tended to degrade rapidly during sun drying while AMP, IMP, inosine and hypoxanthine were increased. Especially, in both case of file fish and yellowfin puffer, inosine was increased twenty five and thirty five times during drying respectively.

In Korea, summer is hot and humid, and air-conditioners consume lots of electricity. In such case, simultaneous usage of indirect evaporative cooler may reduce the sensible heat and save the electricity. In this study, heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of indirect evaporative cooler made of aluminum, plastic, plastic/paper are investigated both under dry or wet condition. Results show that indirect evaporation efficiencies of the plastic/paper sample (38.5% ~ 51.4%) are approximately the same as those of the aluminum sample (41.9% ~ 47.5%), and are larger than those of the plastic sample (29.0% ~ 37.4%). This suggests that the plastic/paper sample could be a good substitute to the aluminum sample. However, the pressure drops across the paper channel are 92% ~ 106% larger than those across the aluminum channel. The heat transfer coefficients of the paper channel under dry condition are 15% ~ 44% larger than those of the plastic channel. The increases are 185% ~ 203% for the aluminum channel. The pressure drops of the paper channel are 34% ~ 48% larger than those of the plastic channel and 93% ~ 106% larger than those of the aluminum channel. Rigorous heat transfer analysis reveals that, for the plastic sample, 30% ~ 37% of the wet channels remain dry, whereas all the channels are wet for plastic/paper sample. For aluminum sample, the ratio is 17% ~ 23%.
