In this study, a commercial production stepwise method for restorative rice with high quality and microbial safety was developed. The stepwise treatment method included steaming, refrigerated aging, and low temperature drying. The soaking rice was steamed twice at $90-100^{\circ}C$, and then, the rice was aged at $0-10^{\circ}C$, frozen at $-20^{\circ}C$, and dried at low temperatures with 5 m/s wind speed at $1-20^{\circ}C$ and 85% relative humidity. Applying the three steps improved sensory qualities compared with the conventional hot air drying and made storage at room temperature for 3 months possible. Specifically, the moisture content of the restorative rice was increased to 30%, which was 4.3 times higher than the 7% of the conventional air dried rice, and the rice grain shape was well maintained. The texture and appearance of the three-step rice were significantly improved (p<0.05) in a sensory evaluation.

To investigate physiochemical characteristics of Liriope platyphylla tubers by various drying process, proximate constitute, levels of free sugar, organic acid, free amino acid, crude saponin and spicatoside A were analyzed. Drying methods included hot-air drying (DLR, $60^{\circ}C$, 48 hr) and roasting after hot-air drying (RDLR, roasting at $180^{\circ}C$ for 15 min). The moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, ash and NFE (nitrogen free extract) contents of FLR (fresh Liriope platyphylla tuber) were 69.99%, 1.85%, 0.02%, 0.79%, and 27.35%, respectively. The most abundant proximate component of DLR and RDLR was NFE, of which the contents in both sample were 80.09% and 86.07%, respectively. The major free sugars in DLR and RDLR was oligosaccharide II as 56$\sim$57% and the major organic acid was malic acid as 3.06$\sim$3.34%, respectively. In free amino acid, the major amino acid of FLR, DLR and RDLR was serine with contents of 477.41 mg%, 1394.88 mg%, and 180.33 mg%, respectively. The level of serine was significantly decreased by roasting process. The level of crude saponin in FLR, DLR and RDLR were 3.52%, 8.41%, and 10.15%, respectively.

The purpose of the present study is to provide preliminary data for turning sweetpotato leaves into dehydrated vegetables. To achieve this goal, we have gone through the process of hot-air drying the leaves of sweetpotato that are usually thrown away and examined the drying speed and rehydration resilience, then made a comparative analysis of the general ingredients, lutein, $\beta$-carotene and chromaticity. The drying speed reached the peak at a temperature of $70^{\circ}C$. As for other general ingredients, there was no significant difference according to temperature. The content of lutein, which is a functional ingredient, was large in Shinmi with $171.59{\mu}g/g$ at a temperature of $40^{\circ}C$; small in Hayanmi with $73.75{\mu}g/g$ at a temperature of $70^{\circ}C$. The content of $\beta$-carotene was large in Shinmi with $379.59{\mu}g/g$ at a temperature of $40^{\circ}C$; small in Hayanmi with $170.78{\mu}g/g$ at a temperature of $70^{\circ}C$. The content of functional materials was the largest at a temperature of $40^{\circ}C$, and decreased in the order of temperatures at $50^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, and $70^{\circ}C$. As for rehydration stability, rehydration rate in both Shinmi and Hayanmi was the highest at a temperature of $40^{\circ}C$ with 233.93% and 223.47% respectively. To summarize, the quality of dried sweet potato leaf was more affected by temperature than by drying time, and low temperature drying resulted in better product value.

Dried alaska pollack is one of the representatives among dried marine fish and shellfish products in our country. This study was performed to obtain the basic data about the effect of drying method on the formation of N-nitrosamine and its precursor to ensure the safety of dried alaska pollack. The contents of nitrate and nitrite were detected 1.5 and <1.0 mg/kg in raw samples, and $3.0\~4.2,\;1.4\~2.7mg/kg$ in dried products, respectively. There was no significant change of betaine contents during drying while TMAO decreased, TMA and DMA increased in alaska pollack during d교ing. N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was only detected in alaska pollack and its dried products, and recovery from above samples spiked with $10{\mu}/kg$ for N-nitrosodipropylamine was $87.2\~107.4\%$. The levels of NDMA were found to be $2.8{\mu}/kg$ on an average in raw samples, but the levels of NDMA increased remarkably during drying of alaska pollack and its content in dried products was $8.7\~51.4{\mu}g/kg$. Regardless of drying methods, NDMA tend to increased in dried products, and its contents were 15.5 times higher in hot-air dried than raw samples, 9.0 times in sun dried and 4.4 times in freeze dried products. less NDMA was produced in the freeze dried products, so it is believed that freeze drying method is effective to decrease the NDMA levels in the dried products of alaska pollack.

An investigation was carried out to study the effects of aging time, storage temperature, and drying type on the physical, chemical and sensory properties of Korean rice cake. Water content and cooking properties were significantly influenced by aging time and storage temperature. However, aging time did not affect the soup turbidity. Difference in water content was noticeable by drying type. The microwave treated rice cake (MW) showed a higher water content than the other ones. The lightness (L-value) was not affected by the aging time and drying type. Rice cake storaged at 4oC showed the highest L-value. The textural properties of rice cake were influenced by the all sources of variables. There was a significant difference in hardness between microwave and hot air treated rice cake (MWH), and microwave and vacuum treated rice cake (MWV). In the sensory properties, mean intensities of all attributes except chewiness were significantly different among drying types. The MWV showed a higher acceptability than the MW and the MWH. Scanning electron photomicrographs revealed that the MWV has more porous structure. The MWV was the most desirable one as determined by the physical, chemical and sensory evaluation.

The physiological activities of 70% ethanol extracts of grape seed (GS) prepared by freeze-drying (GSFD), infrared drying (GSIR), hot-air drying (GSHD), or sun-drying (GSSD) were investigated. The moisture contents of GSFD, GSIR, GSHD and GSSD powders were 4.53, 6.71, 6.91 and 5.55% respectively. Hunter's color value analysis revealed that the $L^*$ value of GSIR was lower, and the $a^*$ and $b^*$ values of GSIR were higher, than those of GSFD, GSHD, and GSSD. The total polyphenol and proanthocyanidin contents of GSFD were significantly higher than those of the other extracts. The flavonoid related substance contents were in the order of GSFD (7.68 g/100g) = GSSD (7.59 g/100g) = GSHD (7.33 g/100g) > GSIR (6.45 g/100g). The electron donating abilities of $500{\mu}g/mL$ solutions of GSFD, GSIR, GSHD and GSSD were 88.71, 52.62, 65.20, and 65.22%, respectively, while their reducing powers ($OD_{700}$) were 1.633, 1.097, 1.217 and 1.054 absorbance units, respectively. Additionally, the same trend was observed for the ABTS radical-scavenging abilities of the extracts as that observed for their electron-donating abilities and reducing powers. These results suggest that GSFD is the best method for preparing GS extracts with enhanced antioxidant activities, and that GS extracts may be used as a natural antioxidant material for use in health foods.

In order to prevent the environmental pollution, the dryers are commonly used to treat sludge that one of sewages is polluting the quality of water. Generally, the drying method is various as to the property of material and use. Rotary dryer is a good apparatus to treat them. The rotary dryer is the way that is to make substance transmission and heating using hot air between sludge particles and heated gas. In this paper, we performed a numerical analysis of the inner air flow of the 3-pass rotary dryer through the changing rotational speed from 3rpm to 10rpm. In this result, we found that 3rpm is effective to dry material in terms of heat transfer because large scale velocity fluctuation is occurred inside the first and second drum. Also we confirmed that 5rpm and 8rpm showed up uniform flow at the center area of the first drum.

Ginger was dried using maltodextrin or recycled dehydration liquid as dehydrating agents, and the quality of dried ginger was compared with that of freeze-dried and hot-air-dried samples in terms of color, moisture content, water activity, dehydration rate, rehydration rate, and sensory properties. Ginger prepared using molecular press dehydration (MPD) retained its original color. The dehydration rate increased when ginger was dried using a dehydrating agent. The rehydration rate was increased in ginger dried using such an agent. Both dehydration and rehydration rates were elevated with increasing concentrations of soluble solids in the dehydration liquid. The sensory qualities of ginger prepared using the MPD method were better than those of freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples. These results indicate that drying of ginger rhizomes using recycled dehydrating liquid is very efficient.

The cooked surf clam meat was treated with BHA or EDTA, and then dehydrated by means of hot-air dehydration or sun drying. The dehydrated products were packed in glass bottle and stored for three months in the dark place. After three month storage, the pigment loss and water absorbing capacity of dehydrated products were compared with those of directly after dehydration. Both of the sun dried and hot-air dehydrated surf clam products showed a great deal of pigment loss during storage. The BHA treatment prior to dehydration of surf clam meat had good effects on the pigment retention, and the EDTA treatment had a weak effect on it during storage. The rate of rehydration of dehydrated surf clam products had markedly decreased during storage. And it could be seen that there was little difference among the rate of rehydration of the BHA or EDTA treated product and untreated one during storage.

The levels of reducing sugars, organic acids and fatty acids, known as precursors of major flavors induced from dried sellfish, were analyzed to investigate their behaviors during drying process. Free reducing sugar contents were markedly decreased in all samples by boiling, Its content in Blue mussel and Short-necked calm samples significantly decreased after drying process. Among the eight different organic acids from blue mussel, Short-necked calm and Pacific oyster samples, succinic acid in blue mussel and short-necked calm samples was measured with $74.9\%\;and\;67.4\%$, respectively. In the sample of Pacific oyster, succinic acid content was found to be $38.4\%$, but pyroglutamic acid content was the highest level with $41.6\%$. Contents of organic acids with exception succinic acid were significantly reduced in all three samples of sun-dried or hot-air dried. The content of succinic acid in the samples of sun-dried and hot-air dried pacific oyster reduced to $53.0\%\;and\;44.2\%$, respectively, but relatively small decrease $(29.0\%\;and\;10.0\%)$ was observed in sun-dried and hot-air dried short-necked calm samples, respectively. Content of polar lipid with the major fatty acids profile of C16:0, C16:1, C20:5 and C22:6 was consisted of $59.1\%,\;66.7\%\;and\;42.4\%$, respectively, in blue mussel, short-necked calm and pacific oyster samples and the content of polyene fatty acids was appeared to be $40.5\%,\;48.6\%\;and\;48.9\%$, respectively. Relatively high peroxide value in all boiled-dried products samples was found to be $41.64\~86.80\;meq/kg$ sample. Carbonyl value in boiled-dried products samples was found to be $15.55\~27.99\;meq/kg$, but its value in broiled products samples was significantly high level of $127.6\~136.5\;meq/kg$.
