This study was carried out in order to investigate oxidative deterioration during dehydration at $40^{\circ}C,\;50^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$ of sea mussel and baby clam. Moisture content was decreased with drying temperature and time. Sea mussel was dehydrated more rapidly than baby clam that had Harder muscle tissue. Both samples were not reached to Aw 0.62 in case of 10 hrs drying at $40^{\circ}C$, But it reached within 8 hrs in sea mussel and 10 hrs in baby clam at $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. Even if $60^{\circ}C$ could speed up drying, it caused to form more free fatty acid, peroxide, thiobarbituric acid and brown pigments. Lipophilic brown pigment was 10 times higher than hydrophilic and actively increased in all samples. fluorescence intensity was also increased with drying temperature and time. Particularly, it was higher sea mussel than baby clam more or less.

This study was conducted to minimize the deterioration of dried kiwifruit quality. Osmotic dehydration was carried out as pretreatment before drying. After the kiwifruits were pretreated under optimized osmotic dehydration conditions, they were dried by three drying methods(hot air drying, vacuum drying, freeze drying). Hot air drying and vacuum drying were superior to freeze drying in the drying speed. But vacuum and freeze drying preserved more vitamin C than hot air drying. Also, osmotic dehydrated kiwifruit kept better quality than nontreated kiwifruit. Diffusion coefficient which describes moisture transfer, was high in drying process pretreated with osmosis. The changes of vitamin-C followed the second-order reaction rate equation with high RE, respectively.

Red pine (Pinus densiflora), white pine (Pinus koraiensis), larch (Larix leptolepis) and Western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) lumber were vacuum-press dried under three drying schedules to investigate current moisture contents (MC), drying rates and drying time factors related to five lumber thicknesses of 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11cm. Current MC could be estimated by drying factors such as lumber thickness, initial Me and drying time. Average drying rate from 30% to 15% Me was the highest for Western hemlock below fiber satuartion point, red pine, white pine and larch in the order of their magnitude. Drying rate curvilinearly decreased as lumber thickness increased. Drying time factor curvilinearly increased as lumber thickness increased.

Logs with average diameters of 20~30 cm were dried with microwave to investigate microwave drying characteristic of log and determine the optimal drying conditions. Microwave dryer with output of 20 kW was controlled with respect to the temperature of log during drying. Japanese red pine logs with average diameter of 281.9 mm were dried safely by microwave to below moisture content of 20% within 48 hours. Chinese toon logs showed serious surface checks during microwave drying. Higher drying rates were found with higher initial moisture content.

The primary purposes of this study are to understand a fundamental aspect of current uniformity around a reinforcing bar (rebar) in cement mortar, and to develop an accurate monitoring method in a wet-dry cycling process with the alternative current (AC) impedance method. Three cement mortar specimens with two embedded rebars were prepared in the laboratory. As a main variable, the distance between two rebars was designed to be 10, 20 and 30 mm with the same thickness of 20 mm. To simulate the corrosion of rebars in concrete structures in a marine environment, three cement mortar specimens were exposed to 15 wet-drying cycles (24-hour-immersion in seawater and 48-hour-drying in a room temperature) in the laboratory. It was observed that the potential level shifted to a noble value during corrosion potential monitoring, which is attributed to acceleration of dissolved oxygen diffusion at the drying process. AC impedance was measured in a frequency range from 100 kHz to 1 mHz on a wet-drying process. A theoretical model was proposed to explain the interface condition between the rebars and cement mortar by using the equivalent circuit consisting of a solution resistance, a charge transfer resistance and a CPE (constant phase element). It was observed that the diffusion impedance appeared in a low frequency range as corrosion of rebars progresses. At the drying stage of the wet-drying cycles, the currents line for monitoring tended to be non-uniform at the interface of rebar/mortar, being phase shift, ${\theta}$, close to $-45^{\circ}$.

The drying characteristics of fluidized bed drying with different drying conditions using naked barley were carried out. This fluidized drying mechanism of naked barley was consisted of consecutive two falling rate parts, first falling rate period and second falling rate period without showing constant rate period. The drying rate constant was increased with decreasing charged amount and relative humidity and increasing air temperature and air velocity. Since the drying rate constant expressed by Arrhenius type equation in the falling rate period showed good linearity, the falling rate period was considered as the controlling step. The activation energy of first falling step was 1,900 cal/gmol, while for second falling step the values showed 2,500 cal/gmol.

본 연구는 현재 국내 농촌에서 문제시되고 있는 벼의 건조와 저장방법을 개선하기위한 한 가지 방법으로써 Grain bin의 이용에 따른 기술적인 적용가능성을 구명하는데 있었으며 건조열원으로서는 상온공기와 Solar collector 에 의한 보충가열공기를 사용하였다. 건조시험에서는 벼의 건조속도, 층별함수율의 변화, 동력소모량, 도청수율 등을 측정 비교하였으며 건조가 완료된 후에는 저장시험도 아울러 실시하였다. 본 시험을 통하여 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 본시험에 사용된 Solar Collector 는 집열면적이 $27.7m^2M$의 Flat-plate 형식이며 내부에 태양열의 저장모체로서 약 $7m^2M$의 검은 돌을 사용하였다. Collector 의 효율은 35%이었으며 Collector를 통과하여 Bin으로 들어가는 공기의 온도는 외기온에 비하여 주간에는 약 $4^\circ C$, 야간에는 약 $8^\circ C$, 정도 상승된 것으로 나타났다. 2. 상온공기와 Collector를 이용한 건조험결과 안전저장함수율에 도달하는 데 약 7일과 약 5일이 소요되었다. 3. 태양열 건조는 상온통풍건조에 비하여 곡물층간의 함수율차이가 약간 크게 나타났으나 건조속도가 빠를뿐만 아니라 동력소모량도 적은 것으로 분석되었다. 4. 건조시험이 완료된 직후 이차에 걸쳐 Bin 내에서 저장시험을 실시한 결과 저장기간중 벼의 안전보전이 가능했으며 평균함수율이 12.0~14.5%범위에서 유지되었다.

The fresh threshed paddy-mat dryings on the various environments were analyzed on their drying characteristics and rice quality resulted. The moisture content of paddy was mainly determined by the accumulated solar energy received, and which was expressed as a simple equation. The drying characteristics revealed to follow a constant rate drying type, and as the depth increased the more typical constant-rate drying pattern was observed. The relationship between the drying rate and bed depth was established with a simple exponential equation. The raking operation during the drying period showed a favorable effect both on the drying rate and the reduction of crack formation. Drying environments such as straw mat, concrete, ground, polyethylene film did not affect significantly the drying rate and rice quality. Considering the drying rate and quality, the optimum bed depth of mat paddy drying was around 6 cm.

This study was conducted to develop intermediate material for new processed food from sweet pumpkin. Osmotic dehydration was carried out as pretreatment before drying. After the sweet pumpkins were pretreated under optimized osmotic dehydration conditions, they were dried by three drying methods (hot air drying, vacuum drying and cold air drying). The moisture contents of dried sweet pumpkin products by osmosis treatment (sucrose) and hot air drying, vacuum drying, and cold air drying were 14.48, 14.09 and 13.87%, respectively. Cold air drying preserved more vitamin C content and showed lower color difference than hot air drying and vacuum drying. As a result of microscopic analysis, cold air dried sweet pumpkin was observed regular tissue, while hot air and vacuum dried sweet pumpkins were observed a cell collapse following the loss of water.
