Effects of different drying processes, such as hot air drying (HA), superheated steam with hot air drying (SHS/HA), and superheated steam with far infrared radiation (SHS/FIR), on the properties of cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) were studied. Characteristics of dried cherry tomatoes were determined by examining the water content, internal microstructure, and rehydration capacity under different drying processes. Moreover, ascorbic acid (AA) and lycopene levels were also measured to evaluate thermal damage caused by drying. Cherry tomatoes dried using both SHS/HA and SHS/FIR had water content and water activity similar to those of intermediate moisture food, indicating partial dehydration after combined drying processes. Although AA and lycopene levels decreased drastically after drying, tomatoes dried using SHS/FIR showed the lowest losses of AA and lycopene among samples. Cherry tomatoes dried using SHS/FIR showed a less compact internal cell structure than that of cherry tomatoes dried using HA and SHS/HA, resulting in the highest rehydration capacity. These results suggest that a combined drying process such as SHS/FIR is more effective than conventional hot air drying for the production of partially dried cherry tomatoes with improved quality attributes.

This study examined the effects of drying methods of Aronia melanocarpa on contents of total polyphenols and flavonoids, antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory activity. As a result, freeze-dried aronia extract (FDAE) significantly exhibited higher contents of total polyphenols and flavonoids (155.76 mg GAE/g and 105.70 mg QE/g) than hot-air dried aronia extract (HDAE) (134.93 mg GAE/g and 82.29 mg QE/g). Also, FDAE showed greater antioxidant activity than HDAE in both DPPH and ABTS. For anti-inflammatory activity, NO production from lipopolysaccharide activated RAW264.7 cell reduced at a dose-dependent manner in both FDAE and HDAE. However, reduction rate of NO production is higher in FDAE (62.7%) than in HDAE (33.5%). These results suggest that comparatively, freeze-drying is a better method for preserving the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and of aronia.

본 연구에서는 새로운 개념의 건조방법을 연구하여 곡물건조의 변화를 도모하고자 원적외선ㆍ열풍 복합열을 이용한 곡물건조기를 개발하게 되었다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 가. 방사체길이가 1,680mm일 때 보다 1,470mm일 때가 방사체 표면온도가 높게 나타났고, 안정적인 것으로 나타났다. 열풍온도를 5$0^{\circ}C$로 설정했을 때 방사체의 표면온도분포는 280-29$0^{\circ}C$을 유지하였고, 6$0^{\circ}C$일 때는 30$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 유지되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 두 조건 모두에서 온도편차는 크게 나타나지 않았으므로 균일 건조가 이루어지는 것을 의미하며, 곡물의 품질저하에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 판단된다. 나. 열풍온도 5$0^{\circ}C$, 조사거리 125mm, 방사체 길이 1,470mm에서 방사체 길이방향으로 위치에 따라서 온도편차를 측정했을 때 버너를 기점으로 해서 근거리에서부터 원거리까지 균등 분할하여 5점의 온도를 측정하여 그 변화곡선을 분석한 결과 위치 3에서 온도가 높았고, 계속해서 위치 4, 5, 2, 1순으로 나타났다. 버너의 근거리에서보다 원거리에서 온도가 높게 나타난 것은 원적외선방사체를 통과하는 열풍이 빠져나가도록 되어있는 열풍유동관이 버너 원거리에 위치하고 있어 버너에 불꽃이 점화되면서 열풍이 방사체 끝쪽으로 유동되기 때문이다. 다. 건조실 수직면 길이방향의 온도는 열풍공기가 열풍실에서 유입되는 하단부이 온도가 높게 나타났고, 버너쪽과 송풍기쪽의 온도차는 나타나지 않아 온도분포의 좌우 대칭이 잘 되어 균일 건조가 되는 것으로 판단된다 이러한 현상은 건조실의 수평면에 대해서도 같은 현상이 나타났다. 라. 바닥면에서 상부로 올라갈수록 낮은 온도분포를 나타내고 있는 것은 상부에는 외부공기가 유입되면서 온도가 떨어지는 반면 하부에는 외부공기 유입이 적기 때문으로 사료된다. 또한 열풍실의 길이방향 위치별 온도 분포에서도 같은 현상으로 나타났고, 버너쪽과 송풍기쪽의 온도편차는 나타나지 않아 균일 건조를 기대할 수 있다. 마. 열풍온도를 45$^{\circ}C$로 설정하고 조사거리와 방사체 길이를 각각 119, 1,470mm로 하여 벼의 건조성능시험을 열풍건조기(대비구)와 비교시험 결과 시험구에서 건감률, 건조소요에너지가 각각 0.58%(w.b.), 470kcal/kg - water로 대비구보다 각각 건감율은 23% 높았고, 건조소요에너지는 2%의 절감되었다. 바. 건조기에서 발생되는 소음은 버너쪽 근처에서는 대비구 94.12㏈의 87%에 불과하였으나, 거리가 멀어질수록 차이는 크지 않았다. 이것은 버너에서 멀어질수록 외부적인 요인이 소음에 영향을 미쳤기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 사. 시작기와 대비구간의 경제성에서 시작기의 구입가격이 20% 비싸기 때문에 시간당 고정비가 높았으나, 건조성능이 우수하여 건조비용이 69,350원/톤으로 대비구보다 14% 절감되는 것으로 나타났다.

In order to establish the optimal thawing condition of frozen fork, hot-air thawing and microwave thawing were evaluated at various conditions. In hot-air thawing, the higher the air temperature and the lower the meat surface temperature, the grater the thawing rate was. In microwave thawing, the grater the power and the lower the meat core temperature, the faster the thawing rate was. Comparing the two methods, microwave thawing was found to be significantly faster than hot-air thawing. TBA value and cooking loss were higher in hot-air thawing than that of refrigeration thawing or microwave thawing. Total extractable protein tended to be lower in hot-air thawing than that of the other two thawing methods. WHC decreased with the increase of hot-air and meat surface temperature whereas no significant difference was observed in microwave thawing regardless of the thawing conditions. Total microbial counts of thawed meat by the hot-air or microwave thawing were lower than that of refrigeration thawing.

To increase the shelf-life of domestic peach, peaches were treated with hot air ($46^{\circ}C$) for 0~9 hours and the changes in the major components contents and antioxidative activities were investigated. Ascorbic acid content of the control and hot air treatments were 13.81 mg% and 11.73~14.16 mg% respectively, however, there was no significant difference between them. The contents of polyphenols of the control and hot air treatments were 22.64 mg% and 19.03~23.19 mg% respectively, but there was no significant difference between them. The contents of polyphenols of the control were slightly lower than those of hot air treatments during storage. Also the contents of flavonoid were not significantly different among the control and hot air treatments. The detected free sugars of the control and hot air treatments were fructose, glucose, maltose and sucrose. Among the free sugars detected, sucrose content was the highest and free sugar content did not change during storage periods. Furthermore, antioxidative activities were not different among the control and hot air treatments.

The present study was undertaken to determine the changes of physicochemical and antioxidant activity using leaf and root in hot air-dried Allium hookeri (HA) and freeze-dried Allium hookeri (FA). The leaf of HA was higher level of moisture and crude fat compared with those of the leaf of FA. The crude fat content in root of HA was higher than that in FA. However, moisture, crude ash, crude protein and carbohydrate did not show any differences between two different drying methods. The organic acid contents of Allium hookeri root including oxalic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, formic acid, acetic acid showed the differences between hot air-drying and freeze-drying methods. The major minerals were Ca, K and Mg, which were higher level of the leaf of HA compared with those of FA. The leaf of HA showed the highest vitamin C content (801.65 mg/100 g). The content of vitamin E in the leaf of FA was higher than that of HA. The contents of total polyphenol and total flavonoid in the FA leaf were higher than that in HA. The DPPH radical-scavenging activity in leaf of HA (65.73%) was significantly higher than that of FA (57.73%).

본 연구에서는 원적외선.열풍 복합건조특성을 구명하기 위하여 건조용량 150-500kg이고, 승강기, 상.하부스크류, 건조실, 템퍼링실, 송풍기 및 가열장치로 구성된 시뮬레이터를 제작하여 건조특성시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 가. 열풍온도에 따른 곡온변화를 시험한 결과 열풍온도 45$^{\circ}C$일 때 곡온 32-33$^{\circ}C$를 유지하였으며, 48, 51$^{\circ}C$일 때는 곡온이 35$^{\circ}C$가 넘어서는 현상을 나타났다. 건조중 곡온이 35$^{\circ}C$를 넘어서게 되면 동할미 발생량이 많아지고 품질저하가 급격히 일어난다. 나. 템퍼링실의 온도편차가 2,5$^{\circ}C$ 정도로 고른 온도분포를 나타내었고, 버너 입구쪽과 템퍼링실 중앙지점에서 온도가 약간 높게 나타났으며, 원적외선방사체 표면온도분포는 열풍온도가 45$^{\circ}C$일 때 평균 17$0^{\circ}C$를 유지하였고, 48$^{\circ}C$, 51$^{\circ}C$일 때 각각 22$0^{\circ}C$, 23$0^{\circ}C$에서 유지하는 것으로 나타났다. 다. 원적외선방사체 길이방향으로 온도편차는 버너를 기준으로 해서 버너쪽에서 멀수록 온도가 높았고, 중간, 근거리 순으로 나타났다. 버너의 원거리쪽에서 온도가 높게 나타난 것은 원적외선방사체를 통과하는 열풍이 빠져나가도록 되어있는 열풍 유동관이 버너 원거리에 위치하고 있어 버너에 불꽃이 점화되면서 열풍이 방사체 끝쪽으로 일시 머물렀다가 배출되기 때문으로 판단된다. 라. 건조기의 송풍량을 요인으로 하여 건조속도와 건조에너지를 비교한 결과 송풍량이 30cmm일 때가 25cmm에서보다 약 33%의 건조속도가 증가되어 송풍량이 많을수록 건조속도가 빨라졌으나, 건조에너지는 1,391kcal/kg.water로 나타나 약 4.2%정도가 더 소요 되었다. 곡물순환속도를 요인으로 하여 비교 시험한 결과 곡물순환속도가 33kg/min일때가 26kg/min보다 약 25%의 건조속도가 증가되어 곡물의 순환속도가 빠를수록 건조속도가 빨라졌으며, 건조에너지도 1,334kcal/kg.water로 비슷하게 소요되었다. 마. 시험구와 대비구의 건감률은 시험구에서 1.08~1.36w.b./h로 나타나 대비구보다 약 9.9~18.3%가 높게 나타났고, 건조에너지는 10.2~14.6%가 절감되었다. 발아율은 열풍온도가 낮을수록 높게 나타났고 시험구가 대비구보다 발아율이 낮게 나타났으며, 동할률 증가량도 원적외선.열풍 복합건조방법이 높게 나타나 이것은 곡물 표면에 원적외선 방사에의한 복사열이 전달되어 열장해를 받았기 때문으로 판단되며, 금후 더 연구하여 적정 열풍온도 및 방사체 크기를 구명해야 할 것이다.

This study was carried out to investigate drying methods for keeping freshness and active components of aerial part of Saururus chinensis. Chopped samples were prepared using hot air drying, hot air drying + roasting, presteamed + hot air drying, freeze drying, and sun drying. Drying time was shorter $88{\sim}93%$ in hot air drying and freeze drying than in sun drying. Percentage of dry matter was higher in the order of freeze drying > sun drying > hot air drying, and moisture content in the order of sun drying > hot air drying > freeze drying. The contents of total phenolics and quercetin related substances were greater in the order of freeze drying > hot air drying > sun drying, while were decreased due to treatments before or after hot air drying. Electron donating ability (EDA) was highest in freeze drying, and showed a little difference between hot air drying and sun drying, but was increased because of treatments before or after hot air drying. In color values, the a value was lower in the order of freeze drying < hot air drying < sun drying. The contents of active components of plant parts of hot air dried were higher in the order of flower >leaf > chopped sample > stem. EDA showed similar tendency with those. The a value was lower in the order of leaf < chopped sample < flower < stem. As a result, freeze drying of chopped samples or hot air drying of leaf and flower were effective to maintain qualities of aerial part of Saururus chinensis.
