In this study, the quality changes of Hoelen was investigated, which were color differences, browning degrees, total phenolic compounds and electron donating abilities to optimize drying condition using hot air and far infrared drying by changing conditions such as temperatures, air velocities and radiation distances. In color values, ${\Delta}b\;value$ decreased with increasing temperatures, while ${\Delta}L$, ${\Delta}a$ and ${\Delta}E\;value$ increased. The browning degrees showed the similar tendency with the color values. Total phenolic components of Hoelen decreased with increasing drying temperature and air velocity, and decreasing radiation distance. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the changes of electron donating abilities (EDA) of Hoelen among drying methods and conditions. As a result, the hot air drying was more effective method than the far infrared was.

The purpose of this study was to develop a drying method of Gangjung. a traditional Korean snack, thus to reduce the drying time and to improve the quality of Gangjung. Two drying methods, hot air drying and far infrared ray drying were used by changing conditions such as air velocity(0.4, 1.2, 1.6 m/s), temperature(40, 50, 60$\^{C}$), and aging. Optimal moisture content of dried Gangjung pellet was 17% which was proper for frying. Cracks appeared on the surface of Gangjung pellet at lower levels of moisture content. Far infrared ray drying saved drying time about 20%. Both hot air drying and far infrared ray drying at 0.4 m/s of air velocity tended to show better quality of Gangjung than those dried at higher air velocities. The expansion volume and texture of Gangjung drying at 40$\^{C}$ was better than other temperature conditions, regardless of drying methods. Quality of Gangjung, dried at single stage without aging, was superior to those dried at double stage including aging process. Moreover, single stage drying save the drying time at least 24 hr. Gangjung dried at high temperature became hard and less brittle in sensory evaluation. In image analysis, air cell distribution in inner structure of Gangjung became uniform and fine as drying temperature decreased to 40$\^{C}$. Overall, Gangjung made of Gangjung pellet by the use of far infrared ray drying at 40$\^{C}$ without aging, showed the best quality in terms of physical and sensory properties.

쌀 소비량은 생활 수준 향상과 외식 및 식품 산업의 발달로 감소하고, 고품질 쌀을 요구하는 성향이 높아지고 있다. 현재, 고품질 쌀을 생산할 수 있는 기술과 제반 요건은 구비되어 있으나, 수확 후 건조·저장 중에 쌀의 품질이 저하된다. 특히 건조 중 품질 저하는 고온건조에 의한 동할 발생 및 과건조가 주요 원인이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 원적외선 건조 시스템에 관한 연구가 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 방사율이 높고, 접착성 및 내열성 등이 강한 곡물 건조기용 방사체 코팅원료를 개발하고, 이 원료를 원적외선 방사체에 코팅한 후 방사체의 형태와 크기에 따라 표면 온도 분포 및 연료 소비량 등을 측정 분석하여 방사체의 특성과 적정 조건을 규명하고자 하였다. 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 세라믹 코팅 원료의 배합비는 세라믹분말 40%와 결합재 60%가 접착력과 가열경화 후 표면이 양호한 것으로 나타났다. (2) 노즐의 유량 및 분무각에 따른 버너의 화염길이 및 폭은 노즐유량이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. (3) 방사체 위치별 표면온도편차는 방사체 길이가 1350mm인 것이 작은 것으로 나타났고, 열풍유동관 직경이 Rounding type의 경우 76.3mm, Right angle type의 경우 89.1mm일 때 표면 온도편차가 적었다. (4) 연료소비량은 열 풍유동관 직경이 클수록, 방사체 길이가 길수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, Right angle type이 Rounding type에 비하여 연료소비량이 약간 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to verify the drying characteristics of steamed sweet potato and to establish optimal drying conditions for far-infrared drying of steamed sweet potato. 4 kg of steamed sweet potato was sliced to thicknesses of 8 and 10 mm, and dried by a far-infrared dryer until a final moisture content of $25{\pm}0.5%$. The far-infrared dryer conditions were an air velocity of 0.6, 0.8 m/s and drying temperature of 60, 70, and $80^{\circ}C$. The results can be summarized as follows. The drying time tended to be reduced as temperature and air velocity for drying increased. The Lewis and Modified Wang and Singh models were found to be suitable for drying of steamed sweet potato by a far-infrared dryer. The color difference was 35.09 on the following conditions: Thickness of 8 mm, temperature of $80^{\circ}C$, and air velocity of 0.8 m/s. The highest sugar content ($59.11^{\circ}Brix$) was observed on the conditions of a thickness of 8 mm, temperature of 80, and air velocity of 0.8 m/s. Energy consumption decreased on the conditions of higher temperature, slower air velocity, and thinner steamed sweet potato.

원적외선 세라믹 건조기를 개발하기 위하여 탄화규소가 주원료로한 세라믹 발열판을 제작하여 건조기 내부에 설치하여 실험하였다. 발열판 장착위치에 따른 실험결과 위치는 큰 변수가 되지 않았고, 기존 5[kW]용량의 씨즈 히터를 2[kW]의 세라믹 발열판으로 대체하면서 에너지절약형 원적피선 세라믹 건조기를 제작할 수 있었다. 또한 발열판 자제 온도 분포를 측정한 결과 시간이 흐름에 따라 온도 분포는 약진의 차이가 있기는 하지만 대체적으로 근일한 분포를 나타내었다. 사용에 따른 경년변화를 측정하기 위해 90시간 동안 부하를 걸어 실험하였지만 발열판 자체의 저항이나 소비 전력의 변화는 나타나지 않았다.

This experiment was conducted to confirm the possibility of manufacturing artificial Italian ryegrass hay using far-infrared rays in Korea. The machine used in this experiment was a far-infrared ray dryer capable of adjusting temperature, airflow, and far-infrared radiation, and was conducted on Italian ryegrass harvested in May. Conditions for drying were performed by selecting a total of nine conditions, and each condition was set to emission rate of 42 to 45%, and the internal temperature was set to 65℃. The speed of the air flow in the machine was 40-60 m/s, and the overall drying time was 30 minutes for 42% radiation, 25 minutes for 43% radiation, and 20 minutes for 45% radiation. The final dry matter content according to each drying condition was 88.5% on average, and the dry matter content suitable for hay was shown in the all treatment. Looking at the power consumption according to the drying conditions, the lowest was found in the treatment that dried for 20 minutes at 45% radiation. In the drying rate, there was no difference in drying conditions 1 to 5, but a significantly low tendency was shown in conditions 6 to 7. In terms of feed value, CP and IVDMD were higher than raw materials in most drying conditions, and ADF and NDF contents were low, and tended to be high in drying conditions 4, 7, and 8. Through the above results, it was judged that drying conditions 7 and 8 were the most advantageous when considering drying speed, power consumption, and quality.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of far infrared ray drying on the microbial and quality changes of vacuum packaged waxy corns, such as microbial growth, rehydration, color differences, weight loss and hardness during the storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 months. After far infrared ray drying for 6 hours at $60^{\circ}C$, 2.32 log CFU/g of total microbial counts in raw waxy corns was enumerated, but no microorganism was detected in steamed or sugar-treated waxy corns. However, no microorganism was observed in all treatments except for control samples until 3 month storage at $4^{\circ}C$, whereas steamed and sugar-treated waxy corns showed 2 and 2.7 log reduction compared to that of control after 3 month storage. Yeasts and molds were more resistant than bacteria against far infrared ray drying at the same conditions. Similar results were observed in $25^{\circ}C$ storage. The degree of gelatinization in raw waxy corns far infrared ray drying changed from 98% to 96.2% after 7 month storage at $4^{\circ}C$, whereas steamed waxy corns with far infrared ray drying changed from 81.14% to 58.73%. Water contents in sugar-treated waxy corns with far infrared ray drying gradually reduced compared to steamed waxy corns as drying time increased. The L values in raw waxy corns far infrared ray drying increased as drying time increased, but L values in steamed or sugar-treated waxy corns significantly reduced after 12 hour far infrared ray drying. Hardness in raw waxy corns was higher than in steamed or sugar-treated waxy corns before storage, but similar hardness was observed between raw- and sugar-treated waxy corns after 9 hour drying. This results showed that the microbial reduction, the enhancement of shelf life and quality establishment of steamed or sugar-treated waxy corns could be maximized by using far infrared ray drying.
