In tradition, there have been two kinds of drying methods, which are sun drying and artificial drying. The sun drying method which has been adopted traditionally has been replaced by the hot-air drying method which is one of the most general methods of artificial drying, with its simple drying system, low initial cost of drying plant, and easy operating method. But the hot-air drying method has some defects ; (1)much energy loss happens due to the discharge of hot air during the drying process, (2)control of drying rate is not easy on account of changing relative humidity of inlet air for uniform hot air temperature, (3)high temperature of floods in drying process brings about the production of low-grade drying products. Also, the hot-air drying method is inducing environmental and sanitary problems which are resulting from the emission of high temperature and high humidity air, including stick on the drying progress. Vacuum drying technique, whose drying time and 7uantity of exhausting energy is about 1/3 ~1/4 of hot air drying, is very excellent in the drying efficiency. As the results, it took about 20 hours for material to reach about 18% of the final moisture content in order to store products for a long time, from about 470% of the early moisture content at the beginning of drying, and maximum drying rate comes to about $0.35 kg/m^2hr$ at about 350% of the moisture content.

The present experiment was carried out to determine the effect of seed-coat softening by various chemicals, washing, chilling, and light treatment alone and in combination during desiccation of seeds on germination of gourd (Lagenaria siceraria Standl.) seeds. Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, acetone, acetonitrile, and acetamide were used as chemicals for the softening. Washing, prechilling, drying and light treatment of the softened seeds were done for a hour with tap water, for one or three weeks at 3$^{\circ}C$, 12 hr at 35$^{\circ}C$, and 14 hr a day at 3$0^{\circ}C$ with red light illumination or darkness, respectively. FR-yongjadaemok and FR-kunghap were used as test cultivars. Seed-coat softening with 10% acetone and acetonitrile for 1 hour enhanced and accelerated seed germination compared to the other chemicals and water imbibition. KOH treated for the softening was necessary to increase the germination rate of seeds for following chilling, but acetone did not influence their germinability regardless of chilling. Washing the softened seeds in tap water increased the germination rate in comparison with no-washing. During desiccation of the seeds sequentially treated with the softening, washing and chilling, red light treatment showed higher germination rate than dark one, suggesting that red light treatment are necessary during desiccation.

Quality and component of dry Omija during storage and shelf-life of fresh Omija were investigated. Acidity and pH of dry Omija were not significantly different among drying methods, but reducing sugar(3.77%) of field (drying was much lower than that of hot air drying(11.02%) and freeze drying(10.12%). Crude protein was higher in order of freeze drying> hot air drying> field drying, and the optical density of freeze drying at 520nm were higher up to about 3 times than field drying and hot air drying, respectively. Moisture content of dry Omija during the storage was increased, whereas acidity decreased at 25$^{\circ}C$. However changed little at 4, -5, -20$^{\circ}C$ Reducing sugar increased until 8 mouth, and thereafter decreased continuously. Optical density and color(L,a,b) decreased at 25$^{\circ}C$ but increased at 4, -5, -20$^{\circ}C$. Shelf-life of flesh Omija at 4$^{\circ}C$ was limited to 9 days because staring decay. Acidity and reducing sugar of flesh Omija continuously decreased during storage at -5, -60$^{\circ}C$. Optical density increased until 8 month and then decreased, and especially the optical density of 8 month storage at -60$^{\circ}C$ was higher than initial's.

As a part of development of traditional foods, mugwort boogag and dry laver boogag were fried insoybean oil, and BHA or tocopherol-added soybean oil. They were wrapped up in opp vinyl film, and preserved at $4^{\circ}C(RH{\;}40{\pm}5%){\;}and{\;}25^{\circ}C(RH{\;}80{\pm}5%)$. During the storage of bobogags, acid value, peroxide value, and TBA value were investigated. Changes of sensory evaluation and texture profile were also examined. Boogags were manufactured by washing the raw materials. drying in the shade, mixing them with glutinous rice flour, and hot-air drying up it to 13 % of moisture contents after dryed it up to 80% of moisture contents on dry table for 23days, in order. These boogags were packaged to manufacture goods with dryed state or fried at $160^{\circ}C$ for 10 sec. Acid value, peroxide value, and TBA value of boogags which preserved at $4^{\circ}C$ generally appeared lower than at $25^{\circ}C$. As storage time goes by, moisture contents of bobogagas preserved at $25^{\circ}C$ increased and its quality were gradually deteriorated. When the boogags were fried in BHA(0.01%) and tocopherol (0.01%) added soybean oil, changes of acid value, peroxide value, TBA value were generally low. During the storage of bobogagas antioxidant effect of BHA was higher than that of tocopherol. Texture was inclined to decrease as storage time goes, by that of boogags preserved at $4^{\circ}C$ was a little more satisfactory. Hardness was also high.

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.

The analysis of microstructure is essential to understand the material behavior such as shrinkage, strength, and permeability. In this study, three different easy-to-apply specimen preparation methods for the mercury intrusion analysis were chosen, and their effectiveness in removing pore water and thus impeding further hydration was evaluated. As a result, it was found that the direct freeze-drying was the most effective among the three methods.

Low temperature vacuum drying technique shows very excellent energy efficiency and prominent drying performances compared with the conventional hot air drying technique. This study was focused on the thermal characteristics of the low temperature vacuum drying technique. From the results of this study, it was confirmed that the time consumption for drying with the new drying technique could be shortened to about 1/3 of the time consumption with the conventional hot air drying technique under the same drying conditions for wet products. Also, the maximum drying rate with the new drying technique reached to about $0.35kg/m^2h$ at about 400% of moisture content.

본 연구에서는 resorcinol과 formaldehyde를 이요하여 수상에서 축중합시켜 겔을 만든 후 저온 초임계 건조 공정을 이용하여 겔 구조의 변형없이 용매를 제거하여 내무 표면적과 같은 에어로겔의 최종 물성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 고형분의 농도(2-5%)를 변화시켜 실험한 결과 초기 반응조건이 반응시간 및 최종물성에 변수가 됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 제조된 에어로겔에 100-30$0^{\circ}C$까지 온도를 가하며 표면 특성을 분석한 결과 열을 가함에 따라 기공의 크기가 커지고 표면적이 감소됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.
