This study was aimed to investigate the changes in textural properties of Korean radish and relevant chemical, enzymatic activities during salting. During salting, pH was decreased and total acidity was increased. The maximum compression and puncture forces of Korean radish were decreased significantly whereas cutting force was increased. From the force-distance curves, the break point and maximum force point disappeared in salted Korean radish whereas these appeared apparently in fresh one. Also, the number of peak obtained by three types of test from salted Korean radish was decreased. Hot water soluble pectin and 0.4% Na-hexametaphosphate soluble pectin were increased whereas 0.05 N-HCl soluble pectin were decreased significantly. Polygalacturonase activity were increased in Korean radish solid(RS) and Korean radish juice(RJ) until 4 days of salting. Pectin esterase activity were decreased in RS and RJ. Cx-cellulase activity did not appear initially, however, they began to show their activities after 2 days of salting and were increased in RJ although it was low.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of fish sauces from shrimp and anchovy and chitosan on the changes in pH, acidity, texture, and pectin fraction during Kimchi fermentation. Also, we conducted sensory evaluation on the textural properties of various Kimchis. The results were as follows: During fermentation, pH was decreased in the order of fermented anchovy sauce, fermented shrimp and control. And acidify was increased in the same order. But the addition of chitosan retarded the decrease in pH and increase in acidity. The compression force of various Kimchis during fermentation was decreased in the rder of fermented anchovy sauce, fermented shrimp, control and the addition of chitosan. During fermentation, hot water soluble pectin (HWSP) of control, fermented shrimp and fermented anchovy sauce increased whereas HCI soluble pectin (HCISP) in there treatments decreased. On the while, HWSP decreased and HCISP increased by addition of chitosan. Sensory score for the texture parameters such as hardness, crispness and chewiness of various Kimchis after the 3rd and 5th days of fermentation showed that hardness, crispness and chewiness were higher in chitosan treatment than in other treatments. The pH and acidity, compression force of Kimchis were appeared to be most highly correlated with crispness, showing that pH and compression force gave positive correlation and acidity gave negative correlation with crispness respectively. From the above results, chitosan addition was observed to infuluence the textural properties of Kimchi and their pectic substance.

감자절편을 고농도용액에 침지하여 탈수시킨 결과 침지용액을 구성하는 용질의 분자량에 따라 탈수형태가 다르게 나타났다. 저분자 용액인 NaCl, PEG 400 용액에 침지한 경우 조직의 뒤틀림현상(cytorrhysis) 은 나타나지 않고 부피의 감소와 수분의 탈수현상이 나타난 반면 고분자 용액인 PEG 4000, PEG 6000용액에 침지한 경우 cytorrhysis 현상을 동반한 부피의 감소와 탈수현상이 나타났다. 초기 탈수속도는 저분자 용액에 침지시 더 빨랐으나 최종 탈수량은 고분자 용액에 침지시 더 컸다 고장성 용액에 감자절편을 침지시켜 탈수되는 기작이 두가지 압력(삼투압 분자압착력)에 의해 진행된다고 가정하고 모델을 제안하여 감정한 결과 제안된 모델은 고분자 용액에 침지시의 탈수현항을 설명하는데 적합하였다. 모델에서 구해진 압력인자(ΔP)와 농도인자(a)는 온도(T)와 농도(C) 의 함수로 표현되며 계수의 탄력성 검정결과 농도에 대한 의존성이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The thermal filter press dewatering(TFPD) technology to improve the dewaterability through increasing the inner vapor pressure, lowering the filtration viscosity and forming the porosity easily within cake as applying the heat at the sludge layer was developed in this study. The hot water with temperature of $95^{\circ}C$ and pressure of $1.2kg_f/cm^2$ was supplied to the heating plate equipped between filter plates with plate size of $470{\times}470mm$ and material of polypropylene. Sludge was dewaterd by supplying pressure of $5kg_f/cm^2$ and then by squeezing pressure of $15kg_f/cm^2$. As a results of estimating the characteristics of thermal dewatering to consider the initial water content and organic content to be influenced by a period of water shortage and rainwater, the dewatered cake water content was about 35 wt% and dewatering velocity was $4DSkg/m^2{\cdot}hr$ under the rainwater period, and the dewatered cake water content was about 50 wt% and dewatering velocity was $1.5DSkg/m^2{\cdot}hr$ in the case of sludge of water shortage season. These results was superior to the mechanical dewatering performance with water content of 70wt% and dewatering velocity of $0.9DSkg/m^2{\cdot}hr$. On the base of the results of TFPD, energy consumpted to deal with DS(Dry Solid) of 1kg was estimated by 300 kJ. It was analyzed that the energy consumption of TFPD was decreased about one third with comparison to the dryer system. Dewatering velocity of this technology was faster than the one of mechanical dewatering equipment and it was easier to product low water content cake. Therefore, this technology was recognized that dewaterability was predominant because of the fast of dewatering velocity and production of low water content cake, and also this known as economical efficiency was excellent because of low energy consumption in comparison with dryer.
