This study is on different dry methods for Artemisia sp. which were not affected by the dry matter percent. Essential oil components such as 1,8-cineol and terpineol were highly affected by the dry method. 1,8-cineol and terpineol components were decreased by adaptation of the heated oven-drying method and the freeze-drying method. Borneol components were increased through shady sun-drying, sun-drying and freeze-drying. Heated oven drying method decreased the vitamin C content. Vitamin C content was decreased in oven-drying about 50% during this period, but only 10% decreased in the freezing dry method. Qualities were changed by different drying methods. Therefore, different dry methods of Artemisia sp. were applied to the flavorgen.

Prolonged release micro particles of clarithromycin (CL) were prepared using Eudragit RL 100 and RS 100 by spray-drying and casting-drying techniques. For the characterization of those microparticles, preparation yield, particle size distribution, X-ray diffraction, thermal behavior, active agent content and in vitro dissolution from the microparticles were performed. HPLC was used for the assay of clarithromycin and the assay method was validated. All the formulations obtained showed prolonged release when compared to pure clarithromycin. Microparticles prepared by spray-drying method had a slower release compared to those of casting drying method. Spray-drying method seems to be a more suitable method to prepare microparticles for prolongation in release.

Semiconductor inspection equipment makes components using materials with insulating properties for functional inspection including current and voltage of semiconductor parts. A representative insulating material is plastic, and plastic is made of a component through an injection process using plastic pellet. When plastic pellets contain excessive moisture, problems such as performance degradation and product surface defects occur. To prevent this, pre-drying is essential, and the heat convective type is the most applied. However, the heat convective type has a problem of low consumption efficiency and a long drying time. Recently, many studies have been conducted on a drying method using microwaves due to high energy efficiency. In this paper, drying was performed using a microwave for drying PC pellets. Energy consumption and drying efficiency analyzed by set up an experimental apparatus of heat convective, microwave, and hybrid(heat convective + microwave) types. It was confirmed that energy consumption and drying efficiency were high when drying using microwaves, and it was confirmed that the hybrid method improved drying performance compared to the heat convective method. It is expected that the research results of this paper can be used as basic data for drying plastic pellets using microwave.

Because lotus root has a short shelf life, the quality easily deteriorates. Thus, the harvested lotus roots are processed into a variety of products. Drying is one of the simplest food preservation methods, which can increase food stability. However, the convective drying method takes a long time and requires high energy consumption. Combination drying methods have emerged to overcome the limitations of the convective drying method. This study investigated the drying characteristics of lotus root and determined the optimal drying model of lotus root depending on the microwave and hot-air combination drying conditions. The lotus root slices (5 mm in thickness and 40 mm in diameter) were dried by different drying conditions that were combined with three microwave power levels (50, 100, and 150 W) and two hot air temperatures (50 and 60℃) at a velocity of 5 m·s^-1. Eight drying models were tested to evaluate the fit to the experimental drying data, and the effective moisture diffusion (D_eff) values of the lotus root slices dried by combination drying were estimated. The combination drying time of the lotus root was significantly reduced with the high air temperature and microwave power. The effective moisture diffusion (D_eff) of lotus root was more affected by the air temperature than microwave power intensity. Logarithmic model was most suitable to describe the drying curve of lotus root in the microwave-hot air combination drying method.

Silica Aerogels with the density and porosity of 0.1g/cm3 and 96% were synthesized by two different supercri-tical drying processes (i.e additional solvent and intial pressure methods) Isoptopanol was chosen as sol-gel and supercritical drying solvents in order to synthesize aerogels at the lower temperature and pressure because the critical values of isopropanol are lower than those of methanol and ethanol commonly used. The P-V-T relationship of isopropanol was experimentally described for optimizing supercritical drying conditions such as the amount of extra solvent and supercritical drying temperature and pressure. In the addional solvent method monolithic and transparent aerogels were obtained by supercritical drying at 25$0^{\circ}C$ and 900 psing after 40% of the reactor volume was filled with isopropanol. Crack-free aerogels were synthesized at 25$0^{\circ}C$ and 1100~1200 psig by the initial pressure method with an intial nitrogen gas pressure of 400 psig and the isopropanol amount of 5% of the reactor volume.

In an attempt to find ways of improving the quality of dried Shiitake mushroom, this study compared a conveyer-type far-infrared drying method with a traditional heated air drying method. The conveyer-type far-infrared dryer was performed at air velocity of 0.6 and 0.8 m/s under drying air temperature of 60, 70 and $80^{\circ}C$, respectively. Drying characteristics, antioxidant activities and the antioxidant compounds of Shiitake mushroom dried by far-infrared dryer were investigated. Generally, drying rate with the conveyer-type far-infrared drying method was faster than that with the traditional heated air drying method. In the conveyer type far infrared drying method, drying rates were increased with increasing temperature and air velocity. The loss of antioxidant activities during the conveyer-type far-infrared drying method at 60-0.6, 60-0.8, and $70^{\circ}C-0.6m/s$ was less than the traditional drying method. However, the loss of antioxidant activities at 70-0.8, 80-0.6, and $80^{\circ}C-0.8m/s$ was higher than that of the traditional drying method. Therefore, the conveyer type far infrared drying conditions with below $70^{\circ}C$ and 0.6 m/s air velocity may produce dried Shiitake mushroom with relatively higher antioxidant activities and antioxidant compounds.

Drying of granules for tablet formulation is one of the important unit operations. The loss on drying method is traditionally used for this purpose. However, it is a time-consuming method, requiring at least 1 h. Moreover, it is ineffective in monitoring the moisture content of granules during the drying process. In this study, online real-time monitoring of moisture content during the drying process was successfully performed using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. NIR spectra were collected during 15 different drying batches for developing a reliable NIR spectroscopic method. Such a large number of batches were used to develop a more robust partial least squares (PLS) model. NIR spectra collected from 12 batches were used for developing the model that was validated by predicting the moisture content of the samples in the remaining 3 batches. The standard errors of predictions (SEPs) in the measurement of batch 1, batch 2, and batch 3 were 0.52%, 0.57%, and 0.56%, respectively. The online NIR spectroscopic method developed in this study was reliable and accurate in monitoring the moisture content during the drying process.
