Approximately 80% of the world's sea cucumbers Apostichopus japonicas are processed into dried sea cucumbers. The hot air-drying method is currently used in industry, but it has many problems, such as a short drying time, severe browning, high nutrition loss, and low recovery. In this study, the moisture absorption rate, dry recovery rate, and lipid nutrient composition of sea cucumber dried by heat pump decompression and with a hybrid dryer were investigated. The moisture absorption rates for hybrid-dried sea cucumbers at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h were 241.3%, 427.7%, 652.0%, 721.0%, and 742.2%, respectively. The moisture absorption rates for hot air-dried sea cucumbers were 155.8%, 240.0%, 390.3%, 655.5%, and 667.4%, respectively. Thus, moisture absorption was faster and greater with hybrid drying than with hot air drying. The dry recovery rate at 24 h was greater for hybrid-dried sea cucumber (70.7%) than for hot air-dried sea cucumber (59.8%). Saturated fatty acid contents of the hybrid- and hot air-dried sea cucumbers were 30.0% and 37.5%, respectively. Moreover, greater ${\Sigma}n-3$ polyunsaturated fatty acid content was found in hybrid-dried sea cucumber (15.8%) than in hot air-dried sea cucumber (11.7%).

A review on the papers published in the Korean Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering in 2006 has been accomplished. Focus has been put on current status of research in the aspect of heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitation and building environments. The conclusions are as follows. (1) The research trends of fluid engineering have been surveyed as groups of general fluid flow, fluid machinery and piping, etc. New research topics include micro heat exchanger and siphon cooling device using nano-fluid. Traditional CFD and flow visualization methods were still popular and widely used in research and development. Studies about diffusers and compressors were performed in fluid machinery. Characteristics of flow and heat transfer and piping optimization were studied in piping systems. (2) The papers on heat transfer have been categorized into heat transfer characteristics, heat exchangers, heat pipes, and two-phase heat transfer. The topics on heat transfer characteristics in general include thermal transport in a cryo-chamber, a LCD panel, a dryer, and heat generating electronics. Heat exchangers investigated include pin-tube type, plate type, ventilation air-to-air type, and heat transfer enhancing tubes. The research on a reversible loop heat pipe, the influence of NCG charging mass on heat transport capacity, and the chilling start-up characteristics in a heat pipe were reported. In two-phase heat transfer area, the studies on frost growth, ice slurry formation and liquid spray cooling were presented. The studies on the boiling of R-290 and the application of carbon nanotubes to enhance boiling were noticeable in this research area. (3) Many studies on refrigeration and air conditioning systems were presented on the practical issues of the performance and reliability enhancement. The air conditioning system with multi indoor units caught attention in several research works. The issues on the refrigerant charge and the control algorithm were treated. The systems with alternative refrigerants were also studied. Carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons and their mixtures were considered and the heat transfer correlations were proposed. (4) Due to high oil prices, energy consumption have been attentioned in mechanical building systems. Research works have been reviewed in this field by grouping into the research on heat and cold sources, air conditioning and cleaning research, ventilation and fire research including tunnel ventilation, and piping system research. The papers involve the promotion of efficient or effective use of energy, which helps to save energy and results in reduced environmental pollution and operating cost. (5) Studies on indoor air quality took a great portion in the field of building environments. Various other subjects such as indoor thermal comfort were also investigated through computer simulation, case study, and field experiment. Studies on energy include not only optimization study and economic analysis of building equipments but also usability of renewable energy in geothermal and solar systems.

용량 150 kg의 실험용건조기와 heat pump를 이용하여 건조온도 20, 30, 40 및 $50^{\circ}C$에서 건조실험을 수행하였다. 건조과정에서 함수율, 동할율의 경시적 변화와 건조 전 후의 발아율 및 식미를 측정하여 저온건조과정에 벼의 품질과 적정 건조온도를 구명하였다. 건조온도 20, 30, 40 및 $50^{\circ}C$에서 건조속도는 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 및 1.3%/hr 로 건조온도가 높을수록 건조는 빠르게 진행되었으며, 건조온도 $40^{\circ}C$ 이상은 고온영역, 그 이하는 저온영역으로 구분할 수 있다. 동할율은 건조온도 $20^{\circ}C$에서는 발생하지 않았고 건조온도 30, 40 및 $50^{\circ}C$에서 1.6, 6.8 및 24.2%로 나타나 건조온도가 높을수록 동할 발생이 증가하였다. 따라서, 건조온도 20 및 $30^{\circ}C$는 동할율 기준치에 적합한 안전한 온도영역이며, $50^{\circ}C$는 매우 위험한 온도영역으로 판단된다. 또한, 건조온도 $40^{\circ}C$는 동할율 방지를 위해 템퍼링시간 증대 등 운영방법의 조정이 필요하였다. 건조온도가 높을수록 건조후 발아율은 저하하였으며, 건조온도 20 및 $30^{\circ}C$에서 발아율은 종자용으로 사용가능한 영역이었으며, 건조온도 40 및 $50^{\circ}C$는 최소 영역인 80%에 만족하였다. 식미관능검사에서전반적인(Overall) 품질, 외관(Appearance)의 품질, 맛(Taste)의 품질 및 조직감(Texture)의 품질에서 유의적인 차이가 나타났으며, 종합적으로 판단해볼 때 건조온도 $20^{\circ}C$와 $30^{\circ}C$에서 식미가 높게 나타났으며, 건조온도가 가장 높은 $50^{\circ}C$에서는 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 따라서, 품질이 우수한 건조조건은 건조온도 $30^{\circ}C$ 이하, 건조속도 0.6%/hr 이하를 유지하는 것이 적정한 것으로 판단된다.
