Anaerobic digestion system is getting more attractive in that it produces biogas in the process of organic waste stabilization. Net energy production is important when biogas production is concerned. In this study, net energy production was evaluated with respect to biogas production and heat losses in a hypothetical digester. Under the condition of digester operation with slurry inflow of 5% of TS, additional fuel is required to maintain digester temperature during the winder season. Substrate therefore, needs to have higher VS contents through co-digestion of silage or food waste that has greater values of methane production rate. Heating input slurry is important in cold season, which covers over 80% of heating requirement. Heat recovery from digestate is valuable to reduce the use of biogas for heating. It seems desirable to minimize slurry inflow when temperature is very low. Psychrophilic digestion may be a feasible option for reducing heating requirement.

Heat transfer phenomena during melting process of the phase change material (ice) was studied by numerical analysis and experiments. In a horizontal ice storage tube, the natural convection caused an increase in melting rate. However, the reduction of the heating surface area caused a decrease in melting rate. Therefore, during the melting process of ice in a horizontal cylinder, the reduction of the heating surface area should be considered. Under the same heating wall and initial water temperature condition, the melting rate became higher for $V_s/V_tot/=0.545 \;than \;that\; for\; V_s/V_tot$/=1.00 due to the difference in the reduction of heating surface area. A modified melting model considering the equivalent thermal conductivity of liquid phase and volume reduction was proposed. The results of the model were compared with the measured values and found to be in good agreement.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of thermal comfort index and to present the thermal comfort range through regression analyses and experiment in a radiant floor heating system laboratory. The results were compared to the comfort zone of ISO-7730, and the applicability of the thermal comfort index to a radiant floor heating system was studied. On comparing the sedentary posture on the floor to sitting on the chair, the comfort zone and the neutral point of comfort index showed different values. It is considered that the influence of conduction from floor to the human is sufficient. Moreover, we could find a correlation between the thermal sensation votes of subjects, and the comfort indexes were lower than those by calculation.

This study was conducted to develop purees from pumpkin and sweet-pumpkin. Soluble solids in pumpkins were increased as heating time increase. The maximum yield of puree from sweet-pumpkin marked 78.2% when in prepared at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes heating, but puree from pumpkin was 53.2% at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes heating. Soluble solid and yield of pumpkin purees were increased with enzyme treatment. but viscosity was deceased remarkably. Hunter's a and b values of puree from sweet-pumpkin were higher than puree from pumpkin, and it was considered due to higher content of carotenoid. Organoleptic qualities of puree from pumpkin and sweet-pumpkin were investigated by 5-point scale and the most effective heating time was 40 minutes at 121$^{\circ}C$.

In this study, we investigated the effects of heating ($80^{\circ}C$, 30 min) on the physicochemical and functional attributes of acid (cottage) and sweet (Edam and Cheddar) whey powders. The water holding capacity (WHC) of the whey powders was not affected by heating or pH value. The heated Cheddar whey powder had a significantly lower (p<0.05) WHC than that of the other wheys. Heating detrimentally impacted the emulsifying and foaming properties, On the other hand, heating significantly enhanced the heat stabilities (HS) of all powders, This was best demonstrated at the acidic pH values of 3.0 and 4.5, where the HS increased by 57 and 53, 181 and 167, and 31 and 48%, for the cottage, Edam, and Cheddar, respectively. Overall, this data provides useful insights into the manufacture of pasteurization and retort-stable whey powders.

The effects of salt concentration and heating conditions on the thermal gelation properties of surimi produced from mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM) were investigated. Chicken surimi was manufactured by washing (MDCM: 0.5% NaCl=1:4), standing, straining and centrifuging. The fat, water-soluble protein and heme pigment in the MDCM were removed by increasing washing cycles. The compressive force of the chicken surimi increased as the concentration of salt was increased from 0% to 5%. Total gel strength of the surimi measured by texture profile analysis showed a maximum in the range 3-5% NaCl. Microstructural analysis showed that the unfolding network structure of the surimi gel began to appear at NaCl concentrations>2%. The optimum heating condition for gelation was $90^{\circ}C$ for 40 min as this resulted in maximum values for measures of gel strength including compressive force, hardness, fracturability, adhesiveness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness and resilience. Chicken surimi gel formed by cooking at a heating rate of $1^{\circ}C/min$ to $90^{\circ}C$ showed better a texture than gels produced at $1.85^{\circ}C/min$. Our result show that a lower rate of heating improves chicken surimi gelation.

This study evaluated the effects of heat treatment on antioxidant activity of Rehmannia radix Libosch (RRL). RRL was heated at various temperatures ($110-150^{\circ}C$) for various times (1-5 hr), and the total polyphenol, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity were investigated. With increased heating temperature and exposure time, total content of polyphenol, flavonoid, as well as antioxidant activity increased. The highest total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were 21.65 and 3.56 mg/g, respectively, these values were occurred after heating for 3 hr at $150^{\circ}C$ (RRL was 5.09 and 0.83 mg/g, respectively). The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was highest value of 83.46% after heating for 3hr at $150^{\circ}C$. The 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) cation radical scavenging activity was highest value of 20.43mg ascorbic acid (AA) eq/g after heating for 2 hr at $150^{\circ}C$. There were highly significant differences in the total polyphenol, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity among heating temperatures and times (p<0.001), with heating temperature having the greater effect.

To verify the color change in dried laver postproduction during the heating process, chromaticity elements were compared via a spectrophotometer across various heating conditions within the visible light spectrum. In general, the moisture reduction rate increased with rising temperature and time. Surface image comparisons revealed an expanded area of light reflection on the heat-treated dried laver sample due to surface roughening from shrinkage. No statistically significant differences in chromaticity values were observed in the measurements of brightness (L^*), redness (a^*), and yellowness (b^*). Reflectance spectrum measurements in the visible light region confirmed high reflectance under red wavelength conditions. In particular, a significant increase in reflectance at 700 nm compared with untreated samples was noted. The correlation between the increase in 700 nm reflectance of dried laver samples and heating conditions ranged from 0.7471 to 0.7793, suggesting its potential use as an indicator for comparing color changes in dried laver based on heating conditions.

Increasing crop production with the same amount of resources is essential for enhancing the economy in agriculture. The first prerequisite is to understand relationships between the resources. The concept of WEF (Water-Energy-Food) nexus analysis was first introduced in 2011, which helps to interpret inter-linkages among the resources and stakeholders. The objective of this study was to analyze energy-water nexus in greenhouse cultivation by estimating reference evapotranspiration and heating load. For the estimation, this study used the physical model to simulate the inside temperature of the agricultural greenhouse using heating, solar radiation, ventilated and transferred heat losses as input variables. For estimating reference evapotranspiration and heating load, Penman-Monteith equation and seasonal heating load equation with HDH (Heating Degree-Hour) was applied. For calibration and validation of simulated inside temperature, used were hourly data observed from 2011 to 2012 in multi-span greenhouse. Results of the simulation were evaluated using $R^2$, MAE and RMSE, which showed 0.75, 2.22, 3.08 for calibration and 0.71, 2.39, 3.35 for validation respectively. When minimum setting temperature was $12^{\circ}C$ from 2013 to 2017, mean values of evapotranspiration and heating load were 687 mm/year and 2,147 GJ/year. For $18^{\circ}C$, Mean values of evapotranspiration and heating load were 707 mm/year and 5,616 GJ/year. From the estimation, the relationship between water and heat energy was estimated as 1.0~2.6 GJ/ton. Though additional calibrations with different types of greenhouses are necessary, the results of this study imply that they are applicable when evaluating resource relationship in the greenhouse cultivation complex.

In this study, degree of rancidity and trans fatty acid formation were examined in fat and oils, including soybean oil (SB), canola oil (CA), corn germ oil (CO), olive oil (OL), palm oil (PO), and beef tallow (BT), during heating for 10-130 minutes at 160-200$^{\circ}C$. In order to determine the rancidity of the fat and oils, acid values (AV), iodine values (IV), viscosity, and color were measured. Changes in the amounts of fatty acids and the formation of trans fatty acids were measured using GC and HPLC. For all groups, AV increased, IV decreased, and coefficients of viscosity and color increased as the heating temperature and heating time increased, indicating there were positive correlations between the heating temperature and time and AV. In addition, all groups had similar amounts of trans fatty acids, with the exception of the beef tallow; however, its level only slightly increased with heating. The olive oil had the lowest trans fatty acid content and the lowest amount created by heating. The order of trans fatty acid amounts generated while heating was BT>PO>CO>CA>SB>OL. According to the study results, the deep frying temperature during cooking should be 160-180$^{\circ}C$ in order to reduce AV and the amount of trans fatty acids that are formed. In addition, it is better to remove beef tallow during cooking and avoid heating at high temperatures since it results in high levels of trans fatty acids. The correlation between the amount of trans fatty acids and AV was positive, while the correlation between the amount of trans fatty acids and IV was negative, indicating that AV and trans fatty acid levels increase while IV decreases as the deep frying temperature and time increase. From the results, it was found that reducing the deep frying temperature and time can lessen increases in AV and trans fatty acids, and decrease IV. Accordingly, to reduce AV and trans fatty acid formation, the ideal deep frying conditions would be to use olive oil or soybean oil rather than beef tallow or palm oil at a temperature of 160-180$^{\circ}C$.
