The use of petroleum fuels in grain drying causes problems of high cost and management. To solve these problems, it is required to study on soLar energy as an alternative to petroleum fuels for grain drying. The purposes of this study were to find out the optimum received area and air flow rate of a flat-plate solar air collector for grain drying and to assess its effects on grain drying with a small grain bin. The results of this study are summarized as follows ; 1. The calculated optimum tilt angles of the collector in the summer and autumn drying seasons were 20 and 50 degress, respectively, in suwon area. 2. The outlet temperature of the collector was $36^\circ C$ on the daily average with the maximum of $36^\circ C$ at 12:00 o clock. Solar radiation on the collector surface was 1.04 ly( 1 langley = 1 cal/$cm^2$) per minute on the daily average and 1.30 ly per minute on the maximum at 11:00am. The thermal efficiency of the collector was 62.4 percent on the daily average, and the air flow-rate per unit receiving are was 1.03 $m^3$/min/$m^2$.4. The calculated optimum receiving area and the air flow-rate per unit cubic volume for paddy in autumn drying season was 2 $m^2$ and 2$m^3$/min , respectively. 5. not significantly difference in the collector efficiency was appeared between the rotating and fixed type of solar collector. 6. For drying of wheat with 0.6 meter of the depth in the bin, approximately 9 hours were required to reduce the moisture content from 21.6% to 13% with air follow rate of 5 $m^3$/min an initial moisture per cubic meter of wheat and with air temperature of $52^\circ C$. 7. In the drying test of rough rice with a turning operation in a grain bin approximately 21 hours were required to reduced the moisture from 21% to 14.5% with airflow rate of 2 $m^3$/min per cubic meter of rice and the air temperature of $43.5^\circ C$. 8. Over-drying at the bottom and less -drying at the top of the grain mass was resulted from the high -temperature of drying air which was obtained from the flat-plate solar collector in this test. An appropriate operation should be prepared for the uniform moisture of the grain in the bin.

A drying model to predict the drying process in continuous dryer was developed and proved by drying experiments. The experiment showed that the difference of moisture contents between the predicted and the observed was within 0.5%(wb). There was no cracked rice found even in high drying rate with the inlet moisture content over 23%(wb), and tempering treatment in the same temperature reduced the ratio of cracked rice. There was a little difference in the ratio of cracked rice between 40$^{\circ}C$ and 45$^{\circ}C$ drying temperatures with the final drying moisture content (14.5% wb), and the cracked rice increased at 55$^{\circ}C$. As a results, it was better to make fast drying on the rice over 23%(wb) inlet content it was recommended to keep drying at 45$^{\circ}C$.

Optimal conditions for collecting, storing and drying temperature to utilize slaughter porcine blood for blood meals and the effects of blood meal on growth in broiler chicks were investigated. Dry matter and protein contents of slaughter procine blood were 19.5% and 77%(dry basis), respectively. As for the composites of amino acids in the blood, aspartic acid, arginine, glycine, histidine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanin threonine were shown high. There was no significant difference between the collections by bloodletting and vacuumming in terms of microbial contamination. Storage of slaughter porcine blood showed no differences in protein, DNA and triglyceride contents and pH between the storage methods of freezing (-20$^{\circ}C$) and refrigerating (-4$^{\circ}C$). In case of room temperature storage, however, the decrease in pH and the appearance of new protein due to microbial contaminations increased as the storage periods were prolonged. When drying was done by flash methods, the drying period got shortened as the temperature became higher, yet protein and triglyceride were destoryed more. When drying was done over 120$^{\circ}C$, even at the same degree, the breakdowns of protein and triglyceride increased more as drying period got longer. In feeding trials of broiler chicks, dietary supplementation of the flash dried blood meal at 2% level showed significant difference in growth rate(P＜.05%). These results indicated that the appropriate handling and manufacturing of slaughter porcine blood enabled the blood to be used as a protein source for broiler chicks.

삶은 스파게티를 10%, 20%와 40% 글리세린 수용액에 10분간 담가둔결과 차후의 건조 과정에서 가소화(可塑化)시키는데 충분한 글리세린을 흡수했다. 글리세린의 가소화작용으로 높은 건조온도와 건습구온도의 큰차에서도 스파게티가 균열되고 표면에 주름지는 것이 방지되었다. 그러한 보호가 가능한 건조온도와 건습구온도차는 글리세린의 농도가 높을수록 높아졌다. 건조속도의 감소에도 불구하고 스파게티의 수분활성도를 0.65로(저장안정성에 필요한 수준) 내리는데 필요한 건조시간은 글리세린양이 증가함에 따라 짧아졌다. 글리세린의 첨가로 늪은 건조온도에서 스파게티의 갈변화 정도가 심해졌고 갈변화를 유도하는 기간이 짧아졌으나 갈 변화는 모든 경우에 스파게티의 수분활성 가 건조완성에 필요한 0.65에 도달한 훨씬 후에 시작되었다. 글리세린의 첨가로 건조시간을 단축하고 더 높은 온도에서 건조할 수 있기 때문에 약간의 글리세린을 (0.15 kg glycerine/ kg dry spaghetti) 첨가함으로써 스파게티의 건조시간을 약 80%에서 93%까지 단축시킬 수 있다.

The possibility of using the properties of an ultrasonic wave as a means for monitoring the moisture content of a board during drying was investigated. The ultrasonic wave signals are influenced by moisture content and other factors such as temperature, moisture gradient and coupling area. The effect of temperature was examined by measuring the transit times, amplitudes and velocities of ultrasonic waves transmitted through air, a metal bar and a board at various temperatures. The effect of a moisture gradient was studied using a model specimen composing five wood pieces of various moisture contents. The velocity and amplitude of the ultrasonic waves transmitted through air increase with temperature, while those through a metal bar and a board decrease. It was confirmed that the temperature effect is partially attributed to the change of transducer's properties. The effect of a moisture gradient on the velocity of an ultrasonic wave varies with the average moisture content of a board. As the dimension of the end face of a board increases the velocity of an ultrasonic wave increases and low frequency components more dominates than high frequency components. The transit times of ultrasonic waves transmitted through a board during kiln drying reflect the temperature steps in the drying schedule and the transducer temperatures.

Analysis of drying characteristics has been carried out with one-dimensional model in the dryer using the principle of the refraction of radiation. The dryer is composed of hot water tank, a plastic film conveyer belt, drying material, etc. The model considers the conduction and radiation within the plastic film and drying material. The film is semitransparent to radiation and the drying material is assumed to be semitransparent or opaque to radiation. The results shows that the effect of radiative transfer on the drying rate is relatively large when the thickness of drying material is small and the water temperature is high. When the material is thin, the drying rate by only conduction is also enhanced so that drying time can considerably be reduced.

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.

This experiment was carried out to enhance the availability of blackberry. Since it is difficult to use blackberry as a fresh fruit, we investigated the quality characteristics of blackberry powder obtained by various drying methods (freeze drying and hot-air drying at $40{\sim}80^{\circ}C$). The L- and b-values of freeze-dried powder was higher than hot-air dried powder. The pH (3.2) was lowest and the acidity (14.4%) was highest in freeze-dried powder. In freeze drying, the brix degree was $65.7^{\circ}Bx$, but it increased from $54.7^{\circ}Bx$ to $68.5^{\circ}Bx$ with increasing temperature during hot air drying. The total polyphenol and flavonoids contents were the highest in freeze-dried powder, at 9.3 and 6.2 mg/g, respectively. The levels increased as temperature increased in hot air drying. Anthocyanin content in freeze-dried powder was 8.51 mg/g, while it sharply decreased to 1.17~2.45 mg/g in hot-air drying. Vitamin C content in freeze drying ($979.4{\mu}g/g$) was higher than that in hot-air drying ($48.3{\sim}303.2{\mu}g/g$). The sample concentration required for 50% reduction of DPPH free radical scavenging ($RC_{50}$) was $79.7{\mu}g/mL$ in freeze drying, and showed high antioxidant activity. Also it decreased from $122.4{\mu}g/mL$ to $87.7{\mu}g/mL$ with temperature increase during hot air drying. We therefore conclude from the above results that freeze drying is more suitable for the production of blackberry powder, because this method showed high value of chromaticity, total polyphenol, flavonoid, anthocyanin content, vitamin C and antioxidant activity.

Experimental work of grain bin was carried out to develop the methods of natural air in-bin drying and storage. The method is considered to be more economical, labour saving, and an effective countermeasure to grain loss. To examine the possibility of farm use of the grain bin and to analyze the related factors concerned with in-bin grain drying and storage, ambient air conditions (especially the change of air temperature and relative humidity) and grain quality during drying and storage periods were investigated. A laboratory model bin was constructed to investigate the effect of different forced air conditions on the drying characteristics of rice. In addition, a grain bin with 2.2m diameter and 1.8m height, considered to be the optimum size for the average Korean farm, was constructed and tested to examine the drying and storing characteristics of rice. The weather data analyzed in this study was the nine-year (from 1964 to 1972) record of air temperature and relative humidity in the Suweon area, and the thirty-year (from 1931 to 1960) record of pentad normal relative humidity and air temperature in the Seoul area. From the results of the weather data analyses, the adequate air delivery hours (which was arbitrary defined as the condition to give less than 75% relative humidity) to dry the rice during October were about nine hours (from approximately 10 A.M. to 7 P.M, ) a day, in which the average air temperature was about 15.9$^{\circ}C$ and average relative humidity was 66%. The occurence of days having three hours of such conditions was 1, 2, and 1-day within the 1st, 2nd add last 10-day periods for the month of October, respectively. Therefore, it may be considered that the weather condition in October was satisfactory for the forced natural air drying. The results of the laboratory model bin test were analyzed to obtain the drying curve and drying rate for different drying stages and grain layers in the bin corresponding to various conditions of forced natural air. A drying experiment with a prototype grain bin showed that an approximate 5 percent grain moisture gradient through a 1.6 meter grain deposit was observed after 80 hours of intermittent drying, giving an over dried zone in the lower grain layers and an extremely high grain moisture zone in the upper layers. This indicates that an effective measure should be taken to reduce this high moisture gradient. In order to investigate the drying characteristics of bulk grain in a layerturning operation a grain bin test was performed. This showed a significant improvement of uniform drying. In this test, approximate 107 hours were required to dry a depth of 1.6 meter of grain from an initial moisture content of 22.2 percent to a moisture content of 16.7 percent using an air delivery rate of 2.8 cubic meter per a minute per every cubic meter of grain. This resulted in a 2 percent moisture gradient from the top to the bottom of the bin. During storage period, till the end of June the average temperature of grain was 2~3$^{\circ}C$ higher than ambient air temperature. But during July when the grain moisture content went up slightly (less than 1 percent), the average temperature of the grain also increased to 3~5$^{\circ}C$ higher than ambient air temperature. It is therefore recommended that for safe grain storage, grain should not be stored in sheet metal bins after mid May. From the above results, in-bin rice drying and storage can be used effectively on Korean farms. It is strongly recommended that the use of grain-bin system should be implemented for farm use to improve farm drying and storage of rice.
