Purpose: This study was conducted to understand the factors that affect the texture of gluten-free rice pasta prepared buckwheat, mung bean, and acorn starches and to compare textural properties of samples 100% semolina. Methods: The moisture content, weight and water absorption test investigated and texture profile analysis measured by texture analyzer. Results: 100% semolina sample's value was lower than gluten-free rice pasta moisture content, weight and water absorption test. moisture content weight was in pasta with mung bean starchin pasta with buckwheat starch. Texture profile analysis showed that increasing amount of buckwheat, mung bean, and acorn starches increased hardness, chewiness, cohesiveness and springiness, and decreased adhesiveness of gluten free rice pasta. Conclusion: This study suggested that adding buckwheat, mungbean and acorn starches could improve texture properties of gluten-free rice pasta.

This paper deals with the stress singularity induced at the interface corner between the viscoelastic thin film and the rigid substrate subjected to the combined influence of temperature change and moisture absorption. A boundary element analysis is employed to investigate the behavior of interface stresses. The film is assumed to be thermorheologically simple. It is further assumed that moisture effects are analogous to thermal effects. Numerical results are presented for a given viscoelastic model, indicating the singular residual stresses induced during cooling down from the curing temperature, and how they can be altered by subsequent moisture absorption at room temperature.

Absorption characteristics of hot air-. vacuum-, and freeze-dried ginger powder were investigated. Monolayer moisture content as determined by GAB equation was $0.257{\sim}0.540\;H_2O/g$, showing higher significance than BET equation. Absorption enthalpy was calculated based on different drying methods and water activities. Absorption energy decreased with increasing water activity but was not affected by drying method. Isotherm curves showed a typical sigmoid form. Among models applied for predicting equilibrium moisture content, Caurie model was the best fit model for ginger powder, showing the lowest prediction deviation of $1.2{\sim}5.4%$, followed by Henderson then Bradley models. The prediction model equations for the moisture content were established by in(time), water activity, and temperature.

In this paper, the physical and electrical properties of epoxy composites are investigated at boiling absorption condition to observe the influences of moisture. Also, in order to improve water resistance of matrix resin, IPN method was introduced and the influence was investigated. In order to analyze the basic physical properties of samples, scanning electron microscopy method was utilized, and impulse voltage dielectric strength was measured. As a result, it was verified that, in case of IPN samples, the ratio of moisture absorption was decreased due to the improvement of adhesion strength, and impulse voltage dielectric strength of SN sample was degraded abruptly as boiling time and filler content were increasing, while IPN samples were slowly degraded due to the improvement of adhesion strength.

Earth is facing a serious problem of pollution and scarcity of energy sources. The synthetic fibers used in automobile and Aerospace manufacturing sectors are non-renewable and harmful to environment. International Agency such as FAA and SAE is forcing for green fuel, green materials and structures. Further exploration is much needed to understand its potential in structural applications. In the current study, hemp and Jute fibre based composites were developed and tested for assessing their suitability for possible applications in automobile and aerospace sectors. Composites were undergone tensile test, water absorption test, and fatigue analysis to understand its behavior under various loading conditions. The finite element analysis has been carried out to understand the fatigue behaviour of composites. The results revealed that the usage of hemp and jute fibre reinforced composites can improve mechanical properties and have shown a viable alternative to replace synthetic fibres such as glass fibres for specific applications. Hemp reinforced bio-composites have shown better performance as compared to Jute reinforced bio-composites while water resistance characteristics for hemp is poorer to jute fibres.

Comparing the absorption volume of test pieces immersed over time in room temperature moisture with weight, WF absorbed about 40% more than PLAIN, and PLAIN stopped absorbing after 10 minutes, but WF continued to absorb. It is thought that the woven fabric layer of the core material continued to absorb moisture. In the heat transfer test, the test piece to which only WF was applied had a temperature difference of about 2℃ compared to PLAIN, and when the insulating liquid was sprayed, there was a difference in heat transfer properties of up to 5℃. This is judged to have low heat transfer properties of the basic woven fabric, but the heat insulating liquid also further reduces heat transfer properties.

Two kinds of soy pastes with different colors (reddish brown and yellowish white) were dehydrated by freeze drying in powder form. Hygroscopic behaviors of powdered soy pastes were investigated under the conditions of various water acitivities (0.11-0.88) and three different temperatures (25,40 and $50^{\circ}C$), and presented a kinetic and thermodynamic interpretatons in the view point of qualities and storage stability. Moisture absorption isotherms of powdered soy pastes were of type II according with BET classification and can be described by the Henderson's empirical equation. The safe storage moisture levels calculated by the Laurie's equation were ranging from 5.5 to 3.98% dry basis with oaring temperatures. The moisture absorption process for powdered soy paste followed the Ist order kinetic in the difference of equilibrium moisture content and arbitrary moisture content and the initial step was characterized by very fast absorption of moisture. The change of, dispersion capacity and color difference for powdered soy paste were extremely dependent upon water activity under the storage and the maximum stability was found at safe storage moisture levels. Also, the variation of thermodynamic parameters with moisture content was significant at safe storage moisture content levels and suggested d the considerable correspondence to storage stability of powdered soy paste.

This study has been investigated about the influence of moisture environment properties in the unidirectional and cross laminated carbon fiber/epoxy and glass fiber/epoxy composites. As a results, it was found that the weight gain of water increased with the immersion time and the mechanical properties were decreased with the weight gain of water. And it was also shown that the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/epoxy laminates were better than those of glass fiber/epoxy laminates. And a gap of the mechanical properties between the two kinds of laminates was increasing with the immersion time in distilled water of 80$^{\circ}C $. Mechanical properties which decreased by moisture absorption in the CF and GF reinforced laminates were recovered up to some extent by drying in oven at 80$^{\circ}C $ for 10 days.

Chitin was isolated from crab shells by modified Hackman's method, which was treated again with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to give alkali chitin(sodium alkoxide of chitin). And after, the alkali chitin is allowed to react with monochloroacetic acid to synthesize 6-O-(carboxymethyl) chitin [CM-Chitin] under diminished pressure. In order to synthesize high performance CM-Chitin as hygroscopic agent, it was measured that the yield and degree of subsititution of each CM-Chitin according to molar ratio(monochloroacetic acid equivalent mol/N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residue) and their moisture-absorption and moisture-release properties were measured and compared with those of hyaluronic acid. The moisture-absorption and moisture-release properties of CM-Chitin, especially 0.8 in degree of substitution, were found quite similar to those of hyaluronic acid. The preliminary results show that CM-Chitin might be used as hygroscopic agent instead of hyaluronic acid in field of cosmetics.
