양파의 껍질에 칼금을 내고 꼭지와 뿌리를 절단한 후 회전하는 두 개의 롤러 위에 양파를 낙하시켜 구르게 하면서 그 위에 고압공기를 분사시켜 양파의 외각 껍질을 제거하는 공기분사식 박피장치의 최적 작동조건을 구명하기 위하여 수행한 시험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1, 박피장치에 고압공기를 분사하지 않았을 때, 롤러의 원주속도가 빠를수록, 양파의 무게가 가벼울수록 구름소요시간은 줄어들었고 직경방향 구름율이 가장 높았는데, 직경방향 구름소요시간이 가장 짧게 나타나는 주롤러의 원주속도는 2.4 m/s이었다. 2. 주롤러의 원주속도 2.4 m/s일 때 양파의 무게, 분사공기압 및 칼금수가 증가할수록 박피율은 증가하였으며, 박피율이 가장 높은 조건은 칼금수 4개, 분사공기압 3.5 kg/$cm^2$이상이었다. 3. 박피소요시간은 칼금수가 많을수록, 분사공기압이 높을수록 짧아지는 것으로 나타났고, 칼금수를 4개로 하고 분사공기압을 4.0 kg/$cm^2$이상으로 하면 박피소요시간을 2초 이하로 유지할 수 었다. 4. 양파의 껍질강도는 저장기일과 조건에 따라 다르므로 모든 양파의 박피를 위해서는 분사 공기압을 4.0 kg/$cm^2$이상으로 하고 공기분사시간을 2초에서 5초가지 조절할 수 있는 장치를 부착하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단된다. 5. 시험에 사용된 양파는 무게는 150~350$\pm$30 g, 직경 60~120 mm의 크기로 우리나라에서 생산되는 양파의 98%에 적용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

This research was conducted to test the feasibility of utilizing high-pressure water jets of over 1.0㎫ as a means of breaking and peeling garlic bulbs. High-pressure plunger pumps and flat-spray nozzles of varying orifice diameters and spray angles were utilized to supply water jets into a prototype peeling chamber made of transparent acrylic plates. Water jets were discharged from a total of six nozzles installed in such a way that three parallel nozzles face the other three. The cross-sectional area of the peeling chamber and the installation angle of the nozzles had critical effects on peeling performance. Small cross-sectional area was required so that total impact force of water jets on garlic could be increased. The optimum installation angles were around 4, 8, and 16$^{\circ}$ for the nozzles having 15, 40, and 65$^{\circ}$ spray angles, respectively. Best performance with 61.4% of completely-peeled garlics was obtained at a pressure of 1.94㎫ and a flow rate of 9.07 $\ell$/min for each nozzle. The peeling efficiency of the system was generally unsatisfactory due to the limited flow rate of the plunger pumps utilized. For better performance, it is recommended to increase flow rate while reducing operating pressure by utilizing other type of pumps.

The effect of peeling methods, spherecity and weight of potatoes and carrots on the peeling efficiency were investigated. The changes in the surface texture by peeling were estimated by Rheometer and were related to the changes in the microstructure. The optimum mechanical peeling conditions using abrasion type rotary peeler were 90 sec. at 300 rpm for potatoes, 70 sec. at 300 rpm for sweet potatoes and 60 sec. at 300 rpm for carrots. The peeling loss was influenced by the sphericity and weight of the sample. The optimum conditions for alkali peeling were 90 sec. immersion in boiling 10% NaOH solution for potatoes, 300 sec. in boiling 10% NaOH solution for sweet potatoes and 60 sec. in boiling 6% NaOH solution for carrots. Severe damage of surface structure was noticed by alkali peeling, demonstrated by denaturation of starch granules in the cell. The structural damage observed by microscope was related to the reduction of cutting force after peeling.

This paper presents and illustrates the application of a growth and yield model that supports both forest and mill side volume and value estimates. Traditional forest stand growth and yield models represent the forest landowner view of yield and economics. Predicted yields are estimates of what one would expect from a procurement cruise, and current stumpage prices are applied to investigate optimum management strategies. Optimum management regimes and rotation ages obtained from the forest side view are unlikely to be economically optimal when viewed from the mill side. The actual distribution of recoverable manufactured product and its value are highly dependent on mill technologies and configurations. Overcoming this limitation of growth and yield computer models necessitates the ability to predict and price the expected manufactured distribution of lumber, lineal meters of veneer, and tonnes of air dried pulp fiber yield. With these embedded models, users of the yield simulator can evaluate the economics of possible/feasible management regimes from both the forest and mill business sides. The simulator is a forest side model that has been modified to produce estimates of manufactured product yields by embedding models for 1) pulpwood chip size class distribution and pulp yield for any kappa number (Schultz and Matney, 2002), 2) a lumber yield and pricing model based on the Best Opening Face model developed by the USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory (Lewis, 1985a and Lewis, 1985b), and 3) a lineal meter veneer model derived from peeler block tests. While the model is strictly applicable to planted loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) on cutover site-prepared land in the United States (US) Gulf South, the model and computer program are adaptable to any region and forest type.

Serious consequences can arise from lack of hygiene in mass catering. Microbiological testing is of value in determining hazards for developing a HACCP plan, and in demonstrating to food handlers the reality of the microbial risk. This studies was performed to describe the overall hygiene of cooking utensils and equipments, employees, and environment in mass catering establishments. Generally, hygienic conditions of cutting board and sanitized dish cloth were better than those of other cooking utensils such as knife, sieve, and peeler. It was found that the cross-contamination of knife might be caused by the use of contaminated sanitizing solution. It was observed that there was considerable variation (10$^1$~10$^{5}$ CFU) of the number of general bacteria for employee's hands. The number of general bacteria were influenced from establishment, employee, and the period of analysis. The number of Coliform group for employee's hands was in the range of 10$^2$~10$^4$CFU only at the first analysis. Total aerial bacteria in working area of mass catering establishments was below 7 CFU/Plate and aerial Staphylococcus sp. was not detected at all except one spot.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the aroma of green tea blended with dried citrus fruits containing peeler. Whether middle or low grade green tea is consumed does not have an influence on health benefits, but it does havean influence on flavor. Therefore, two kinds of citrus fruits (mandarin orange and citron) were used to infuse the teas with aromatic flavors. This process turned unflavored tea into special tea with a good color and preferable flavor. Aroma compounds were extracted by SDE method. The concentrated aroma extracts were analyzed and identified by GC and GC-MS. The main aroma components of the green tea blended with mandarin orange were limonene (72.18%), (Z)-ocimene (8.29%), phenyl acetaldehyde (6.15%), ${\gamma}$-terpinene (5.14%), ${\beta}$-elemene (1.80%) and linalool (1.00%). The main aroma components of the green tea blended with citron were limonene (71.74%), ${\gamma}$-terpinene (9.76%), (Z)-ocimene (5.38%), (E)-ocimene (4.36%), linalool (1.00%) and ${\beta}$-mycrene (0.87%). The aromas of green tea blended with dried citrus fruits were mainly mono - and sesquiterpenic compounds.
