This study was conducted to develop a garlic separator which could to reduce the labor in preparation of seeding. After consideration of the design criteria of a garlic separator such as no additional conveying device, simple construction and operation, enhancement of separating efficiency, reduction of damage, degree a rotating corn type garlic separator was designed. The effects of design parameters such as height and angle of the inner and outer corns, rotating speed of inner corn on the separating performance of the prototype were estimated. In performance was compared with manual work. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Garlic bulbs were separated by a spiral movement in the gap between inner rotating corn and outer fixed corn. At constant feed rate of garlic bulbs, the capacity of garlic separation increased with increase of rotating speed of inner corn. Especially, the capacity was very high at the rotating speeds of 300 and 400rpm. 2. The damage degree of separated garlics increased with rotating speed of corn within 10%. Above 300rpm, separability of Uisung garlic was about 100% and incomplete separation of Namdo garlic was within 2%. 3. The capacity of prototype garlic separator developed in this study was 30 times as large as that of human being.

옥수수에 5 $\mu$g/g의 FB$_1$을 인위적으로 첨가한 후 co-rotating mixing twin screw extruder를 사용하여 140, 160, 및 18$0^{\circ}C$에서 각각 screw speed를 80, 100 및 120rpm으로 조정하여 extrusion 처리하였다. Extrusion 처리에 의한 FB$_1$ 감소율은 약 41~45% 수준이었으며, 처리 조건에 따른 차이는 없었다. Glucose, fructose 및 sucrose를 각각 첨가한 옥수수를 14$0^{\circ}C$, 120 rpm에서 extrusion 처리하였을 때 glucose를 첨가한 옥수수에서의 FB$_1$ 감소율이 증가하였다. Glucose 함량의 증가에 따라 FB$_1$의 감소율도 증가하였으며, glucose가 2.5%, 5% 및 7.5% 존재할 때 extrusion 처리 옥수수에 잔존하는 FB$_1$은 각각 51%, 34% 및 19%수준이었다.

A flywheel-type, inclined axis chopper for small-area rice and livestock farmers, has been developed at IRRI Agricultural Engineering, The prototype is belt-driven by a 2.6kW engine and uses four angled blades rotating below a fixed counteredge. Manual feeding is facilitated by a convenient spout presenting the crop to the inclined blade housing and also suction created by the rotating blades . The distance between the rotating blades and the bottom of the housing determines the length of chops, set here for 25 cm. The unit would cost $200 without the engine. Tests with napier grass, corn stalks , and rice straw showed satisfactory performance within the acceptable clearance, speed and moisture content ranges of the material presented. Highest capacities were 1186, 1148 and 744kg/hr for napier grass, corn stalks and rice straw, respectively. Corn stalks required the highest power demand at 2.3kW engine would be adequate as power source. The chopper performance was comparable to higher cost commercial chippers in terms of capacity and specific energy.

Raw starch can be effectively saccharified in an enzyme reaction system containing sttrition-milling media. In order to develop an effcient attrition-coupled bioreactor(bioattritor), a rotating drum type bioattitor was construced, and its optimal operation conditions and power consumptions were evaluated. The optimal conditions for 3l bioattritor were 4 baffled, baffle size of 1:0.05 (the ratio of drum diameter to baffle), drum rotation speed of 100 rpm, and 1.33g of 3 mm glass bead/g of raw corn starch.

With income growth and "well-being" trends, sales of corn has been increased recently. Corns are processed at processing facilities on the main production site. Corn processing steps include removing bract, steaming, vacuum packing, and storing. To replace manual corn bract removing, some bract removing machines were imported and used. However, the machines were abandoned shortly, because of high damaging ratio of corns. In this research, factors of successful bract removing was studied with rotating rollers and air-injection nozzles to develop corn bract removing system. The test device was composed of a cylindrical roller, an air spray nozzle, a regulator, and a motor. Designing factors were roller type, diameter of air spraying nozzle, spraying angle, and spraying pressure. The measured factors were bract removing rate and damaging rate. It was found that optimum cylindrical roller surface shape was cylindrical roller and linear grove roller. This roller shape produced lowest damaging rate. Test results of the efficacy of preprocessing showed that the air spraying after preprocessing produced highest performance. The rotational speed and inclination of the roller didn't affect the bract removing performance. Optimum injection angle of the air jet nozzle was $70^{\circ}$. To increase bract removing rate and to reduce corn damage, required injection pressure and injection nozzle diameter were decided to less than 0.4 MPa and 2.5 mm, respectively. More than 3 times of nozzle passing produced good bract removing performance and there were no significant difference between the number of passing times.

This work was intended to study the cutting graph and vibratory phenomina of a newly developed mower which may be suitable for mowing agricultural product having large and hard stems like corn and sugar beet. The system consists of cutter-bar having Curvilinear-translation motion, which attached to drag-crank mechanism. The motion of equation developed for experimental vibratory system which equipped with the cutter-bar system was established and the parameters defining the system's vibratory motion were experimentally determined. The optimum balancing weight for the cutter-bar am vibratory characteristics of the cutter-bar for various counterweight were analyzed to provide the design and operational conditions. The results of the study are summarized as follows; (1) The cutting graph by the new cutter-bar system depends upon the magnitude of ratio of forward travel(Vm) to crank speed (R$\omega$); The cutting pitch for Vm/R$\omega$ 1 (whole cycle cutting) and Vm/R$\omega$=2/$\pi$ (a half cycle cutting) are 2$\pi$ Vm and 4R, respectively. (2) The experimental vibratory system had been proved to function adequately so that it can be used in determining the required counterweight to minimize the vibratory motion of cutter-bar. (3) Experimentally determined counterweight to give the least vibratory motion was a little greater than the theoretically determined one. With the optimum counterweight it was possible to reduce up to about 87% of the amplitude without counterweight, which may be considered to be within safe operational region. (4) To avoid the actual operation of the cutter-bar at resonance which occured in low frequency ratio, it was considered that the rotational speed of the crank for a specific design of mower should be determined separately in connection with the desired cutting graph.

압출성형에 의한 난소화성 전분형성효과를 알아보고자 식품산업에 널리 이용되는 쌍축형(twin-screw) 압출성형기(extruder)를 사용하여 일반적으로 난소화성 전분 형성에 많이 사용되는 고아밀로즈 옥수수 전분의 압출성형 실험을 행하였다. 압출성형시 압출조건에 따른 난소화성 전분수율을 회분식 고압가열과 냉각에 의한 난소화성 제조방법과 비교, 실험하였다. 압출성형 조건은 스크류 회전 속도를 100 rpm으로 고정하여 바렐온도(100, 120, $140^{\circ}C$) 3가지 조건과 투입원료 수분함량(25, 35, 45%) 3가지 조건으로 총 9가지 조건에서 압출성형하였다. 또한 압출성형 전분의 $4^{\circ}C$ 저장시의 난소화성 수율 변화를 측정하였다. 난소화성 전분 측정법으로는 생체내 소화효소 반응과 유사한 pancreatin을 이용한 방법과 내열성 아밀라제 (Termamyl)에 의한 방법 2가지를 비교 실험하였다. Pancreatin을 이용한 난소화성 전분 수율 비교시 바렐온도가 낮을 때$(100^{\circ}C)$와 원료수분함량이 높을 때(45%)의 압출성형 전분이 가장 높은 수율(38.4%)을 나타내어 회분식 가열 냉각 5회 반복 처리한 시료의 난소화성 수율(25%) 보다 높았다. 같은 압출성형조건에서는 일반 전분의 압출성형전분이 고아밀로즈 압출성형 전분보다 낮은 난소화성 전분수율을 나타냈다. 내열성 아밀라제(Termamyl)에 의한 전분 수율 비교시, 회분식 가열냉각 5회 처리 시료는 27.5%의 수율을 보였으며 이는 압출 성형 전분의 난소화성 수율$(11.6{\sim}15.4%)$보다 다소 높은 값을 보였으며 같은 압출성형 조건에서 일반전분의 압출성형전분이 고아밀로즈 압출성형 전분보다 낮은 난소화성 전분수율을 나타냈다. 압출성형 고아밀로즈전분의 $4^{\circ}C$ 저장실험에서 4주 저장후 난소화성 수율은 pancreatin을 이용한 경우에는 바렐온도가 낮은 경우$(100^{\circ}C)$ 3가지 투입원료 조건(25, 35, 45%) 모두에서 60% 수준의 높은 난소화성 수율을 보였으나 내열성 아밀라제를 사용한 난소화성 수율은 상대적으로 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 이는 압출성형 전분의 $4^{\circ}C$ 저장시 호화된 전분의 일부 재결정화로 형성된 난소화성 전분이 $95^{\circ}C$ 30분간의 열처리 및 내열성 아밀라제의 처리에 의해 분해가능한 전분으로, 완전한 결정성구조를 가진 전분이 아닌 것으로 사료된다.
