We examined the drying characteristics and the drying rate model equation of garlic(allium sativum L.) using computer aided convective drying. The drying chanacteristic curve of garlic divided into constant rate drying period and 2 stage of falling rate drying period. The drying rate was fairly affected by hot air temperatures during the total drying period, but air flow rates has nearly no effect on the drying rate except initial drying period. Of the several model equation, r2 values of page model equation was the highest, and the estimated drying profiles were comparatively coincided with the observed drying profiles. Page model equation was suitable to predict the drying rate and moisture content during drying of sliced garlic.

In this study, we evaluated the effect of the type of sewage sludge (digested, non digested) on drying efficiency according to the polymer injection rate. The drying characteristics were shown using a near-infrared ray (NIR) and a microwave. As a result of the drying characteristics with NIR at a polymer dose ratio of 8%, the heating up period is up to 6 minutes after the start of the drying experiment. Afterwards, the constant rate drying period of the digested sludge (A, C and G sites) was 6 minute → 18 minute, showing a rapid decrease in moisture. On the other hand, non digested sludge (B, D, E, F, H, I, J and K sites) showed gradual drying characteristics compared to digested sludge until complete drying (10%). As the polymer dose ratio of 10% and 12%, the heating up period for digested sludge is up to 6 minute after the start of the experiment. Afterwards, the constant rate drying period of the digested sludge was 6 minute → 20 minute, showing a rapid decrease in moisture. On the other hand, the heating up period of non digested sludge was up to 10 minute after the start of the experiment, and the constant rate drying period was 10 minute → 22 minute, which was shorter than digested sludge. As a result of the drying characteristics with microwave at a polymer dose ratio of 8%, 10% and 12%, the constant rate drying period the digested sludge was 4 minute → 20~22 minute, showing a rapid decrease in moisture. On the other hand, non digested sludge of the constant rate drying period was 4 minute → 22~30 minute, which was longer than digested sludge.

At present, no appropriate drying conditions can be found for the heated-air drying of mushroom in Korea. Usually, mushroom is being dried at the temperature range of 40 to $50^{\circ}C$ until the moisture content reaches 10~13% (wb). However, drying characteristics of the mushroom should be investigated for quality improvement and efficient drying operation of the mushroom. The results of this study may be summarized as follows ; 1. The effect of air temperature on the rate of drying was greater than that of relative humidity for drying of mushroom, and the rate of drying was increased with increase in the air temperature. 2. Drying rate for Shiitake mushroom showed falling-rate period of drying without constant-rate period of drying. Drying rate for Oyster mushroom showed a short constant-rate period at the initial stage of drying process, and followed by falling-rate period of drying. 3. Exponential and App.-Diffusion models were found to describe well the drying process of Shiitake mushroom. Exponential and Thompson models for Oyster mushroom in which Thompson model was the most suitable for Oyster mushroom. 4. The equilibrium moisture content of the mushroom decreased with decrease in the air temperature and increase in the relative humidity. In room condition($20^{\circ}C$, 54% RH), the calculated values of the equilibrium moisture content showed 11.17% for Shiitake mushroom and 13.19% for Oyster mushroom, respectively.

고주파를 이용한 오니의 건조특성에 대하여 살펴보고 재래식 건조특성과 비교 분석하였다. 고주파 건조는 빠른 속도와 높은 효율을 보였다. 재래식 건조에서는 항율건조기간이 나타나지 않았고 수분은 모세관현상에 의하여 이동하였다. 오니의 수분 중 자유수와 결합수는 존재하지 않았다. 고주파 건조에서 감율건조기간이 두 부분으로 나타났으며, 수분의 이동은 확산에 의하여 일어났다. 증발 표면적이 커질수록 수분의 제거가 촉진되었고, 오니의 지름이 커질수록 넓은 범위의 항율건조 기간이 나타났으며, 모양에 따라서도 건조특성이 다르게 나타났다. 고주파 건조에서는 오니의 중심부에서 가장 먼저 온도가 상승하였으며, 항율건조기간에서 $80{\sim}100^{\circ}C$로 일정하게 유지되면서 가장 높았다.

This study was performed to find out drying characteristics and develop drying model for the design of an efficient dryer or drying system of red peper. The basic model which describes drying phenomenon of red pepper was firstly established, and drying tests were conducted at 14-different drying conditions. In this test, the effects of drying air temperature and relative humidity on the rate of drying were undertaken. Finally, a new drying model based on these experimental results was developed to describe the drying characteristics of red pepper. The results from this study may be summarized as follows. 1. Drying constant of the basic model established from Lewis' experimental model and diffusion equation was theoretically deduced as a function of moisture content and inner-temperature of red pepper. 2. From the results of drying tests, drying air temperature was found to have the greatest effect on the rate of drying. However, the effect of temperature was small for the condition of high relative humidity, and for low temperature, the effect of relative humidity was found to be large even though the range of relative humidity was low. 3. Modified Henderson equation was found to be better than Chung equation as the EMC model for the estimation of the equilibrium moisture content of red Pepper. 4. Constant-rate drying period did not exist in the red pepper drying test. And falling-rate drying period was divided into three distinct phases. Drying rate was dependent on the moisture content, the inner-temperature of red pepper and the change of physical property due to drying. 5. Drying constant increased with decrease of free moisture content, but it decreased at the end of the drying period. Also, drying constant was dependent on the drying air temperature and relative humidity. 6. The new drying model developed in this study was found to be most suitable in describing the drying characteristics of red pepper. Therefore, it may be concluded that drying time could be accurately estimated by the new drying model.

녹용의 상품화를 위해서는 건조과정이 필요하다. 지금까지의 인공건조는 사육농가 스스로의 경험에 의한 건조가 대부분으로 이는 건조시설 및 건조방법의 미흡으로 비효율적이며, 건조 중 변질되거나 먼지, 세균 등에 오염되기 쉽다. 최근 선진국에서는 농산물의 고품질건조를 위한 다양한 건조방법들이 실용화되고 있으며 마이크로파를 이용한 건조방법도 그 중의 하나이다. 이러한 점에 착안한 본 연구에서는 우리가정에 널리 보급되어 있는 전자레인지를 이용한 녹용의 건조 가능성 여부를 검토하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 녹용의 각질화 여부가 건조시간에 많은 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타나, 건조시간과 건조소요에너지를 줄이기 위해서는 녹용을 부위별로 절편하여 건조시키는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 2. 같은 건조시간에서도 템퍼링 시간의 길고 짧음에 따라 건조속도가 다르게 나타났으며, 각질화 진행 정도에 따라 템퍼링 시간의 조절이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 3. 전자레인지를 이용한 녹용의 건조는 2분 건조 후 3분 템퍼링을 반복하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 4 본 실험결과 전자레인지의 마이크로파를 이용한 건조기술을 녹용 건조에 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 5. 본 연구에서는 건조시간과 템퍼링 시간에 따른 건조만을 검토하였으나, 앞으로의 연구는 건조 후의 녹용의 성분변화 여부에 대한 검토가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
