Measurement methods of moisture content were compared with 7 dried vegetables (red pepper, onion, green onion, garlic, ginger, carrot and radish). The moisture contents of dried vegetables having different moisture contents were determined by atmospheric oven drying, infrared balance, vacuum oven and Karl Fisher methods. Vacuum oven and Karl Fisher methods gave the relatively agreed results and considered to give the accurate moisture content. Atmospheric oven drying and infrared balance methods resulted in higher moisture content than methods mentioned above, because of the thermal decomposition of solid. Calibration of the moisture data of atmospheric oven drying method into the vacuum oven data was undertaken. The thermodecomposable solid fraction was high in onion, radish, green onion and carrot, and was in the range of 8.0-11.7% of the total solid in these products.

In order to investigate the harvest time for the production of high value added ark shell(Scapharca subcrenata) cultured at the south coast of Korea, the seasonal variations of proximate composition(mois ture, protein, fat, ash and glycogen) in the edible portions of ark shell were measured from December 1994 to December 1995. Moisture contents were the lowest in spring, but the highest in summer season being the spawning season of the S. subcrenata. The other hand, protein contents were a maximum in spring and minimum in summer. In June, just before the spawning season, fat and glycogen content was the highest, and ash content was little changed through a year. After spawning season, glycogen contents, showed decrement. In evaluating the seasonal variation of protein, moisture, and glycogen content in ark shell, the relationships of moisture protein content, moisture glycogen content and glycogen protein content show to be reverse.

Predicting the amount and distribution of moisture content within wood allows calculating the various mechanical dynamics of the wood as well as determining the drying time. For boxed-heart wood with a large cross-section, since it is difficult to measure the moisture content of the interior, it is necessary to predict the moisture content distribution. This study predicted the moisture movement in boxed-heart red pine timber, during high temperature drying, by using the three-dimensional finite difference method for the efficient drying process. During drying for 72 h, the predicted and actual moisture content of the tested wood tended to decrease at a similar rate. In contrast, the actual moisture content at 196 and 240 h was lower than predicted because surface checking of the wood occurred from 72 h and excessive water emission was unexpectedly occurred from the checked and splitted surface.

The effect of moisture content an the reductive dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls and population dynamics of dechlorinating microorganisms was investigated in sediments spiked with Aroclor 1248. In sediment slurry with an overlying water layer, dechlorination ensued after a 4-week lag period and reduced the average number of chlorines per biphenyl from 3.91 to 3.15 after 48 weeks. In the sediments of reduced moisture content, however, dechlorination occurred after a lag period of 12 weeks and decreased the average number of chlorines per biphenyl to only 3.62, and the dechlorination rate was also slower. When the population size of dechlorinators, methanogens, and sulfate-reducing bacteria was determined by the most probable number techniques, however, no difference was found between the slurry and the low-moisture sediments, except for methanogens. The growth of dechlorinating populations coincided with the end of the lag period and they then increased by 3 orders of magnitude in two conditions. Specific growth rate of dechlorinators showed little difference between the slurry and the low-moisture sediments; however, growth yield was high in the sediments of reduced moisture content. The reduction of sediment moisture decreased the dechlorination rate and extent of PCBs but did not inhibit the growth of PCB dechlorinators.

Diatomite, bentonite and zeolite were used as porous materials for fabricating hygroscopic panels. Moisture adsorption and desorption of porous materials were investigated and hydrothermal method was applied to fabricate panels. Cheolwon diatomite and Pohang zeolite showed excellent characteristics of moisture adsorption and desorption. These characteristics were caused by higher surface area and pore volume of porous materials. Correlation coefficient between surface area and moisture adsorption content of porous materials was 0.93. Moisture adsorption contents were influenced by surface area and pore volume of panels, and surface area more effected on moisture adsorption. Correlation coefficient between surface area and moisture adsorption content of panels was 0.86. Moisture adsorption content of panel with 10% Pohang zeolite was $180\;g/m^2$ and that of 10% Cheolwon diatomite was $170\;g/m^2$. Moisture desorption content of panel with 10% Pohang zeolite was $105\;g/m^2$. Moisture adsorption contents of panel with porous materials were higher than that of panel without porous materials.

The change in moisture content of moisture sensitive products in moisture-semipermeable packages was investigated for the purpose of predicting the shelf life of a product-package combination. A mathematical model, and a computer program based on the physiochemical properties of the product and the moisture permeability of the package was developed. The moisture content for products in moisture-semipermeable packages was determined under various environmental conditions and the results were compared with the predicted values by means of the simulation model. These experimental studies demonstrated that the prediction of the change in moisture content of packaged products over time by the simulation model is accurate, within a practical range of temperature and relative humidity values. The developed semi-empirical model is considered to have applications in industry, since it provides product shelf life information for a range of temperature and relative humidity conditions, with a limited number of experimentally obtained data points.

온도와 수분함량의 상호작용이 들깨종자의 압착착유에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 생들깨와 볶은들깨의 기름 추출율(REO) 및 압착케이의 부피변형율(VSPC)을 온도와 수분함량을 변화시켜가며 측정하였다. 본 실험을 위해 들깨종자의 수분함량을 2.5, 4.5, 6.5 및 8.5% (w.b.), 압착온도를 30, 40, 50 및 $60^{\circ}C$, 압착시간을 11분 그리고 압착압력을 50 MPa로 각각 조절하였다. 생들깨 및 볶은들깨의 REO 및 VSPC는 온가 낮을 때에는 수분함량이 높을수록 크게 나타났으나, 온도가 높을 때에는 수분함량이 낮을수록 크게 나타났다. 그러나 수분함량 8.5%에서는 온도에 관계없이 작았다. 압착요인과 REO 및 VSPC과의 관계를 분산분석한 결과 온도와 수분함량의 영향은 높은 유의성을 보여주었다. 또한 온도보다는 온도와 수분함량사이의 상호작용효과가 더 큰것으로 나타났다. 온도와 수분함량 사이의 상호작용이 가장 크게 나타난 구간은 본 실험조건의 모든 온도에서 수부함량 $2.5{\sim}4.5%$이었다. 최대 REO는 생들깨의 경우 수분함량 2.5%와 $60^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 84.4%이었고, 볶은들깨는 수분함량 6.5%와 $30^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 84.3% 이었다.

The effects of variable moisture content, screw speed and barrel temperature on the physicochemical properties of red ginseng powder extrudates were investigated. The raw red ginseng powders were processed in a co-rotating intermeshing twin-screw extruder. Primary extrusion variables were feed moisture content (20 and 30%), screw speed (200 and 250 rpm) and barrel temperature (115 and $130^{\circ}C$). Extruded red ginseng showed higher crude saponin contents (6.72~7.18%) than raw red ginseng (5.50%). Tested extrusion conditions did not significantly affect the crude saponin content of extrudates. Increased feed moisture content resulted in increased bulk density, specific length, water absorption index (WAI), breaking strength, elastic modulus and crude protein content and decreased water solubility index (WSI) and expansion (p<0.05). Increased barrel temperature resulted in increased total sugar content, but decreased reducing sugar content in the extrudate (p<0.05). Furthermore, increased barrel temperature resulted in increased amino acid content and specific length and decreased expansion and bulk density of extrudates only at a higher feed moisture content. The physicochemical properties of extrudates were mainly dependent on the feed moisture content and barrel temperature, whereas the screw speed showed a lesser effect. These results will be used to help define optimized process conditions for controlling and predicting qualities and characteristics of extruded red ginseng.

분리대두단백의 조직화에 대한 스크류 회전속도와 원료 수분함량의 영향을 조사하였다. 수분함량이 증가함에 따라 토출구온도는 감소하였으며 210rpm에서 가장 높은 온도를 나타내었다. 수용성 질소지수는 수분함량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며 고속보다는 저속에서 감소폭이 컸다. 조직잔사지수는 낮은 수분함량과 고속 rpm에서 높게 나타났으며 조직감의 강도는 이와 반대의 경향이었다. 또한 원료의 수분함량이 증가할수록 최종 압출성형물의 수분함량이 증가하였고 고속 rpm일수록 낮은 수분함량을 나타내었다. 밀도의 경향도 이와 일치하였다. 재흡수력의 경우는 수분함량 30%에서 최고치를 나타내었으며 고속 rpm에서 증가하였다. 복원전의 명초는 복원 후 보다 높은 수치를 보였고 고속회전일 수록 명도가 밝아졌다. 성상에 있어서도 저수분, 고속 rpm에서 높은 명도와 높은 정화도가 관찰되었다. 분산분석을 통해서 스크류 회전속도보다 원료의 수분함량이 조직화 성질을 나타내는 각 지표에 더 깊은 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다.

옥수수전분과 찰옥수수전분을 사용하여 중간 수분계의 수분함량으로 반죽을 제조하고 수분함량과 가열온도, 가열시간에 따른 전분 반죽의 물성 변화와 호화양상을 밝혀보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 전분반죽과 같은 반고체(semi-solid) 물질의 물성을 측정할 수 있는 Extrusion Capillary Viscometer(ECV)를 자체 제작하였다. ECV를 사용하여 수분함량 $36{\sim}52%$ 범위로 제조된 옥수수전분과 찰옥수수전분 반죽의 물성측정 시 반죽의 열전달 특성은 가열온도 $60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 수분함량이 36%에서 52%로 증가할수록 반죽의 중심온도가 원하는 가열온도에 도달하는데 걸리는 시간이 220초에서 140초로 크게 단축되었다. 가열 후 ECV로 물성을 측정한 결과, 수분함량과 가열온도의 모든 범위에서 반죽은 의가소성 유체의 흐름 특성을 나타내었다. 동일한 전단속도에서는 반죽 수분함량이 증가할수록 전단응력과 전단점도가 전체적으로 감소하여 수분함량 증가에 따른 반죽의 유동성(flowability) 증가 영향이 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 44% 이상의 동일 수분함량 내에서는 $80^{\circ}C$ 이상의 가열온도부터는 동일한 전단속도에서 $80^{\circ}C$ 이하로 가열한 반죽에 비해 전단응력과 전단점도가 증가하는 경향을 보여 주었다. 반죽의 점도에 미치는 수분함량의 영향은 수분함량이 증가할수록 반죽의 유동성의 크기가 증가하여 전체적으로 전단응력이나 점도가 감소하는 것으로 나타나지만, 가열온도가 호화온도 이상인 $80^{\circ}C$부터는 전분호화에 의한 점도 증가에 의하여 수분함량에 따른 농도 의존성지수(B)값이 크게 감소하고 $60^{\circ}C$나 $70^{\circ}C$ 가열온도보다도 수분함량의 영향이 적게 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
