In this study, the measurements of the dielectric constants of soil at 900 MHz and 1 GHz were made to relate those properties to the moisture content of the soil. This study's intention was to use the relationship between the dielectric constant and the moisture content to develop a landslide prediction system. By monitoring the change of the moisture content within the soil using ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems in the field, the possibility of a landslide is expected to be detected. To establish a database for the dielectric constants and the moisture content, the measurements of soil samples were made using both an open-ended dielectric coaxial probe and the GPR. Based on the measurement results, correlations between the GPR and reflector for each frequency at 900 MHz and 1 GHz were found for the dielectric constants and the moisture content. Finally, the mechanism of the measurement device to be implemented in the field is suggested.

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.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a technique for the non-destructive and rapid prediction of the moisture content in red pepper powder using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and a partial least squares regression (PLSR) model. Methods: Three red pepper powder products were separated into three groups based on their particle sizes using a standard sieve. Each product was prepared, and the expected moisture content range was divided into six or seven levels from 3 to 21% wb with 3% wb intervals. The NIR reflectance spectra acquired in the wavelength range from 1,100 to 2,300 nm were used for the development of prediction models of the moisture content in red pepper powder. Results: The values of $R{_V}{^2}$, SEP, and RPD for the best PLSR model to predict the moisture content in red pepper powders of varying particle sizes below 1.4 mm were 0.990, ${\pm}0.487%$ wb, and 10.00, respectively. Conclusions: These results demonstrated that NIR spectroscopy and a PLSR model could be useful techniques for measuring rapidly and non-destructively the moisture content in red pepper powder.

High moisture content of barley seeds, which were carried to the laboratory within 10 minutes after harvest, were stored in air tight bottle at constant temperature, and the individual moisture contents the grains were measured at predecided tim intervals. The theory of predicting the moisture movement between two kinds of different moisture content grains was tried to apply to the prediction of the moisture distribution and tried to apply to the prediction of the moisture distribution and the comparison of the predicted values with the observed dta showed the good suitability of the theory. The shape of the moisture distribution predicted form the theory were similar to the observed ones for the temperature range of 10 to $50^{\circ}C$. This study will be useful in designing the mix-storage facility or dryer.

커피의 저장 중 흡착에 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 인자로는 수분활성 및 온도이다. 따라서 커피의 제조공정 중 추출시 건조방법의 차이에 따른 세 종류의 제품에 대한 흡착 특성을 조사하고 수분활성, 온도 및 시간의 변화에 따른 흡착량을 측정하여 조건변수의 변화에 따른 흡착량의 변화를 예측할 수 있는 예측모델식을 수립하였다. 흡착거동은 전형적인 Sigmoid 형태를 나타냈으며 평형수분함량과 단분자층 수분함량은 동결 건조제품이 가장 높게 나타났으며 이는 건조방법에 의해 생성된 다공성구조에 기인된 것으로 사료된다. 기 발표된 여러 형태의 등온흡착곡선 모델식에 적용시켜 본 결과 Halsey 모델식의 상관계수 r값이 $0.98{\sim}0.99$로 가장 적합하였다. 또한 예측모델식은 SPSS COMPUTER PROGRAM을 이용하여 가장 오차가 적은 범위에서 수분활성, 온도 및 시간의 변화에 따른 흡착량의 변화를 예측할 수 있는 최종적인 모델식을 수립하였다.

This study was conducted to measure the moisture content of powdered food using RF impedance spectroscopic method. In frequency range of 1.0 to 30㎒, the impedance such as reactance and resistance of parallel plate type sample holder filled with wheat flour and red-pepper powder of which moisture content range were 5.93∼-17.07%w.b. and 10.87 ∼ 27.36%w.b., respectively, was characterized using by Q-meter (HP4342). The reactance was a better parameter than the resistance in estimating the moisture density defined as product of moisture content and bulk density which was used to eliminate the effect of bulk density on RF spectral data in this study. Multivariate data analyses such as principal component regression, partial least square regression and multiple linear regression were performed to develop one calibration model having moisture density and reactance spectral data as parameters for determination of moisture content of both wheat flour and red-pepper powder. The best regression model was one by the multiple linear regression model. Its performance for unknown data of powdered food was showed that the bias, standard error of prediction and determination coefficient are 0.179% moisture content, 1.679% moisture content and 0.8849, respectively.

멸치분말의 저장안정성을 알아보고자 80 mesh이상, 80-60 mesh, 60-40 mesh로 입자크기에 따라 분급하여 흡습특성을 조사하고 평형수분함량의 예측 모델식을 수립하였다. 평형수분함량은 수분활성도가 높아짐에 따라 빠르게 증가하는 양상이었으며, 높은 온도에서 낮은 함량을 나타내었다. 단분자층 수분함량은 BET식보다 GAB식이 더 높은 유의성을 보였으며 그 함량은 0.022-0.029 g $H_2O/g$ dry solid 였다. 수분활성도가 증가함에 따라 필요로 하는 흡습에너지가 낮아져 흡습엔탈피는 감소하여 흡습이 쉽게 이루어짐을 알 수 있었다. 등온흡습곡선의 적합도는 Kuhn 모델이 $R^2$ 0.94 이상으로 높은 적합도를 나타내었고, Halsey, Caurie, Oswin 모델순으로 적합도를 나타내었다. 흡습 중 평형상대습도 예측 모델을 수립하기 위해 온도와 수분활성도의 경우 일차함수, 시간의 경우 ln 함수가 높은 적합도를 보였으며, 수분활성도 예측모델식은 입자의 크기에 관계없이 상대습도와 시간으로 수립한 모델식의 적합도가 적절한 것으로 나타났다.

The objective of the research being presented was to construct and calibrate a spectrometer for the analysis of single kernels of corn. In light of the difficulties associated with capturing the spatial variability in composition of corn kernels by single-beam spectrometry, a hyperspectral imaging spectrometer was constructed with the intention that it would be used to analyze single kernels of corn for the prediction of moisture and oil content. The spectrometer operated in the range of 750- 1090 nanometers. After evaluating four methods of standardizing the output from the spectrometer, calibrations were made to predict whole-kernel moisture and oil content from the hyperspectral image data. A genetic algorithm was employed to reduce the number of wavelengths imaged and to optimize the calibrations. The final standard errors of prediction during cross-validation (SEPCV) were 1.22% and 1.25% for moisture and oil content, respectively. It was determined, by analysis of variance, that the accuracy and precision of single-kernel corn analysis by hyperspectral imaging is superior to the single kernel reference chemistry method (as tested).

Physical properties of soybean curd powder prepared with hot air, vacuum and freeze drying methods were investigated. Adsorption characteristics were studied under various water activities (such as 0.11, 0.33, 0.44, 0.55, 0.66, 0.75, 0.85, and 0.93) at 5℃, and prediction models were developed. Equilibrium moisture and monolayer moisture contents were the highest when freeze dried. due to the porous structure. In this result, Oswin model was the best fit for the isotherm of soybean curd. Sorption enthalpy indicated that high moisture content of powder showed lower sorption than that of low moisture content.
