  • The constraints of traditional fish drying in Bangladesh have been reviewed and an effective solar fish dryer was developed with the small-scale processors and fishermen using locally available cheaper materials in order to dry fish in coastal region. After successful field testing, new solar dryer was demonstrated within the community in 3 different locations of Cox's Bazar for several batches of operations in each location from late September to March and found very effective in terms of architectural suitability, operational feasibility, technical efficiency, out-put quality (good texture, colour, flavour and long storage time), user's acceptability, commercial viability and environmental adequacy. A simple cost-profit analysis was done with the community operated products, which indicates that the new solar fish dryers could be operated profitably in coastal regions where sun-light and air flows are abundant.

  • This experiment was carried out in order to collect the basic data on the standardization of the manufacturing process of Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch. var. purpurea Makino drying. By the drying methods of R. glutinosa, the content of water, inorganic components, reducing sugar, catalpol and benzo[${\alpha}$]pyrene were investigated. The water content was 15.6~17.2% when R. glutinosa was dried by cold-warm air moisture absorption drying method (CAMAD) at $60^{\circ}C$ during 6 days. Among of the inorganic components of R. glutinosa the K content was the most followed by P, Na, Ca and Mg. The reducing sugar content of R. glutinosa by the hot air drying method (HAD) was much more than that by the CAMAD. The catalpol content of R. glutinosa was not different by the drying temperature when it was dried by the CAMAD. The catalpol content of the large size tuber (about 50.0 g/unit) showed a tendency to increase from $60^{\circ}C$ until $70^{\circ}C$ drying temperature, but that of the small size tuber(about 4.0 g/unit) was decreased as being a trend as the drying temperature high when R. glutinosa was dried by the HAD, But the catalpol content R. glutinosa had a tendency to drop significantly at drying temperature above $80^{\circ}C$. The benzo[${\alpha}$]pyrene content was little detected when R. glutinosa was dried by both the SLD and the CAMAD, and the sampling by the HAD indicated within the scope of 5 ${\mu}g/kg$ which was the scope to regulate by Korean food and drug administration. In conclusion, it seemed that an appropriate drying temperature of R. glutinosa by the CAMAD and the HAD was about $60^{\circ}C$ and about $70^{\circ}C$, respectively, when we consider the catalpol content and benzo[${\alpha}$]pyrene detection in the manufacturing process of drying R. glutinosa.

  • Cholesterol oxidation products(COPs) such as 7-ketocholesterol, 7 ${\alpha}$, 7 ${\beta}$-hydroxycholesterol and 25-hydroxycholesterol were analyzed for ensuring the safety of squid during its drying and cooking. In addition. changes of malonaldehyde in squid during its drying and cooking were also investigated. Cholesterol was detected 636.4m9/1009 in fresh sample, which was decreased during its drying and cholesterol contents in dried sample were 468.9mg/100g, 486.8mg/100g, respectively, while COPs contents of sun and hot air dried samples increased about 6.2 times more than those contents of fresh sample. Regardless of cooking methods, the contents of COPs in dried products increased after cooking. Especially, those contents were determined 127.3 mg/g in sun dried samples were cooked by microwave oven. The malonaldehyde contents of dried products increased after cooking, its contents in cooked samples by an microwave oven after sun dried were about 4.3 times more than in control products. In general, a small quantity of COPs were formed in dried samples which were cooked by a steam.

  • This study was performed to improved the quality of dried persimmon. For this, the investigation of quality factor and processing experiments were performed. The moisture contents of dried persimmons were 30 to 36% and it was the most important component of the quality. Tannin contents were 0 to 20% and non-treated persimmon had higher tannin contents than treatment of carbon dioxide and alcohol. Total sugar contents were 55 to 60% and it was composed in glucose and fructose. Processing of dried persimmon by artificial-drying seemed to be useful when it needed to shorten the drying time or it continued rainy day during sun-drying. From the result of quality evaluation, sliced dried persimmon was better than whole dried persimmon in quality, so the sliced dried persimmon was expected that it has a little marketability.

  • Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic increased awareness regarding the importance of hand hygiene in infection prevention. Although social distancing and vaccination are the strongest ways to prevent infection, personal hand hygiene is the most basic and easiest way to maintain public health. However, in addition to hand washing using running water, sanitizing tissues, and disinfection products are convenient for hand hygiene, especially outdoors. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the appropriateness of individual hand hygiene methods. In this study, we investigated the degree of hand hygiene offered by various hygiene products and hand drying methods for maintaining hand hygiene. Methods: An LED UV light kit was used for fluorescent observation of hand contamination. Bacteria from the hands were cultured to compare the degree of hand hygiene offered by various hygiene products. Bacteria were cultured in a hand-shaped medium dish to identify areas vulnerable to hand hygiene. Moreover, the degree of hand hygiene was observed according to the drying method using bacterial cultures. Results: We confirmed that hand washing under running water with antibacterial soap, sanitizing with alcohol gel disinfectant, and wiping with antibacterial wet wipes was effective for hand hygiene compared to washing under running water alone. However, for all hygiene products, a large number of bacteria were detected on the fingertips. We verified that natural drying, rather than rubbing, is effective in maintaining hand hygiene. Conclusion: These results suggest that hand hygiene products and drying methods are critical in hand hygiene management. Therefore, these results provide a basis for determining whether an individual's hand hygiene management method is appropriate.

  • The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has been estimating the potential of insects as human food and animal feed for convincing food security since 2010. On account of this reason, Tenebrio molitor larvae have been gaining considerable attention as an alternative protein source for various foods. However, consumers do not prefer them because of their disgusting appearance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method that improve their appearance as to lead to T. molitor larvae consumption. In this study, T. molitor larvae which is prepared for optimally sampling conditions (shade drying, 30 min boiling after hot air drying, 30 min steaming after hot air drying), were cultured with Cordyceps militaris mycelia, and measured growth and density of mycelial. Also analyzed the cordycepin and adenosine content compared with commercial C. militaris. As a result, T. molitor larvae cultivated with C. militaris mycelia showed the highest cordycepin content (13.75 mg/g) was observed in optimal sampling conditions (shade drying). Therefore, we report that the methods which T. molitor larvae cultivated with C. militaris mycelia not only improve their appearance but also increase cordycepin content, which can be contributed to lead T. molitor larvae consumption.

  • Fresh, and sun- and oven-dried red peppers were analyzed for volatile components. Also, their odor-active compounds were determined using gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). More diverse volatile components, such as aldehydes, ketones, acids, and esters, were found in dried samples than in fresh ones. They included hexanal, ethyl acetate, ${\alpha}$-ionone, and ${\beta}$-ionone. Some Strecker aldehydes, 2-methyl butanal and 3-methyl butanal, were found only in dried red peppers. More hydrocarbons of high volatility and terpene-type components, such as ${\gamma}$-terpinene and aromadendrene, were detected only in fresh red peppers. A considerable amount of naphthalene was formed during sun-drying, whereas 2-furancarboxaldehyde, 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole and benzeneethanol were detected only in oven-dried red peppers. Characteristic odor of fresh ones could be attributed to 3-penten-2-o1, 2-methyl-2-butenal, 2-methoxy phenol, 2-hydroxy-methyl-benzoate, and 2-phenoxy ethanol, whereas some odorants, including 2-pentyl furan, naphthalene, hexyl hexanoate, and ${\alpha}$-ionone, could be responsible for distinctive odor property of sun-dried red peppers. 2-Furancarboxaldehyde, benzeneethanol, 4-vinyl-2-methoxy phenol, and unknown played important roles in odor property of oven-dried red peppers.
