Chemical composition and microscopic observation of white powder developed in the surface of dried persimmon which produced in several region in Korea were studied. Sugar content in flesh of dried persimmon was $56{\sim}59%$ and composed of glucose and fructose. White powder developed in the surface of dried persimmon was composed of sugar 84.6%, moisture 12.5% and insoluble matter 2.7%, respectively. The major sugar of white powder was glucose with 83.3% and fructose was 16.7%. With scanning electron microscopic obsevation, white powder was seen the shape like a plate, flower, needle and horn, and it was similiar to the shape of recrystalized glucose after hydration. White powder in surface of dried persimmon was seemed that glucose and fructose in flesh were migrated with moisture to drying surface during drying process and glucose was crystalized in the surface of dried persimmon.

Mulberry fruits were semi-dried using hot air ($60-100^{\circ}C$) or cool air ($20-40^{\circ}C$), and the effects of the drying temperature and processing time on the quality of the final dried mulberry fruits were investigated. Response surface methodology was employed to establish a statistical model and predict the conditions resulting in minimal loss of the total phenolic content (TPC) and ascorbic acid. Thus, using overlapped contour plots, the optimal conditions for producing semi-dried mulberry fruits, which reduced the moisture residue to 45% and minimized the nutrient losses of TPC and ascorbic acid, were determined for the hot-air process ($60.7^{\circ}C$ for 5.4 h) and cool-air process ($34.8^{\circ}C$ for 23.3 h). Plus, a higher drying temperature was found to lead to a faster loss of moisture and ascorbic acid, while the TPC was significantly decreased in the cool-air dried mulberry fruits due to the higher activity of polyphenol oxidase between 30 and $40^{\circ}C$.

To verify the color change in dried laver postproduction during the heating process, chromaticity elements were compared via a spectrophotometer across various heating conditions within the visible light spectrum. In general, the moisture reduction rate increased with rising temperature and time. Surface image comparisons revealed an expanded area of light reflection on the heat-treated dried laver sample due to surface roughening from shrinkage. No statistically significant differences in chromaticity values were observed in the measurements of brightness (L^*), redness (a^*), and yellowness (b^*). Reflectance spectrum measurements in the visible light region confirmed high reflectance under red wavelength conditions. In particular, a significant increase in reflectance at 700 nm compared with untreated samples was noted. The correlation between the increase in 700 nm reflectance of dried laver samples and heating conditions ranged from 0.7471 to 0.7793, suggesting its potential use as an indicator for comparing color changes in dried laver based on heating conditions.

The physical and chemical properties of the dried low rank coals (LRCs) before and after the surface treatment using ozone and ammonia were characterized in this study. The contents of moisture, volatiles, fixed carbon and ash consisting of dried LRCs before the surface treatment were about 2.0, 44.8, 44.9 and 8.9%, respectively. Also, it was composed of carbon of 62.66%, hydrogen of 4.33%, nitrogen of 0.94%, oxygen of 27.01% and sulfur of 0.09%. The dried LRCs was surface-treated with the various dry methods using gases such as ozone at room temperature, ammonia at $200^{\circ}C$ and then the dried LRCs before and after the surface treatment were characterized by the various analysis methods such as FT-IR, TGA, proximate and elemental analysis, caloric value, ignition test, adsorption of $H_2O$ and $NH_3-TPD$. As a result, the oxygen content increased and the calorific value, ignition temperature and the contents of carbon and hydrogen relatively decreased because the oxygen-contained functional groups were additionally generated by the surface oxidation with ozone which plays a role as an oxidant. Also, its $H_2O$ adsorption ability got higher because the hydrophilic oxygen-contained functional groups were additionally generated by the surface oxidation with ozone. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the dried LRCs after the surface treatment with $NH_3$ at $200^{\circ}C$ have the decreased oxygen content, but the increased calorific value, ignition temperature and contents of carbon and hydrogen because of the decomposition of oxygen-contained functional groups the on the surface. In addition, the $H_2O$ adsorption ability was lowered bucause the surface of the dried LRCs might be hydrophobicized by the loss of the hydrophilic oxygen-contained functional groups. It was concluded that the various physico-chemical properties of the dried LRCs can be changed by the surface treatment.

This study developed a deep learning model that distinguishes the front (with garnish) and the back (without garnish) surface of the dried semi-finished product (dried bukak) for screening operation before transfter the dried bukak to oil heater using robot's vacuum gripper. For deep learning model training and verification, RGB images for the front and back surfaces of 400 dry bukak that treated by data preproccessing were obtained. YOLO-v5 was used as a base structure of deep learning model. The area, surface information labeling, and data augmentation techniques were applied from the acquired image. Parameters including mAP, mIoU, accumulation, recall, decision, and F1-score were selected to evaluate the performance of the developed YOLO-v5 deep learning model-based surface detection model. The mAP and mIoU on the front surface were 0.98 and 0.96, respectively, and on the back surface, they were 1.00 and 0.95, respectively. The results of binary classification for the two front and back classes were average 98.5%, recall 98.3%, decision 98.6%, and F1-score 98.4%. As a result, the developed model can classify the surface information of the dried bukak using RGB images, and it can be used to develop a robot-automated system for the surface detection process of the dried bukak before deep frying.

This study aims to evaluate theoretically heat transfer characteristics and heat flux performance in ondol system of dried type is composed of panel of ceramics to improve of thermal conductivity and fin to expand heat. To this end, we analyzed effect of design factors(temperature of hot water, set temperature of room and thermal conductivity of finishing materials) in ondol system of dried type by heat transfer analysis. The main results of this study are summarized as follows; The deviation of heat flux and temperature was reduced by heat expansion from fin decreasing heat loss generated in air layer. The temperature and heat flux in upper finishing materials surface linearly increased according to temperature increment of hot water, but the temperature distribution in upper surface was assessed uneven. The greater heat resistance value of upper finishing materials, the deviation of maximum temperature and minimum temperature was decreased. Also, we suggested a basic design data about ondol system of dried type through an analysis of simulation results on heat transfer characteristics and heat flux performance.

The specific objectives of this study were to dry yam chips using microwave vacuum drying, freeze drying and hot air drying, then to coat the dried yam chips with ascorbic acid cocrystallized sucrose, and finally to compare the quality of yam chip snack foods with respect to drying and coating characteristics. The microwave vacuum dried sample showed the highest drying rates and much less surface damage than the hot air dried one did. The shape and color of the microwave vacuum dried/coated sample were allocated between those of the freeze dried/coated sample and the hot air dried/coated sample. The freeze dried/coated sample scored excessively low in organoleptic hardness and chewiness to be suitable as a snack. The hot air dried/coated sample was too deep in color, wrinkled, excessively high in organoleptic hardness and chewiness, and excessively low in mouthfeeling. Therefore, the microwave vacuum dried/coated sample presented the best overall attributes as a snack, with respect to organoleptic characteristics, shape, color, and drying rates.

In this paper, micro dried bio-potential electrodes are demonstrated for sEMG (surface ElectroMyoGraphic) signal measurement using conductive epoxy on the textile fabric. Micro dried bio-potential electrodes on the textile fabric substrate have several advantages over the conventional wet/dry electrodes such as good feeling of wearing, possibility of extended-wearing due to the good ventilation. Also these electrodes on the textile fabric can easily apply to the curved skin surface. These electrodes are fabricated by the screen-printing process with the size of $1mm{\times}10mm$ and the resultant resistance of these electrodes have the average value of $0.4{\Omega}$. The conventional silver chloride electrode shows the average value of $0.3{\Omega}$. However, the electrode on the textile fabric are able to measure the sEMG signal without feeling of difference and this electrode shows the lower resistance of $1.03{\Omega}$ than conventional silver chloride electrode with $2.8{\Omega}$ in the condition of the very sharp curve surface (the radius of curvature is 40 mm).

Agar has widely been used as medical aids and food ingredients due to its pecular physicochemical and rheological properties. In this paper, the effects of spray drying and extrusion drying on functional properties of agar were investigated to clarify the sol-gel transition mechanism at low temperature and microstructure of agar gel by measuring phase transition by differential scanning calorimetery, structural differences by light microscope and scanning electron microscope observation. The lowest endothermic onset(To), peak(Tp), conclusion(Tc) temperature and enthalpy($\Delta$H) using differential scanning calorimetery were showed in extrusion-dried agar wic were checked in 41.30, 61.72, 80.50 and 0.73cal/g. In cases of unmodified and spray-dried, the values were 81.20, 95.51, 112.14 and 3.22cal/g, and 60.11, 76.45, 89.54 and 1.53cal/g, respectively. When all samples were reheated using differential scanning calorimetery after gelling fully, no significant differences of endothermic To, Tp, Tc and $\Delta$H appeared. The surface structure of unmodified agar powder observed by light microscope and scanning electron microscope appeared a continuous surface without any indication of small pores, gaps or point of discontinuity. In cases of spray-dried agar, the unstable structures with pores was resulted. The microstructures of extrusion-dried agar, however, was solid with large gaps and areas of discontinuity in the surface. From the results above, it was suggested that significant differences in phase transition and surface microstructures were clearly related to the physicochemical changes and rheological properties, solubility and gelling ability of the types of agar gel.

Semi-dried mulberry fruit can be distributed at room temperature and maintained its chewy texture and shape. It can be used for its own itself or food materials. We develop the honey coating semi-dried mulberry fruit manufacturing method through hot air dryer. After extracting the moisture from the thawing process, honey was coated and dried. Drying time for semidried mulberry fruit was shortened by manufacturing on the day of work without going through aging process. The first the mulberry fruit juice was separated from the frozen mulberry fruit at room temperature of the laboratory or in the dryer of $60{\sim}90^{\circ}C$, then the first dried by a hot air drier at $60^{\circ}C$ for 3 to 4 h. Next, it is coated with honey, which is equivalent to 20% weight of the first dried mulberry fruit, and then the second dried at a temperature of $38^{\circ}C$ for 20 ~ 30 h. The honey coating semi-dried mulberry fruit by above method was shiny on the surface and retained its shape. The moisture content was about 15% and it was confirmed that it could be stored at room temperature.
