풋고추의 저장성 향상을 위한 저장전 열처리 조건을 구명하기 위하여 풋고추를 50, 55, 60, 의 온수에 각각 10초 침지하여 열처리를 하였다 에서 10초 열처리한 경우는 열처리 직후 과육표면에 가열장해 현상이 나타났다. 온수에서 침지한 풋고추를 1의 저장고에서 4주 동안 저장하면서 관능적 품질, 화학적 품질과 미생물학적 품질을 측정하였다. 표면 색도 중 L 값은 저장 중 조금씩 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, a 값과 b 값은 저장 3주까지는 거의

CA저장 중 저장기체 조성에 따른 사과 Fuji의 증산속도를 측정하고, 같은 조건에서 증산속도를 예측하기 위한 수학적 모델을 설정하여 증산속도를 예측하였다. 온도 , 상대습도 98%, 공기 유속 0.25m/s의 저장조건에서 6주 동안 CA저장하였을 때 사과 Fuji의 호흡속도는 일반저온저장에 비하여 50%이하로 낮출 수 있었다. 같은 저장조건에서 일반저온저장에서의 사과의 증산속도가 CA저장에 비하여 50~70 % 높았으며, 일정한 산소농도의 CA

마늘을에서 일반 대기 및 CA 조건 하에서 4개월 저장하면서 기간 및 조건에 따른 저장 중 마늘의 생리적 품질을 폭정하고 pungency와 fructan 등의 화학적 성분 변화를 분석하였다. 저장 중 마늘의 생리적 품질은 저장 조건에 대해서 큰 차이는 없었으나, CA 저장한 마늘이 일반 대기에서 저장한 마늘에 비해서 수분 감량이 더 많이 일어나 dry weight와 경도가 낮게 나타났다. 표면색은 저장 4개월에서 어둡고 진하게 변했다. CA 저장이 마늘

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.

To convert the analog signal from the drying process into the digital signal, the interface circuit was designed and built. To measure the weight and temperature during drying process, strain gauge type load cell and temperature transducer composed of pt 100 thermometers and wheatstone bridge circuits were built and used. The temperature control device was composed of photocoupler and triac. Microcomputer aided experimental convective drying system was built with above cricuits and devices. Drying characteristics of onions can be estimated using this system.

For the measurement of the change of respiration rate caused by the gas content of storage atmosphere which furnishes important data for the interpretation of ULO storage, GC was used. It has been shown that the respiration rate and respiratory heat generation rate of Fuji apple is more than doubled in normal low temperature storage when compared with ULO storage, and that in ULO storage the respiration rate and respiratory heat generation rate directly proportional to the concentration of O2 in storage atmosphere as well as inversely proportional to that of CO2. It was possible to establish a functional formula for the respiratory heat generation rate of Fuji apple in all the storage conditions in terms of u=-0.7638+0.0003 O2-0.0007 log(CO2)+0.1369 log(Tb) concerning temperature and the concentration of O2 and CO2

A microcomputer system consisting of 16-bit microcomputer, PCL-711S interface board, censors, and converters have been set up in order to automatically measure temperature, humidity and weight loss which are major variables of storage of apple. This system was operated by PC-LabDAS software. It has been possible to measure continuously the weight loss of Fuji apple stored in CA with the weight converter made by a miniature load cell and a strain amplifier. The temperature was checked by a k-type thermocouple and Pt 100 RTD, and humidity by PQ653JAl humidity sensor. It has been possible to set up a linear equation which showers high correlationship between the estimate of temperature, weight humidity and the output of the converter in that r2 is more than 0.99. Transpiration rate, a significant factor of quality deterioration for CA storage of apple, can be estimated with these values.
