The objective of this work was to study the effect of far infrared ray-vacuum drying having reflection and dispersion functions(RD-FRVD) and hot air drying(HAD) on the quality changes of dried vegetable flakes. HAD was regarded as a control. Browning degrees, color value, titratable acidity and pH value were measured as chemical evaluations. Rehydration and electron micrographs were investigated as physical evaluation. Microbial cells were counted. The color value and browning degrees were increased in both RD-FRVE and HAD. In case of degree of those changes, RD-FRVD made less changes than HAD. Especially, green bean sprout had no differences in color value and browning degrees between raw material and dried-rehydrated material. There were no significance differences in titratable acidity and pH value between raw material and dried-rehydrated material. The total microbial counts were gradually reduced in RD-FRVD. The rehydration rates of dried vegetable flakes were typically increased in RD-FRVD. Also, these results were investigated electron micrographs evaluation. Therefore, these results showed that the quality of dried-rehydrated vegetable flakes was typically enhanced by using RD-FRVD.

The efficient cryopreservation of embryos requires optimal times of dehydration and rehydration This study was carried out to investigate the effect of various times of dehydration and rehydration The effects were evaluated through testing morphological normality and developmental ability of 1 cell mouse embryos which were ultrarapidly frozen and thawed. The 1 cell embryos were dehydrated for 1.5, 3, 5, and 10 minutes using mPBS-BSA containing 3.SM DMSO and 0.25M sucrose on cooling chamber or on ice. After ultrarapidly frozen and thawed, they were rehydrated for 0, 0.5 and 5 minutes with mPBS-BSA containing 0.25M sucrose at room temperature. The results obtained were as follows: The embryos that were rehydrated for 0.5 minutes showed higher normality than the embryos for 0 and 5 minutes did. The embryos that were dehydrated for 10 minutes showed higher normality than the embryos for 1.5, 3, and 5 minutes did. The developmental ability of normal thawed-embryos was high in 10 minute dehydration treatment compared to other treatments. However, it was not affected by cooling methods (on ice and on cooling chamber) for embryo dehydration.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 잘 이용되지 않는 고구마 잎을 열풍건조하여 이들의 건조속도와 수화복원력을 조사하고, 일반성분, lutein 과 β-carotene 및 색도 등을 분석 비교 검토하여 고구마 잎의 건조 채소화를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 품종 간의 차이는 있었으나 온도가 높을수록 건조속도가 증가해 70℃에서 건조속도가 가장 빠르며, 60℃, 50℃, 40℃ 순서로 건조시간이 많이 소요되었다. 일반성분은 생엽에서 수분 87~88%로 많았으나 열풍건조 후 6~8% 이었다. 다른 일반성분은 온도별에 따른 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 기능성 성분인 lutein 함량은 신미 40℃에서 171.59 μg/g 많았으며, 하얀미 70℃에서 73.75 μg/g로 적었다. β-carotene 함량에서 신미가 40℃에서 379.59 μg/g 많고, 하얀미 70℃에서 170.78 μg/g로 적었다. 기능성 물질은 40℃에서 가장 많고 50℃, 60℃, 70℃ 순서로 함량이 감소되었다. 색도는 생잎과 건잎을 비교하였을 때 신미와 하얀미 모두 40℃에서 색이 유지되었으며, 수화복원성에서도 신미와 하얀미 모두 40℃에서 수화복원율이 각각 233.93%, 223.47%로 가장 높았다. 결과적으로 건조 고구마 잎의 품질은 건조시간보다는 온도 영향이 컸으며 저온건조가 상품적 가치가 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

도토리 묵을 인스턴트화 하기 위하여 생묵을 동결건조하여 재수화 시간, 재수화 용액의 염농도(0, 1, 2%) 및 온도(20, 70, 80, 9)에 따른 재수화 특성과 품질특성을 비교하였다. 동결건조묵의 최적 재수화 시간은 15분으로, Cooling 시간은 3분으로 각각 결정되었다. 재수화 효율은 재수화 용액의 염농도가 1%에서 가장 우수하였으며 재수화 온도가 높을수록 좋았다. 수분흡수속도상수도 재수화 온도가 증가할수록 놀았으며 1%의 염농도에서의
