분자압축 탈수공정에 의한 색도변화는 재사용 탈수액을 적용한 건조공정에서 원물과 유사한 색도를 나타내었다. 수분 및 수분활성도에서도 유의적 경향이 일치하였다. 탈수액의 농도와 첨가량에 의한 탈수율과 복원율의 변화에서는 탈수액의 농도 차이에 따라 탈수율은 달라졌으며 농도가 커질수록 탈수율이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 복원율 역시 탈수액 농도가 낮을수록 완만한 복원율을 나타내었고 탈수액의 농도가 높을수록 복원율이 높았다. 탈수액의 첨가량에 의한 탈수

Ginger was dried using maltodextrin or recycled dehydration liquid as dehydrating agents, and the quality of dried ginger was compared with that of freeze-dried and hot-air-dried samples in terms of color, moisture content, water activity, dehydration rate, rehydration rate, and sensory properties. Ginger prepared using molecular press dehydration (MPD) retained its original color. The dehydration rate increased when ginger was dried using a dehydrating agent. The rehydration rate was increased in ginger dried using such an agent. Both dehydration and rehydration rates were elevated with increasing concentrations of soluble solids in the dehydration liquid. The sensory qualities of ginger prepared using the MPD method were better than those of freeze-dried and hot air-dried samples. These results indicate that drying of ginger rhizomes using recycled dehydrating liquid is very efficient.
