This study aimed to identify milling characteristics depending on the number of a cutting roller’s air vent and blowing velocity to remove rice bran by the cutting type milling machine which can minimize the conventional milling process. The level of whiteness was found to be 38±0.5 in all the conditions, showing consistent whiteness levels during milling. The rice temperatures turned out to be 15.4 and 14.6oC which were rather low-level under the conditions of the cutting roller with 3 vents and blowing velocities of 35 and 40 m/s respectively. Cracked rice ratio was 2.13% under the conditions of the cutting roller with 3 vents and a blowing velocity of 35 m/s. Broken rice ratio showed the range of 0.762-0.869%, reflecting a low level. Turbidity after milling was decreased, as blowing velocity became faster. Energy consumption for milled rice production was decreased, as blowing velocity became faster. The optimum milling condition for cutting type milling machine depending on air vent number of cutting roller and blowing velocity was found to be 3 vents and 35 m/s.

The purpose of this study was to verify the drying characteristics of steamed sweet potato and to establish optimal drying conditions for far-infrared drying of steamed sweet potato. 4 kg of steamed sweet potato was sliced to thicknesses of 8 and 10 mm, and dried by a far-infrared dryer until a final moisture content of 25±0.5%. The far-infrared dryer conditions were an air velocity of 0.6, 0.8 m/s and drying temperature of 60, 70, and 80oC. The results can be summarized as follows. The drying time tended to be reduced as temperature and air velocity for drying increased. The Lewis and Modified Wang and Singh models were found to be suitable for drying of steamed sweet potato by a far-infrared dryer. The color difference was 35.09 on the following conditions: Thickness of 8 mm, temperature of 80oC, and air velocity of 0.8 m/s. The highest sugar content (59.11 oBrix) was observed on the conditions of a thickness of 8 mm, temperature of 80, and air velocity of 0.8 m/s. Energy consumption decreased on the conditions of higher temperature, slower air velocity, and thinner steamed sweet potato.

본 연구에서는 파장의 위상차를 변화시켜 균일한 살균을 유도할 수 있고 저전력으로 효과를 높일 수 있는 QRD(quadratic residue diffusor) 마이크로파를 이용하여 챔버 내부의 위치에 따른 온도변화를 측정하여 효율성과 균등성을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 챔버 내부의 수직 35cm, 중앙 위치에서는 7kW 조사시 가장 효율이 높게 나타났고, 좌우측 위치에서는 5kW에서 효율성이 높았다. 그리고 마그네트론 No. 1, 2, 3에서 3kW로 하였을 때, Bar의 위치에 따른 온도 균등성은 1Bar와 2Bar의 위치에서는 거의 비슷하게 나타났다. 마그네트론 No. 3, 4, 5의 3kW로 하였을 경우에는 3Bar에서 온도가 약 10~ 20% 정도 높게 나타났고 마그네트론 용량을 5, 7, 9kW로 하였을 때, 조사 시간에 대한 평균 온도는 Bar의 위치에 무관하게 거의 유사한 형태로 증가하였다. 반면에 챔버의 적정 내용적에 대한 효율성은 조사용량에 반드시 비례하지는 않았다. 마그네트론 3kW를 60, 120, 180초 동안 조사하였을 경우 마그네트론 조사 위치에 따라 구석 부분에서 약 5~10oC 더 높게 상승하였고 수평면의 위치별 온도 분포는 비교적 균일하였으며 부분적으로 구 석부분에서 약간 더 온도가 상승하는 경향이 있었다. 마그네트론 5, 7, 9kW 조사에서는 Bar의 위치와 상관없이 전반적으로 온도가 비교적 균일하게 상승하고 있었다.

The dissemination process of agricultural research and development (R&D) results has somewhat different characteristics from that of typical R&D results. However, these characteristics are not adequately considered on the basis of an examination of the current performance system, the resulting management plans, and strategies for the application and dissemination of the results of agricultural R&D in Korea. The performance evaluation indicator exposed the problem of the inadequate consideration of the characteristics of each of these areas, particularly the lack of unified R&D-related institutions and the inadequacy of the system to monitor outcomes. To address these shortcomings in the agricultural R&D programs in Korea, the policies pertaining to agricultural R&D performance, results management, and dissemination in the U.S. and Japan were examined. Based on these investigations, we proposed strategies to improve the agricultural R&D policies in Korea.
