표고버섯의 열풍건조속도론(熱風乾燥速度論)에 관한 연구(硏究)

Dehydration phenomena has been studied for the shiitake mushroom Lentinus edodes sanryun No.1, through which examine the effect of temperature and air velocity and derivation of its kinetics. Temperature effect for the dehydration rate constant were examined under the constant air velocity (1.5m/sec) with the variation of temperature from $40^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$. Water content were reduced exponentially with the course of time and calculated dehydration rate constant values varies with temperature with an Arrhenius-type relationship, which had been expected in the chemical reaction kinetics. Influence of air velocity for the dehydration rate constant under the constant temperature $(45^{\circ}C)$ showed interesting results. For the range 1.0m/sec to 2.0m/sec, dehydration rate constant values are increased with the air velocity, but for the 2.0 to 3.1m/sec, dehydration rate constant values are decreased which were caused by case hardening. One of the selected conditions in the optimal dehydration range, temperature $50^{\circ}C$, air velocity 2m/see, and its measured humidity 38-41%, mathematical model of dehydration curve and dehydration rate equations were developed and the resulting kinetic models were X=6.94 $e^{-0.345t}$ and dx/dt = -2.39 $e^{-0.345t}$

열풍에 의한 표고버섯의 건조현상을 속도론적으로 규명하기 위해서 건조속도를 좌우하는 두 가지 인자에 대해서 그 영향을 고찰한 후 선정된 조건에서 건조곡선 및 건조속도식을 유도하였다. 일정 풍속(1.5m/sec)하에서 온도의 변화$(45{\sim}55^{\circ}C)$를 주었을 때 수분의 감소는 지수함수적으로 감소하였으며 감소율은 온도가 높을수록 더욱 높았다. 온도를 $(45^{\circ}C)$로 고정시키고 풍속의 변화$(1.0{\sim}3.1m/sec)$를 주었을 때 2m/sec까지는 풍속이 빠를수록 건조속도가 높아졌으나, 그 이상의 풍속에서는 오히려 건조속도가 감소하였다. 따라서 풍속은 2m/sec에서 가장 건조속도가 높았다. 선정된 온도 $50^{\circ}C$, 풍속 2m/sec, 습도 38-41%의 조건에서 건조곡선 및 건조속도식을 유도하여 본 결과 $X=6.94e^{-0.345t}$와, $dx/dt=-2.39e^{-0.345t}$라는 Kinetic model 이 얻어졌다.
