Japanese Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D.Don) wood was dried by superheated steam under the temperature of 140,160,180°C and the relative humidity of 100% to make wood flooring. Moisture absorption and desorption characteristics, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy of treated wood were analyzed to investigate the dimensional stability at saturated and dry ambient condition. The results showed that the dimensional stability of wood treated with superheated steam under high temperature was significantly improved.

Abstract A method of combining low-pressure superheated steam drying (LPSSD) and vacuum drying (VD) was proposed to improve the dried pineapple quality and increase the drying rate. It was found that the inversion temperature in low-pressure superheated steam drying of pineapple was 85.75 °C in terms of the first falling rate period. The combining drying (LPSSD–VD) reduced the maximum material temperature by 9.5 °C and 0.35 °C, and shortened the drying time by 50 min and 90 min compared with LPSSD and VD at the same drying temperature of 90 °C. The vitamin C retention rate of dried pineapple by LPSSD–VD was 29.33% and 15.94% higher than that of LPSSD and VD, respectively. The color of dried pineapple was also improved. Moreover, the sugar content of dried pineapple can be well controlled to meet the health demand of low sugar and ensure the taste of dried pineapple during LPSSD–VD process.
