In order to investigate the static pressure loss of the maize deep-bed drying related to the ratio of air flux to grain mass, the experiments based on the theory of thermal engineering and deep-bed drying were engaged in. These experiments conducted on the ventilation test stand indicate the relationship between static pressure loss, depth of the bed, ventilative dimensions and the ratio of air flux to grain mass. The investigation results that during the drying, the static pressure loss increases related to the increased ratio of air flux to grain mass with the constant bed depth. The good linear relationship between the static pressure loss and ventilative dimensions was indicated. With the control of the constant ventilative dimensions, the static pressure loss increases related to the decreased ratio of air flux to grain mass and it will dramatically increased when the ratio of air flux to grain mass is small enough. To reduce the static pressure loss, enlarging the ventilative dimensions, reducing the thickness of the drying layer and reducing the speed of the wind will be the proper methods.

Abstract. The thesis focuses on how to get the mathematical model of mass transfer under some certain simplified conditions and how to gain the moisture content of materials under drying. In this process, authors utilized phenomenological equations of heat and moisture transfer and analyzed the relationship and cross effects between force and flow, which were about various kinds of heat and mass transfer. In addition, the authors also used computer simulation in drying process. The result of the study is that drying rate depends on the speed of the internal moisture migration. The conclusions of this thesis have great significance for selecting the dryer and in the actual production.

The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) has been tested during the drying process. In order to define the relationship between suction, degree of saturation and void ratio, fitting models of SWCC was established. Studies have shown that the shape of SWCC of three kinds of samples (taken from Jiaohe, Gaochang and Jiuzhoutai) was similar to the inverted “S”, the relationship between water content and matric suction was inversely proportional. Under the condition of the same moisture, the matric suction of the Jiaohe and Gaochang samples were greater than the Jiuzhoutai samples, and the changes of pore water pressures showed the same trend. The degree of saturation began to decrease when the water content reduced to the air entry value. When the degree of saturation was greater than 90%, the volume of soil samples contracted significantly, and when saturation is below 80%, volume shrinkage stopped.

The method of drying licorice is an important factor affecting the quality of the final product. To determine the best processing method of licorice postharvest, we investigated the interaction of increasing aridity between the endophytic microorganisms and the accumulation of metabolites. Samples from the roots of licorice growing along an aridity gradient during the natural drying process were collected, and the metabolic components, the content of the main active substances and the dynamic changes of the endophytic microbial community were assessed. The glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin contents decreased slightly or remained flat during natural drying, whereas those of liquiritigenin and isoliquiritigenin increased slightly. Moreover, the Shannon index of endophytic microbial diversity of licorice was the highest in the fresh period and showed a downward trend during the drying process. When the licorice were fresh, Cladosporiaceae and Burkholderiaceae were the dominant family present, but after drying, Nectriaceae and Enterobacteriaceae were the dominant families. A similar trend was also found in which the differential metabolites of licorice were reduced during natural drying. Furthermore, correlation analysis between dominant families and differential metabolites showed that there was a correlation between the two. Therefore, fresh processing is an effective drying method to ensure the quality of licorice. This study revealed the relationship of endophytic microbiota and changes in the licorice metabolites during different stages of drying, which provided a scientific basis for the drying method of licorice.

To learn about banana microstructure changes on affecting moisture dehydration performance and its quality during oven drying process, this experiment chose scanning electron microscopy to observe the microstructure changes on outer surface, inner surface and cross section of banana peel and its flesh during drying process, in order to examine the relationship between dehydration performance and its microstructure shape and microstructure pore structures changes. The results showed that during drying process, all surfaces of banana peel and its flesh endured shape deformation from regularly to irregularly. Microstructure shrank evenly in beginning, while became conglomerate later, appeared to be significantly distortion and breakage. Microstructure pore quantity and area showed great changes, those average diameter over 10um pore numbers increased steadily, while pore area just reduced in beginning and then increased rapidly afterwards. As banana microstructure shape and pore shrinkage and deformation increased greatly, which also increased the resistance of moisture evaporating greatly. This may be an important reason that cause banana drying speed and quality decreased, it is an urgent problem that needs to be solved during fruit and vegetable drying process and storage.
