PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique capable of drying fruits, vegetables, mushroom, fishes, flowering grasses and the like from their cores at low temperatures by using a far-infrared ray as a heat source of a drier machine, capable of extracting a biological water in a drying process in such a state as to keep the component or color of an object, and also capable of producing the dried articles with desired dryness without breaking or losing all matters except the profile of the object by enabling optional setting of dryness degree.SOLUTION: The technique is characterized in that in the drying process for fruits, vegetables, mushroom, fishes, flowering grasses and the like using the above drier machine, the biological water of the object to be dried can be extracted without changing components and color, and that the dried articles can be preserved in various shapes quite different from each other without breaking or losing all matters except the profile of the object such as dried articles processable to powders or those dried overnight.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】 乾燥機の熱源を遠赤外線にする事で、果物・野菜・キノコ類・魚類・草花等の芯から低温で乾燥させる事が可能となり、その為、その対象物の持つ成分とか色合いを保ったままで、その過程において、生体水も抽出でき、乾燥度合いも任意に設定出来る事から、対象物の持つ形以外の全ての物を、壊さず、失わず求める乾燥度合いの乾燥品を生産する事のできる技術を提供します。【解決手段】 本装置を用いて、果物・野菜・キノコ類・魚類・草花等の乾燥において、成分・色を変える事無く、その対象物の、生体水も抽出でき、対象物の持つ形以外の全ての物を残したまま、粉末に出来得る乾燥品から一夜干し程度の乾燥品と、全く違った形で保存できる技術を特徴とします。【選択図】図2
