Electric And Solar Drying Of Fish And Shrimp

摘要

Investigations have been made into the moisture content reduction of fish and shrimp. Electric and solar drying runs were compared and the theoretical drying curves based on Fick's diffusion law are given. It was found that the drying constant, k, was dependent on the type of product and that the dried product was fit for human consumption when dried to 20% moisture content dry basis (%mcdb).
