Abstract
ABSTRACT At present, the fisheries sector’s contribution to the world as a source of nutrients and wealth is highly significant. Fisherfolks harvest marine products like fish, prawns, and squid in a surplus amount; however, due to the non-availability of cold chain facilities, a lot of items are spoiled. Hence, drying is practiced in most parts of the world to preserve marine products. Studies have reported use of various designs of the solar hybrid dryer for drying of marine products. However, there is no comprehensive report on different designs of solar dryers and their application, especially in the drying of marine products. Hence, this review focused on solar drying, various designs of solar-based dryers, and the application of solar hybrid drying systems for marine products including the quality analysis of the final product.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology publishes research papers, short communications, and review articles concerning the application of science and technology and biotechnology to all aspects of research, innovation, production, and distribution of food products originating from the marine and freshwater bodies of the world. The journal features articles on various aspects of basic and applied science in topics related to:
-harvesting and handling practices-
processing with traditional and new technologies-
refrigeration and freezing-
packaging and storage-
safety and traceability-
byproduct utilization-
consumer attitudes toward aquatic food.
The Journal also covers basic studies of aquatic products as related to food chemistry, microbiology, and engineering, such as all flora and fauna from aquatic environs, including seaweeds and underutilized species used directly for human consumption or alternative uses. Special features in the journal include guest editorials by specialists in their fields and book reviews covering a wide range of topics.
