Description
Summary:Fresh aquatic products, due to their high water activity, are susceptible to microbial contamination and spoilage, resulting in a short shelf life. Drying is a commonly used method to extend the shelf life of these products by reducing the moisture content, inhibiting microbial growth, and slowing down enzymatic and chemical reactions. However, the drying process of aquatic products involves chemical reactions such as oxidation and hydrolysis, which pose challenges in obtaining high-quality dried products. This paper provides a comprehensive review of drying processing techniques for aquatic products, including drying preprocessing, drying technologies, and non-destructive monitoring techniques, and discusses their advantages and challenges. Furthermore, the impact of the drying process on the quality attributes of dried products, including sensory quality, nutritional components, and microbial aspects, is analyzed. Finally, the challenges faced by drying processing techniques for aquatic products are identified, and future research prospects are outlined, aiming to further advance research and innovation in this field.
