A novel drying method based on vacuum-microwave dehydration was developed to investigate the effects of different microwave gap ratios (MGR), microwave times, power densities and degrees of vacuum after osmotic pre-treatment on tilapia fillets. The results showed that the moisture value of fillets was decreased with the increased drying time, power density and vacuum degree. The shrinkage ratio, rehydration ratio and total colour change increased with elevated microwave time and power density. A high degree of vacuum was beneficial to the qualities of fillets. In conclusion, tilapia fillets retained their original quality properties after osmotically dehydrated vacuum-microwave drying (OD-VMD); optimum process parameters were MGR = 2, microwave time = 10 min, power density = 20 W/g, and vacuum degree = 0.08 MPa.

To study the effect of microwave output power on the drying kinetics of tilapia fillets, the drying experiments were carried out at 150W, 250W, 500W, 700W and 900W, respectively. And ten mathematical models were involved to fit experimental data. It was found that Midilli et al model gave a best fitness for this conditions applied. Besides, effective moisture diffusivity increased progressively from 1.6248×10-9(m2/s) to 10.0735×10-9(m2/s) as the power increased from 150W to 900W. In addition, to obtain more homogeneous samples, temperature distribution of tilapia fillets was analyzed when they were put in different layout forms.

To investigate behavior of osmotic dehydration and mass transfer of tilapia fillet in sucrose solution, the changes of moisture content (MC), solid gain (SG) were quantitatively determined during osmotic treatments of fresh tilapia fillets with the sucrose solution concentration (20-40%), temperature (20-30°C), fillet thickness (1-5mm) and osmotic time (1-8h) as the independent treatment factors. Results were as follows: First, MC of fish fillet decreased, and SG of fish fillet increased with increasing of the concentration of sucrose solution. Second, the osmotic dehydration of fish fillet was fast during the first hour and slowed during the 2nd or 4th hour. Third, the dehydration and SG of fish fillet increased with increasing of treatment temperature, but influence of temperature on osmotic dehydration and SG was decreasing with increasing of the concentration of sucrose solution. Finally, a thinner fillet was found to own higher of dehydration and SG than a thicker one.

In order to search effect of osmotic medium on quality of tilapia fillets treated by different kinds of osmotic solution, the changes in pH value, lightness (L*) degree and electrical conductivity (EC) were quantitatively determined during osmotic treatments for fresh tilapia fillets with the osmotic medium (sodium chloride, sucrose),medium concentration (10-30%) and osmotic time (1-5hour) as the independent treatment factors. Results were as follows: (1) L* and pH of the fish fillets were decreased gradually, color darkened slightly, and EC was increased with increase in osmotic time when fresh tilapia fillets were soaked in sodium chloride (NaCl) solution and sucrose solution, respectively. (2)Effects of two kinds of osmotic media on quality of fish fillets were different during osmotic treatment period. First, the changes in pH, L* and EC of fish fillets were bigger in the NaCl solution, and smaller changes in the sucrose solution. Second, pH of fish fillets in the NaCl solution was always lower than that of sucrose solution, but EC of fish fillets in the NaCl solution was significantly higher than that of sucrose solution.(3)Highly significant correlation of EC and osmotic time were observed, and the regression equations were established according to the results of influence on EC of fish fillets in the process of osmotic dehydration.

In Brazil, bananas are extremely important because they are the second most cultivated fruit after citrus. Therefore, this work aimed to perform the osmotic dehydration of the dwarf banana (Musa acuminata'Dwarf Cavendish')associated with microwave drying. The characterization of the raw material, dehydration and domestic microwave drying, drying kinetics, rehydration capacity and characterization of the final product were performed. As a result it was noted that microwave drying was satisfactory for drying. A moisture content of 29.38% was obtained, a pH of 4.77 and a rehydration capacity of 174% in banana without pretreatment and 32.33%, 4.83% and 120% respectively for osmotically dehydrated. The use of this combination proved to be a viable alternative in extending the life of the Dwarf Cavendish.
