The temperatures of the fish slices during microwave and MV
drying are shown in Figs. 2B and 3B, respectively. The power intensity
had considerable effect on the temperature of the fish slices
during microwave drying (Fig. 2B). At L power output, the temperature
reached 77 C in 5 min and then remained about 75 C for
15 min, followed by decreasing to about 50 C in the last 20 min. At
ML power output, the temperature reached 75 C in 3 min and then
remained about 75 C until 10 min, followed by decreasing to about
60 C in the last 5 min. At the power outputs of M, HM, and H, the
temperature reached 78 C in 1.5 min, and then decreased to about
60 C in the followed stage
