Shirali et al. have applied the air fluidized salt particle bed to the drying of fishes and others, and reported that the drying time could be shortened from one tenth to one hundredth as compared with that in case of natural drying.
In this work, cuttle fishes and potatos were used as the sample species and drying rates of in the fluidized bed, hot gas, and vacuum dryer measured under various conditions.
And the method of fluidized bed is economical one, but it should be noticed that the products contain salt more than several per cent.
