Ultrasound-Assisted Rehydration of Dried Sea Cucumber (Stichopus japonicus) – Kinetics
-
Longtao Zhang
Abstract
Sea cucumbers are popular traditional tonic foods in Asia and the Middle East and are often dried for storage or sale. Rehydration of dried sea cucumber is a necessary step before further processing. The kinetics for ultrasound-assisted rehydration were mathematically described using mechanistic (Fick’s diffusion) and empirical (Peleg’s equation, Weibull model) models. The effective diffusivities of water transport with ultrasound were in the range of 0.182 mm2 min–1–0.197 mm2 min–1, which was greater than the value of the control, at 0.179 mm2 min–1, considering Fick’s diffusion. Peleg’s equation was concluded to be the best model to predict the ultrasound-assisted rehydration of dried sea cucumber. Its rehydration efficiency was increased 16-fold by ultrasound and rehydration time was reduced up to 45 h, the sea cucumbers did not show any negative effects on their texture properties after rehydration.
