Experiments were conducted at 40, 50 and 60 °C. Effective moisture diffusivity increased with temperature from 1.08 × 10−10 to 1.90 × 10−10 m2 s−1. The colour difference, determined as ΔE values (from 9.3 to 19.3), as well as firmness (from 25 to 75 N mm−1) of dried samples increased with dehydration temperature. The lightness value L∗ and yellowness value b∗ indicated formation of browning products at higher drying temperatures, while redness value a∗ showed dependence on astaxanthin value. Compared with fresh fish samples, palmitic acid and tocopherol content decreased in a 20% and 40%, respectively, with temperature. While eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) content remained unchanged and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content changed slightly. Anisidine and thiobarbituric acid values indicated the formation of secondary lipid oxidation products, which is more relevant for longer drying time than for higher drying temperatures.
