In order to improve the drying qualities of scallop muscle,a drying process of high voltage electrostatic field was studied.It was compared with hot-air drying as well as nature drying on the basis of drying time,shrinkage rate and sensory qualities.The results indicate that the high voltage electrostatic field can improve the drying rate of scallop muscle significantly.With 45 kV voltage,the rate of the high voltage electrostatic field drying is 7 times as long as the rate of nature drying in the first hou...
