Methods of calculating curves of kinetics and dynamics of dehydration for drying and cold-smoked fish

The paper provides an overview of computational methods for constructing curves of the kinetics and dynamics of fish fillets' dehydration for cold drying processes. The method allows to perform necessary calculations without conducting experimental work. The calculation is performed using a grid method. To construct the grid the authors have used equations of the generalized curve of kinetics of dehydration, changes in the diffusion fish properties during dehydration. Conditions at the interface of two phases are defined by the variation of moisture on the surface of fillets from the average moisture content of fish.
