Abstract: Tilapia Fillet on different drying air conditions were investigated by heat pump drying (HPD). Results showed that drying temperature, wind speed and thickness are important factors. Under the conditions of 35 ℃,wind speed 1.6 m/s and thickness 0.4~0.5 cm, the drying rate is faster and the reconstitution rate is the highest after 50 minutes.

Key words: Tilapia fillet, heat pump drying, drying conditions, reconstitution rate
