Application of Weibull frequency distribution model was investigated for predicting the moisture and salt contents of sardine sheets during vacuum pulse osmotic dehydration using brine at different concentrations (0.15-0.27 g NaCl/g), temperatures (30-38 degrees C), and applying a vacuum pulse at 11.0 kPa for 10 min. The high regression coefficients (R-2 > 0.99) and low mean relative error (< 10%) indicated the acceptability of Weibull model for predicting both moisture and salt contents. The scale parameters for moisture and salt contents as a function of temperature all followed an Arrhenius relationship. Models for scale and shape parameters for moisture and salt contents as a function of brine concentration and temperature were found. (c) 2007 Swiss Society of Food Science and Technology.
