Table 3. Energy consumption of different rehydration treatments of sea cucumbers
| Parameter | KV27°C | KV15°C | UAR27 + KV15°C | UAR15 + KV15°C |
| Rehydration time (h)* | 12.00 | 32.00 | 28.00 | 48.00 |
| Yield (g) | 130.00 | 132.30 | 153.90 | 136.00 |
| Energy (Wh) | NA | 2,720.00 | 2,240.00 | 3,800.00 |
| Consumption (Wh/g) | NA | 20.56 | 14.55 | 27.41 |
The standard hydration time for each method was determined once the same moisture content was reached on every sample.
KV, conventional rehydration; UAR, ultrasound-assisted rehydration, NA, not applicable.
