When applying the Taguchi method in process optimization, the optimum combination is determined based on one quality characteristic (criterion) at a time. However, if the process involves more than one characteristics (multiple criteria), the applications are limited. Therefore, the Gray-Taguchi method was developed to take into account all multiple criteria aspects in food manufacturing. The method was applied to fly fish hot-air drying, determining a set of optimal parameters. The results indicate that the optimum parameter combination based on the response graph and confirmation test that best satisfy all criteria are A1 (drying temperature, (50℃, 65℃)), B3(3% salt solution), C3(12% Sorbitol solution), and D3 (dipping time,(12h)).
