Dielectric properties of tylose were measured over 300–3000 MHz and −30 to +60 °C.
The effects of added salt (NaCl) on dielectric behavior were analyzed.
Addition of salt increases the non-uniformity through reduction in penetration depth.
Addition of salt develops a salty shield quickly and increases the thawing time.
Lean tuna was satisfactorily simulated using tylose paste with 0.5% added NaCl.
