Abstract
This study investigated the effect of ultrasound combined with static magnetic field freezing on the freezing process and quality changes of blueberries. The aim is to provide a reference for the study of magnetic fields in food. The freezing parameters, quality, and microstructural structure were examined. The results showed that the effect of ultrasound-assisted static magnetic field freezing (U-MF) was better, which significantly shorted the freezing time of the sample. In comparison to −20 °C control frozen (CF), the degree of supercooling increased by 50.08%, freezing time shorted by 16.36%, drip loss decreased by 28.28%, respectively, and the water distribution state was closer to that of fresh fruits. Microstructural analysis indicated that the sample structure of U-MF treated blueberries was better approximated by the fresh sample. Moreover, overall sensory scores for blueberries showed that U-MF treated blueberries presented positive sensory evaluation. In conclusion, ultrasound and static magnetic field play a synergistic effect in assisting freezing, and the combined effect is better than that of ultrasound or static magnetic field alone.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
