Abstract
To better investigate the effect of magnetic field assisted immersion freezing on WHC (water holding quality) of pork and compare it with the effect of air freezing and immersion freezing, different magnetic field intensity-assisted immersion freezing methods were used in this experiment. The static magnetic field intensity ranged from 0 ~ 10 mT, and the magnetic field intensity gradient was increased in each group. The results demonstrated the freezing rate, water distribution, WHC, and myofibrillar arprotein content. The fresh-keeping effect of 6 mT on meat quality was the most significant among the several treatment groups, and the thawing loss was 44.96% lower than that of the 0 mT. At the same time, the 6 mT group also helped to control pH, cooking loss, centrifugal loss, freezing rate, protein oxidation, and water distribution. The experimental results showed that the novel freezing method could improve the quality of pork, but the specific effect of magnetic field intensity did not become more significant with the increase of magnetic field intensity.
期刊介绍:
Food and Bioprocess Technology provides an effective and timely platform for cutting-edge high quality original papers in the engineering and science of all types of food processing technologies, from the original food supply source to the consumer’s dinner table. It aims to be a leading international journal for the multidisciplinary agri-food research community.
The journal focuses especially on experimental or theoretical research findings that have the potential for helping the agri-food industry to improve process efficiency, enhance product quality and, extend shelf-life of fresh and processed agri-food products. The editors present critical reviews on new perspectives to established processes, innovative and emerging technologies, and trends and future research in food and bioproducts processing. The journal also publishes short communications for rapidly disseminating preliminary results, letters to the Editor on recent developments and controversy, and book reviews.
