Abstract
Due to their high water content, frozen mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) were greatly affected by ice crystal formation, which can lead to the destruction of tissue structure, serious browning, high juice loss, and difficulty in maintaining good sensory characteristics. In order to improve the quality of frozen Agaricus bisporus, this study employed Artificial neural network and genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) to optimize the amount of composite color protectant, and identified the optimal freezing conditions for freezing Agaricus bisporus by determining the freezing curves under different magnetic field-assisted freezing conditions, the color variance, texture and structure, drip loss, and distribution of moisture. Furthering, using X-ray μCT three dimensional images were taken to characterize the microstructure of the samples. Among them, the 6 mT magnetic field-assisted freezing treatment group was significantly better than the control group, and the results showed that the magnetic field-assisted freezing combined with chemical color protectant as a composite processing technology improved the quality of frozen Agaricus bisporus. This provides a theoretical basis and technical support for enhanced processing of frozen Agaricus bisporus.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of static magnetic field-assisted thawing (SMAT) at varying intensities (0, 1, 2, and 3 mT) on the quality, water status, and myofibrillar protein (MP) characteristics of frozen beef steaks. The thawing times of SMAT-1, 2, and 3 treatments could be shortened by approximately 10.9 %, 20.0 %, and 8.5 %, respectively, compared to the control. The results indicated that SMAT treatment significantly decreased thawing loss, maintained color stability, and reduced the degree of lipid oxidation in beef steaks compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance results confirmed that SMAT treatment enhanced the water-holding capacity of muscle. Furthermore, SMAT-2 treatment protected the muscle microstructure, decreased carbonyl content, and increased total sulfhydryl content (P < 0.05) compared to the control group. In conclusion, SMAT treatment effectively improved the beef quality and the characteristics of MP after thawing, especially in 2 mT.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine would benefit from a safe and efficient cryopreservation method to prevent the structural disruption caused by ice-crystal formation in cells and tissue. Various attempts have been made to overcome this problem, one of which is the use of an oscillating magnetic field (OMF). However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In this study, to evaluate the effect of an OMF on ice-crystal formation in the leg muscles of mice, we used to use the frozen-section method with a slower freezing rate than is, usual which resulted in ice crystals forming in the tissue. We assessed the mean size and number per unit area of intracellular ice holes in sections of muscle tissue, with and without OMF. Ice-crystal growth was reduced in frozen tissue subjected to OMF. Furthermore, we evaluated the structure and function of proteins in frozen tissue subjected to OMF by immunostaining using an anti-dystrophin antibody and by enzymatic histochemistry for NADH-TR and myosin ATPase. The results imply that the ability of OMF to suppress ice-crystal growth might be related to their stabilization of bound water in biomolecules during freezing.

Effects of static magnetic field (SMF) and alternating magnetic field (AMF) assisted freezing on the microstructure and protein properties of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) fillet. Food Chem 2024; 434:137509.

Abstract
The effect of static and alternating magnetic fields assisted freezing with intensity of 1, 2, and 3 mT on the microstructure and protein properties of channel catfish fillet were investigated. The results showed that the magnetic field treatment shortened the phase transition time of freezing, and significantly reduced the size of the formed ice crystals. The changes of trichloroacetic acid-soluble peptide, Ca2+-ATPase activity, particle size, and Zeta potential, which represented solubility, denaturation and aggregation of protein, indicated that magnetic field treatment could improve the protein stability. The chemical force analysis, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results proved that the magnetic field could change the structure of protein. Furthermore, these changes had effects on the thermal stability of catfish meat protein which reflected by increasing of the transition temperature and enthalpy. However, the waveform and intensity of magnetic field affected the stability of protein structure.

Abstract
Seafood processing has traditionally been challenging due to the rapid spoilage rates and quality degradation of these products. With the rise of food science and technology, novel methods are being developed to overcome these challenges and improve seafood quality, shelf life, and safety. These methods range from high-pressure processing (HPP) to edible coatings, and their exploration and application in seafood processing are of great importance. This review synthesizes the recent advancements in various emerging technologies used in the seafood industry and critically evaluates their efficacy, challenges, and potential benefits. The technologies covered include HPP, ultrasound, pulsed electric field, plasma technologies, pulsed light, low-voltage electrostatic field, ozone, vacuum cooking, purified condensed smoke, microwave heating, and edible coating. Each technology offers unique advantages and presents specific challenges; however, their successful application largely depends on the nature of the seafood product and the desired result. HPP and microwave heating show exceptional promise in terms of quality retention and shelf-life extension. Edible coatings present a multifunctional approach, offering preservation and the potential enhancement of nutritional value. The strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat (SWOT) analysis indicates that, despite the potential of these technologies, cost-effectiveness, scalability, regulatory considerations, and consumer acceptance remain crucial issues. As the seafood industry stands on the cusp of a technological revolution, understanding these nuances becomes imperative for sustainable growth. Future research should focus on technological refinements, understanding consumer perspectives, and developing regulatory frameworks to facilitate the adoption of these technologies in the seafood industry.

Abstract
Fruits and vegetables are rich in essential nutrients such as minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants; however, they have short shelf life. Freezing is a superior method of preservation compared to other techniques with respect to nutrient retention and maintenance of sensory attributes. However, several physical and textural quality changes associated with freezing and thawing pose a serious problem to the quality of frozen products. Some of the disadvantages associated with the currently employed methods for freezing fruits and vegetables include low rates of heat exchange in blast freezers, shape limitation in plate freezers, high cost of operation in cryogenic freezing, and freezing solution dilution in immersion freezing. Therefore, novel freezing technologies have been developed to achieve controlled ice nucleation and crystallization, enhanced freezing rate, decreased phase transition time, and maintained temperature stability. This review discusses some of the most recent approaches employed in freezing and points to their adoption for maintaining the quality of fruits and vegetables with extended storage.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of static magnetic field (SMF, 0-10 mT) on the quality of rice dumplings subjected to 7, 14, 21, and 28 freeze-thaw cycles. The underlying mechanism was explored by monitoring changes in water phase transition, water distribution, and structural and physicochemical properties of rice flour. Results suggested that SMF enables the formation of small ice crystals by accelerating freezing rate, shortening phase transition time, and increasing bound water content, which attributes to reducing the mechanical damage on starch granules and thus improves the quality of frozen rice dumpling. After 7-28 freeze-thaw cycles, SMF treatment increased the whiteness by 0.08-1.58, reduced the cracking ratio by 1.67 %-8.34 %, decreased the water loss ratio by 0-0.75 %, and significantly improved the texture of cooked rice dumplings. This study confirmed the feasibility of SMF in improving the quality of rice dumpling, which contributes to expanding the applications of magnetic freezer in the preservation of starch-based foods.

Abstract
Freezing is an effective means to extend the shelf-life of meat products. However, freezing and thawing processes lead to physical (e.g., ice crystals formation and freezer burn) and biochemical changes (e.g., protein denaturation and lipid oxidation) in meat resulting in loss of quality. Over the last two decades, several attempts have been made to produce thawed meat with qualities similar to that of fresh meat to no avail. This is due to the fact that no single technique exists to date that can mitigate all the quality challenges caused by freezing and thawing. This is further confounded by the consumer perception of frozen meat as lower quality compared to equivalent fresh-never-frozen meat cuts. Therefore, it remains challenging for the meat industry to produce high quality frozen meat and increase consumer acceptability of frozen products. This review aimed to provide an overview of the applications of novel freezing and thawing technologies that could improve the quality of thawed meat including deep freezing, high pressure, radiofrequency, electro-magnetic resonance, electrostatic field, immersion solution, microwave, ohmic heating, and ultrasound. This review will also discuss the development in processing strategies such as optimising the ageing of meat pre- or post-freezing, and the integration of freezing and thawing in one process/regime to collapse the difference in quality between thawed meat and fresh-never-frozen equivalents.

The Effect of Nonthermal Pretreatment on the Drying Kinetics and Quality of Black Garlic. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28030962.

Abstract
Black garlic is obtained from regular garlic (Allium sativum L.) through the aging process and consequently gains many health-promoting properties, including antidiabetic and antioxidant. However, the material is still prone to microbiological deterioration and requires a long time to dry due to its properties. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of various drying methods on the quality of black garlic as well as determine the influence of selected nonthermal pretreatments on the drying kinetics and quality of black garlic, which is especially important in the case of the materials that are difficult to dry. The Weibull model was chosen to describe drying kinetics. Additionally, color, water activity together with antioxidant activity, phenolic compounds, and antidiabetic potential were determined. This study found that the application of a pulsed electric field (PEF), a constant electric field (CEF) as well as a magnetic field (MF) significantly reduced the time of drying (by 32, 40, and 24 min for a PEF, a CEF, and a MF, respectively, compared to combined drying without the pretreatment), and resulted in high antidiabetic potential. However, the highest content of phenolic compounds (1123.54 and 1125.36 mg/100 g dm for VMD125 and CD3h-VMD, respectively) and antioxidant capacity (ABTS = 6.05 and 5.06 mmol Trolox/100 g dm for VMD500 and CD6h-VMD, respectively) were reported for black garlic treated by vacuum-microwave drying and combined convective pre-drying followed by vacuum-microwave drying. Overall, the nonthermal pretreatment decreased the time of drying and showed very good efficiency in maintaining the antidiabetic potential of black garlic, especially in the case of the materials pretreated by a constant electric field (IC50 = 99 and 56 mg/mL, for α-amylase and α-glucosidase, respectively).

Abstract
To explore the potential application of static magnetic field (SMF) treatment in marine fish preservation, the sea bass (Lateolabrax japonicus) was exposed to SMF (5 mT) and its quality changes during cold storage were evaluated by total viable counts, water holding capacity, pH, color, and textural properties. Characteristics of the protein in the presence of SMF were investigated by measuring total sulfhydryl (SH) content, Ca2+-ATPase activity, secondary structure, and muscle microstructure. SMF treatment exhibited positive effects on fish quality, showing favorable performance on the most quality indicators, especially a significant reduction in the Microbial Counts. Furthermore, higher total SH content and Ca2+-ATPase activity were observed in SMF-treated samples, demonstrating that the oxidation and denaturation of myofibrillar protein (MP) were delayed due to SMF treatment. The transformation of α-helix to random coil was prevented in SMF-treated samples, indicating that the secondary structure of MP was stabilized by SMF treatment. The above changes in protein structures were accompanied by changes in muscle microstructure. More intact and compact structures were observed in SMF-treated samples, characterized by well-defined boundaries between myofibers. Therefore, our findings suggest that under the conditions of this article, SMF treatment could maintain the quality of fish mainly by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and enhancing the stability of protein structures, and could be a promising auxiliary technology for preservation of aquatic products.

Abstract
Freezing can prolong the shelf life of muscle foods and is widely used in their preservation. However, inevitable quality deterioration can occur during freezing, frozen storage, and thawing. This review explores the eating quality deterioration characteristics (color, water holding capacity, tenderness, and flavor) and mechanisms (irregular ice crystals, oxidation, and hydrolysis of lipids and proteins) of frozen muscle foods. It also summarizes and classifies the novel physical-field-assisted-freezing technologies (high-pressure, ultrasound, and electromagnetic) and bioactive antifreeze (ice nucleation proteins, antifreeze proteins, natural deep eutectic solvents, carbohydrate, polyphenol, phosphate, and protein hydrolysates), regulating the dynamic process from water to ice. Moreover, some novel thermal and nonthermal thawing technologies to resolve the loss of water and nutrients caused by traditional thawing methods were also reviewed. We concluded that the physical damage caused by ice crystals was the primary reason for the deterioration in eating quality, and these novel techniques promoted the eating quality of frozen muscle foods under proper conditions, including appropriate parameters (power, time, and intermittent mode mentioned in ultrasound-assisted techniques; pressure involved in high-pressure-assisted techniques; and field strength involved in electromagnetic-assisted techniques) and the amounts of bioactive antifreeze. To obtain better quality frozen muscle foods, more efficient technologies and substances must be developed. The synergy of novel freezing/thawing technology may be more effective than individual applications. This knowledge may help improve the eating quality of frozen muscle foods.

Abstract
Prepared dishes are increasingly popular convenience food that can be eaten directly from hygienic packaging by heating. Physics field (PF) is food processing method built with physical processing technology, which has the characteristics of high efficiency and environmental safety. This review focuses on summarizing the application of PFs in prepared dishes, evaluating and comparing PFs through quality changes during processing and storage of prepared dishes. Currently, improving the quality and extending the shelf life of prepared dishes through thermal and non-thermal processing are the main modes of action of PFs. Most PFs show good potential in handing prepared dishes, but may also react poorly to some prepared dishes. In addition, the difficulty of precise control of processing conditions has led to research mostly at the laboratory stage, but as physical technology continues to break through, more PFs and multi-physical field will be promoted for commercial use in the future. This review contributes to a deeper understanding of the effect of PFs on prepared dishes, and provides theoretical reference and practical basis for future processing research in the development of various enhanced PFs.

Abstract
Although freezing is the most common and widespread way to preserve food for a long time, the accumulation of microstructural damage caused by ice crystal formation during freezing and recrystallization phenomena during thawing tends to degrade the quality of the product. Thus, the side effects of the above processes should be avoided as much as possible. To evaluate the effect of different magnetic field strength assisted thawing (MAT) on beef quality, the indicators associated with quality of MAT-treated (10-50 Gs) samples and samples thawed without an external magnetic field were compared. Results indicated that the thawing time was reduced by 21.5-40% after applying MAT. Meat quality results demonstrated that at appropriate magnetic field strengths thawing loss, TBARS values, cooking loss, and shear force were significantly decreased. Moreover, by protecting the microstructure of the muscle, MAT significantly increased the a∗ value and protein content. MAT treatment significantly improved the thawing efficiency and quality of frozen beef, indicating its promising application in frozen meat thawing.

Abstract
Abstract This study evaluated the effect on physical and sensory properties of freezing Halved Avocados (HA) by Traditional Method (TM) in a continuous freezer and by electromagnetic field-assisted method (EM) with CAS (Cells Alive System) freezer, obtaining HATM and HAEM, respectively. Each HA from the same specimen (obtaining 2 HA: one for fresh and the other for frozen-thawed state) was coded and evaluated. The firmness of the upper part of the fresh HA was higher (p < 0.05) than the lower part. The freezing curve showed the crystallization phase in the HAEM (from 14.25 to 20.33 min), thus indicating the formation of ice crystals, as well as affecting the significant decrease (p < 0.05) in more than 60% of firmness in the thawed HA concerning the fresh state. Regarding the color, there were differences (p < 0.05) in saturation (C*) between fresh and thawed avocado (HATM and HAEM); however, there were no differences (p > 0.05) in the tonality (h*). Weight loss of thawed HA was less than 0.5%. The sensory evaluation indicated there were no significant differences (p < 0.05) in firmness between the HATM and HAEM using the triangular test.

Abstract
Freezing is a well-established preservation method used to maintain the freshness of perishable food products during storage, transportation and retail distribution; however, food freezing is a complex process involving simultaneous heat and mass transfer and a progression of physical and chemical changes. This could affect the quality of the frozen product and increase the percentage of drip loss (loss in flavor and sensory properties) during thawing. Numerical modeling can be used to monitor and control quality changes during the freezing and thawing processes. This technique provides accurate predictions and visual information that could greatly improve quality control and be used to develop advanced cold storage and transport technologies. Finite element modeling (FEM) has become a widely applied numerical tool in industrial food applications, particularly in freezing and thawing processes. We review the recent studies on applying FEM in the food industry, emphasizing the freezing and thawing processes. Challenges and problems in these two main parts of the food industry are also discussed. To control ice crystallization and avoid cellular structure damage during freezing, including physicochemical and microbiological changes occurring during thawing, both traditional and novel technologies applied to freezing and thawing need to be optimized. Mere experimental designs cannot elucidate the optimum freezing, frozen storage, and thawing conditions. Moreover, these experimental procedures can be expensive and time-consuming. This review demonstrates that the FEM technique helps solve mass and heat transfer equations for any geometry and boundary conditions. This study offers promising insight into the use of FEM for the accurate prediction of key information pertaining to food processes.
