Food Chem 2024; 436:137709.

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
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves of specific frequencies (300 MHz-3000 GHz), whereas ultrasonic is mechanical waves of specific frequencies. Microwave and ultrasonic technology as a new processing method has been widely used in food processing fields. Combined ultrasonic and microwave technology is exploited by researchers as an improvement technique and has been successfully applied in food processing such as thawing, drying, frying, extraction, and sterilization. This paper overviews the principle and characteristics of ultrasonic- and microwave-assisted food processing techniques, particularly their combinations, design of equipment, and their applications in the processing of agricultural products such as thawing, drying, frying, extraction, and sterilization. The combination of ultrasonic and microwave is applied in food processing, where microwave enhances the heating rate, and ultrasonic improves the efficiency of heat and mass transfer. The synergy of the heating effect of microwave and the cavitation effect of ultrasonic improves processing efficiency and damages the cell structure of the material. The degradation of nutrient composition and energy consumption due to the short processing time of combined ultrasonic and microwave technology is decreased. Ultrasonic technology, as an auxiliary means of efficient microwave heating, is pollution-free, highly efficient, and has a wide range of applications in food processing.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:3444-3477. [PMID: 37306543 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Myofibrillar protein (MP) endows muscle foods with texture and important functional properties, such as water-holding capacity (WHC) and emulsifying and gel-forming abilities. However, thawing deteriorates the physicochemical and structural properties of MPs, significantly affecting the WHC, texture, flavor, and nutritional value of muscle foods. Thawing-induced physicochemical and structural changes in MPs need further investigation and consideration in the scientific development of muscle foods. In this study, we reviewed the literature for the thawing effects on the physicochemical and structural characters of MPs to identify potential associations between MPs and the quality of muscle-based foods. Physicochemical and structural changes of MPs in muscle foods occur because of physical changes during thawing and microenvironmental changes, including heat transfer and phase transformation, moisture activation and migration, microbial activation, and alterations in pH and ionic strength. These changes are not only essential inducements for changes in spatial conformation, surface hydrophobicity, solubility, Ca2+ -ATPase activity, intermolecular interaction, gel properties, and emulsifying properties of MPs but also factors causing MP oxidation, characterized by thiols, carbonyl compounds, free amino groups, dityrosine content, cross-linking, and MP aggregates. Additionally, the WHC, texture, flavor, and nutritional value of muscle foods are closely related to MPs. This review encourages additional work to explore the potential of tempering techniques, as well as the synergistic effects of traditional and innovative thawing technologies, in reducing the oxidation and denaturation of MPs and maintaining the quality of muscle foods.

Abstract
The effect of infrared and microwave alternate thawing (IR + MWT) on frozen pork were compared to fresh, air thawing (AT), infrared thawing (IRT), microwave thawing (MWT). The IR + MWT took only about 11.81 min of the thawing time compared to AT 66.5 min, and the Raman spectroscopy and Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) results showed that the IR + MWT maintained better protein secondary structure composition and moisture state compared to MWT and IRT. In terms of thawing losses, IR + MWT had the lowest loss 1.92%. In terms of texture, IR + MWT had the least effect on the post-thawing textural properties and increased the springiness of the meat. Scanning electron microscopy results also showed that there was reduced damage to the muscle structure with IR + MWT. Regarding the odor of the meat after thawing, IR + MWT retained the odor better and was closer to the fresh sample. Therefore, IR + MWT can be used to enhance the thawing rate to protect the quality of the thawed pork.

Abstract
For years, various thawing technologies based on pressure, ultrasound, electromagnetic energy, and electric field energy have been actively investigated to minimize the amount of drip and reduce the quality deterioration of muscle foods during thawing. However, existing thawing technologies have limitations in practical applications due to their high costs and technical defects. Therefore, key factors of thawing technologies must be comprehensively analyzed, and their effects must be systematically evaluated by the quality indexes of muscle foods. In this review, the principles and key factors of thawing techniques are discussed, with an emphasis on combinations of thawing technologies. Furthermore, the application effects of thawing technologies in muscle foods are systematically evaluated from the viewpoints of eating quality and microbial and chemical stability. Finally, the disadvantages of the existing thawing technologies and the development prospects of tempering technologies are highlighted. This review can be highly instrumental in achieving more ideal thawing goals.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency of selection for body growth and its association with carcass and meat quality traits in the red-winged tinamou. Two experimental groups were selected based on the selection index: selection group with a higher index (TinamouS) and commercial group with a lower index (TinamouC). Weight at 180 days and slaughter weight were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the TinamouS group, as were hot carcass weight, skinless breast weight, wing weight, and thigh and drumstick weight. The meat quality traits or sensory attributes did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) between groups. A significant positive correlation (0.59; p < 0.05) was found between shear force and chewability and a significant negative correlation (- 0.59; p < 0.05) between aroma intensity and strange aroma. The present study suggests that the selection index promotes greater body growth and preserves meat quality and sensory traits in red-winged tinamou.

Abstract
The inevitably generated chicken exudate was usually unconsciously discarded, leading to protein waste and environmental pollution. The study is performed to reveal the loss and constitute of different sourced exudate (purge exudate/defrozen exudate, PE/DE), investigate the efficiency of various pH-shifting strategies (Method I: NaOH-HCl, Method II: Ca(OH)2-Critric acid, and Method III: Ca(OH)2-Glucono δ-lactone) in recovering selected exudate, and evaluate the functionality of these recovered protein isolates. Accordingly, PE and DE shared greatly similar (P > 0.05) lipid and ash content. Despite sarcoplasmic protein, there are a small amount of functional myofibrillar protein in the exudate samples. During extraction, Method III had higher recovery yield (85.5%) than other two groups, but the isolates contained higher level of moisture. The protein isolates treated with Method II exhibited highest emulsion ability, while the Method III treated group obtained best gelation properties. Overall, pH-shifting could recover functional protein from chicken exudate for industrial application.

Effects of Different Freezing Methods on Water Distribution, Microstructure and Protein Properties of Cuttlefish during the Frozen Storage. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2021.

Abstract
To study the effect of different freezing methods on the quality changes of cuttlefish during the frozen storage of cuttlefish, fresh cuttlefish was treated with six freezing methods (refrigerator direct-freezing, saline solution impregnation freezing, flat freezing, tunnel type continuous freezing, air-blast freezing and liquid nitrogen freezing) and then stored at −18 °C for 90 days. The time to pass the maximum ice crystal generation zone for the above six freezing methods in this experiment was 165.5, 67.5, 34.5, 21.8, 20.4 and 1.5 min, respectively. In this study, water retention (thawing loss rate, centrifugal loss rate, and cooking loss), pH, malondialdehyde content, TVB-N value, and sulfhydryl content were measured to evaluate the quality after thawing. Protein secondary structure was measured by attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), water migration was determined by low-field NMR, and muscle microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that among the six freezing methods, liquid nitrogen freezing took the shortest time to pass through the maximum ice crystal generation zone. And it had the highest water retention, the lowest TVB-N content, the highest sulfhydryl content and the least irregular curling of protein secondary structure after 90 days of frozen storage. However, liquid nitrogen freezing can cause cracks and breakage in cuttlefish due to cryogenic fracture caused by ultra-low temperature, which affects its sensory evaluation. Although the freezing speed of flat freezing is faster than refrigerator direct-freezing and saline solution impregnation freezing, the muscle is extruded and deformed during the freezing process, and the damage is more serious, and the frozen storage quality is the worst. The comprehensive analysis results showed that the freezing speed of air- blast freezing was faster and the quality of cuttlefish in the freezing process was better, which was the more recommended freezing method, and this study provided some theoretical basis for the selection of freezing method in the actual production of cuttlefish.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The thawing process is regarded as an essential step before the consumption of frozen foods. This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of ultrasound thawing of frozen red radish and to explore the characteristics of ultrasound thawing. The influence of low-frequency ultrasound (LFU) on the thawing efficiency of frozen red radish cylinders in air and water mediums was investigated. The effects of different ways of thawing, including air thawing (AT), water thawing (WT), refrigeration thawing (RT), ultrasound-assisted water thawing (UWT), and microwave thawing (MT) on the thawing time and quality of radish samples was studied. RESULTS The results showed that thawing time decreased remarkably in air and water mediums assisted by LFU. As the LFU power level increased, the thawing time decreased and the value of the drip loss increased. The firmness of thawed radish samples also decreased significantly compared with the fresh samples. Microwave thawing had the highest thawing rate, but the microstructure of MT radish samples was damaged severely, resulting in the highest drip loss, and the lowest firmness, and vitamin C content. In comparison with the AT, WT, and RT, a significant reduction in thawing time could be achieved for UWT (P < 0.05). Ultrasound-assisted water thawing exhibited the highest retention of color and vitamin C, and a lower destructive effect on the microstructure. CONCLUSION The results showed that LFU could be used as an efficient method to facilitate the thawing process of frozen red radishes, and better preserve the color, vitamin C, and microstructure of the final product. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Abstract
This study compared the effects of conventional thawing methods (water immersion thawing (WIT, (25±1) °C), natural air thawing (AT, (25±1) °C, relative humidity (RH) (65±2) per cent), refrigerator thawing (RT, 4 °C, RH (80±2) per cent) and low-temperature (LT) combined with high-humidity thawing (LT, –1 °C to 1 °C (LT–1–1), 2–4 °C (LT2–4), 5–7 °C (LT5–7) and 8–10 °C (LT8–10), RH≥95 per cent) on the water-holding capacity, lipid oxidation and biochemical properties of Portunus trituberculatus (P. trituberculatus) myofibrillar protein. The results showed that WIT and AT significantly decreased the water-holding capacity while dramatically increasing lipid oxidation, protein oxidation and degeneration, resulting in serious P. trituberculatus quality deterioration. High humidity was beneficial for P. trituberculatus thawing. The thawing time of P. trituberculatus under the conditions of LT2–4 was only 39.39 per cent of that of conventional air thawing at 4 °C (RT), and the LT2–4 samples not only maintained better water-holding capacity but also had an obviously reduced degree of lipid oxidation, protein oxidation and denaturation. Thawed samples LT2–4 and LT5–7 provided better maintenance of P. trituberculatus quality than the LT–1–1 and LT8–10 samples. The best quality was exhibited after thawing at 2–4 °C. The levels of thiobarbituric acid reacting substances, carbonyl content and surface hydrophobicity observably decreased in these samples, while the total sulfhydryl contents dramatically increased compared to those of conventionally thawed samples, indicating lower lipid oxidation and protein oxidation. Moreover, the Ca2+-ATPase activity of the sample thawed at 2–4 °C (2.06 μmol Pi/mg prot/h) was markedly higher than that of samples subjected to WIT and AT. The product qualities observed after thawing at –1 °C to 1 °C, 5–7 °C and 8–10 °C under LT were comparable to that observed by RT. Considering its thawing efficiency and product quality, LT is a suitable method for the thawing of P. trituberculatus, and the ideal thawing conditions were LT at 2–4 °C.

Abstract
In sub-Saharan Africa, the use of maize (Zea mays L.) grain as an energy source in poultry feeds has become unsustainable due to competing demands and suboptimal growing conditions for the maize crop. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor Moench L.) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) grains are potential sustainable alternatives, given their tolerance to local growing conditions. Therefore, this study evaluated the effect of total replacement of maize grain with whole or crushed sorghum and pearl millet grains on feed intake, and physiological and meat quality parameters of Jumbo quail. Five experimental diets were formulated by completely replacing crushed maize grain in a commercial grower diet (CON) with whole sorghum (WSG), crushed sorghum (CSG), whole millet (WMG), or crushed millet (CMG). Three hundred and fifty, two-week-old Jumbo quail chicks (74.7 ± 8.81 g live-weight) were evenly distributed into 35 replicate pens to which the experimental diets were allotted. Statistically similar (P > 0.05) weight gain and FCE values were observed between birds reared on the control and pearl millet-based diets. However, birds fed with sorghum-based diets had the lowest FCE and weight gain. Blood parameters fell within the normal ranges reported for healthy quail. Birds fed the whole sorghum grain diet had the least (P < 0.05) serum calcium and higher monocytes, cholesterol, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) concentrations compared to those reared on the control diet. Compared to the control, the whole sorghum-containing diet reduced (P < 0.05) carcass, breast, wing, thigh, drumstick, liver, gizzard, and large intestine weights of the birds. Complete replacement of maize grain with pearl millet grain (whole or crushed) did not compromise feed intake, growth performance, and meat quality traits of the Jumbo quail birds. However, whole sorghum grain reduced growth performance of the birds.

[PMID: 32677102 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.15336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2020] [Revised: 05/03/2020] [Accepted: 05/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
This study examined the effects on conformation and oxidation of myofibrillar protein in largemouth bass by different thawing methods. The conventional thawing, microwave thawing, microwave (MVT) or ultrasound combined with vacuum thawing, microwave or far-infrared thawing (FMT) combined with magnetic nanoparticles were used in this experiment. The physicochemical changes were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic rheology. The protein structure changes were measured by Raman, intrinsic fluorescence, and second-derivative ultraviolet spectrometry. The degree of protein aggregation was evaluated by surface hydrophobicity, particle size, and zeta-potential measurements. Total sulfhydryl content, protein carbonyl content, Ca2+ -ATPase activity, and SDS-PAGE were used to analyze the degree of protein oxidation. Results showed that MVT and FMT samples had better thermal stability, more stable protein conformation, and a lower degree of protein oxidation. Thus, these two methods would be beneficial to sustain the quality of thawed fillets. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: In the market circulation, largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) need to be frozen. The thawing methods can directly affect the quality of frozen fish, thus causing the changes in the conformation of the myofibrillar protein in fish, and also affecting the degree of protein oxidation. The results showed that the microwave combined with vacuum and the magnetic nanoparticles combined with far-infrared thawing had less effect on myofibrillar protein of fish and were a better thawing method.

Abstract
Physicochemical changes and protein denaturation were evaluated for pork longissimus dorsi muscle subjected to different thawing methods. Fresh pork longissimus dorsi muscle served as a control. Microwave (MT), microwave combined with ultrasonic (MUT), microwave combined with 35 °C water immersion (MIT), microwave combined with 4 °C refrigeration (MRT), microwave combined with air convection (MAT), and microwave combined with running water (MWT) were applied. All microwave-based methods excepted for MT avoided localized overheating. The changes in the water holding capacity (WHC), color, TBARS, and protein solubility were lowest with MAT. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic rheological property measurements indicated, that the MAT samples changed only slightly and presented with complete peaks and high G' values compared with the other treatments. Thus, MAT may reduce protein denaturation associated with meat thawing. The results of this study indicated that MAT effectively shortens thawing time, preserves meat quality and uniformity, and could benefit the meat industry and those who consume its products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of ultrasonic thawing (0, 160, 280, 400 W) on water-holding capacity (WHC), physicochemical properties and structure of tuna myofibrillar proteins was investigated. RESULTS Thawing time was shown to decrease and thawing loss to increase significantly (P < 0.05) as power increased (160-400 W), whereas there was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in cooking loss. Changes in T2 relaxation time were investigated using low-field nuclear magnetic resonance. Ultrasonic thawing could significantly (P < 0.05) improve the immobilised water content compared to the control (0 W). surface hydrophobicity decreased significantly and then increased significantly (P < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in the reactive sulfhydryl content as power was increased. Tuna thawed at 280 W suffered fewer negative effects on its microstructure. Roman spectral date showed that the α-helix changed to a random coil and β-turn as power was increased (up to 400 W). CONCLUSION The application of ultrasonic thawing at a specified power was showed to be a beneficial process when used in the seafood industry, but application of excessive power resulted in lower WHC and structural changes to myofibrillar proteins. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The influence of ultrasonics combined with microwave thawing (UMT) and ultrasonics combined with far-infrared thawing (UIT) on the water migration and protein denaturation of red drum were studied. Five treatments were used: ultrasonics thawing (UT), microwave thawing (MT), far-infrared thawing (IT), UIT and UMT were used for thawing red drum filets. Moisture migration and protein aggregation were studied using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and particle size, respectively. Raman spectra and fluorescence spectra were used to study the secondary and tertiary structure of protein. SEM was done to observe the fiber microstructure. The results showed that UMT and UIT can maintained protein stability more than other thawing methods and retained the fiber structure of the muscle. Besides, immobilized water in fiber bundles network also had no significant changes compared with fresh samples. Thus, ultrasonics combined with far infrared or microwave thawing were used to decrease protein denaturation and water migration during the thawing of Red drum fillets.

Abstract
The effects of different thawing methods (air thawing, water soak thawing, refrigeration thawing, low frequency ultrasound thawing at 160, 240, 320 and 400 W) on thawing time, thawing loss, cooking loss, water-holding capacity and texture of frozen squid were investigated. The results showed that thawing loss and thawing time were reduced significantly ( p < 0.05) by ultrasound thawing compared with the water soak thawing and air thawing, but the cooking loss had no significant difference ( p > 0.05). Results of the ultrasound thawing especially at 160 and 240 W on microstructure showed less destructive effect on muscle. The microstructure of the muscle was destroyed significantly after air thawing and water soak thawing compared with the ultrasound thawing, which showed that more fibre structure was broken and the gap between the muscle fibres was increased significantly. Low-field NMR results showed that the ability of immobile water shifting to free water after ultrasound thawing was lower than air thawing and water soak thawing, which was consistent with the results of thawing loss and cooking loss. Ultrasound thawing might be chosen as an alternative method to enhance the quality during thawing process.

Physicochemical and Sensory Properties of Broiler Chicken Breast Meat Stored Frozen and Thawed Using Various Methods. J FOOD QUALITY 2018.

Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of the impact of freezing storage duration (1, 3, 5, and 7 months) and thawing methods, namely, in atmospheric air, water, and using microwave oven on the quality properties of broiler chicken breast meat. The physicochemical indicators of raw breast meat after thawing and after being subjected to heat treatment were evaluated. The sensory evaluation was also conducted. The findings indicate that the duration of storage has effects on the quality of meat stored frozen at −20°C. Unfavourable changes (p<0.05) were observed between the first and seventh months of freezing storage in respect of such areas as increased drip loss, increased thermal loss, colour changes, and reduced ash content in thawed breast meat as well as in those subjected to heat treatment. Unfavourable changes in the sensory properties, namely, diminished intensity of flavour and aroma, were also observed. The analysis revealed significant (p<0.05) impacts of thawing methods on the meat’s quality properties, depending on the duration of freezing storage. The application of microwave oven method of thawing meat enabled the retention of better physicochemical properties (reduction of drip and thermal losses and increased ash content) as well as sensory properties such as the desirability of the flavor and juiciness of meat stored for one-month period. A longer period of freezing storage (5 and 7 months) revealed higher degrees of colour saturation towards red (a∗) in raw breast meat as well as reduced brittleness of breast meat thawed using microwave oven method prior to and after the heat treatment in comparison to those thawed using atmospheric air and water. Practical Applications. The duration of freezing storage and thawing methods has impacts on the meat’s quality, including its processing value. The current study has its practical implications due to the immense consumption of broiler chicken meat, the high proportion of deep frozen meat products in commerce, and the acceptability and popularity of frozen stored meat in households. The current study enables one to ascertain how the physicochemical and sensory properties of broiler chicken breast meat change over the period of freezing storage (for 1, 3, 5, and 7 months) and which of the applied thawing methods (in atmospheric air, water, or microwave method) is most favourable for retaining meat’s best quality.
