Abstract
With the development of economy, there's an unprecedented surge in food demand, necessitating the development of innovative technologies to minimize alterations in food quality. Magnetic field (MF), as a non-thermal technology, possesses a robust potential to mitigate undesirable thermal impacts on nutritional and qualitative attributes of food. This has sparked considerable interest among researchers in exploring the application of MF technology in food sector. The review summarizes the basic biological characteristics of MF, which include bidirectionality, window effect, hysteresis effect, amplification effect, and accumulation effect, as well as its biological mechanism on living organisms including cell membranes, biological macromolecules, and free radicals. A comprehensive summary of the theory and corresponding implications of MF in food processing is provided, including germicidal efficacy and fermentation, food preservation (freezing, chilling storage, supercooling and drying), thawing, extraction, protein modification, seed germination and combined others techniques or functional substance. Finally, key areas for future research are highlighted, and notable deficiencies are proposed. Overall, the purpose of this review is to propel the advancement and practical implementation of MF technology in food processing industry.
期刊介绍:
Food Control is an international journal that provides essential information for those involved in food safety and process control.
Food Control covers the below areas that relate to food process control or to food safety of human foods:
• Microbial food safety and antimicrobial systems
• Mycotoxins
• Hazard analysis, HACCP and food safety objectives
• Risk assessment, including microbial and chemical hazards
• Quality assurance
• Good manufacturing practices
• Food process systems design and control
• Food Packaging technology and materials in contact with foods
• Rapid methods of analysis and detection, including sensor technology
• Codes of practice, legislation and international harmonization
• Consumer issues
• Education, training and research needs.
The scope of Food Control is comprehensive and includes original research papers, authoritative reviews, short communications, comment articles that report on new developments in food control, and position papers.
