Recent advancements in IR heating have highlighted its advantages over conventional methods, including short processing time, uniform heating and product temperature, superior quality of products, low energy consumption, high heat transfer rate, high energy efficiency, ease of control, compact equipment and eco-friendliness over the conventional heating systems. Considering these merits, IR has found several applications in food processing with increased interest and research in the last decade. Thus, this review discusses recent studies and technological advancements in IR heating, addressing the benefits, limitations, and challenges of its implementation across different food processing applications. In addition, it explores the synergistic utilization of IR radiation when combined with other novel technologies by assessing their combined impact on process efficiency, energy savings, and food quality. The findings of this study showed that in blanching, IR heating has shown potential to reduce nutrient loss and preserve sensory quality, enhancing the retention of vitamins and minerals. For microbial decontamination, it provides a non-chemical approach to pathogen reduction, minimizing foodborne risks while preserving product quality. In peeling applications, IR heating can achieve efficient removal of skin with minimal waste and damage to the edible portion, making it an eco-friendly option. When used for roasting, it contributes to the development of desirable colour, flavor, and texture attributes. Finally, in thawing applications, IR technology provides faster and more uniform heating, reducing drip loss and improving product quality. From the foregoing, it was established that the adoption of IR heating technology in food processing represents a significant advancement in enhancing product quality and process efficiency across the various applications. Moreover, combining IR heating with other novel food processing technologies further improved process efficiency, enhanced energy savings, and preserved or even boosted food quality. Further research on optimization, process modelling, and the integration of IR heating with other technologies could expand its applicability and effectiveness, paving the way for more sustainable and high-quality food processing solutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100545,"journal":{"name":"Food Physics","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100046"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143155989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To promote preservation, this research evaluated the effectiveness of combining ultrasound treatment, nanocomposite packaging, and cold storage ― a method known as ultrasonic nano-cooling (UNC) on quality of mutton. Various ultrasound frequencies (40 and 80 kHz) and processing times (2–4 minutes) were applied to process the mutton. Thereafter, the products were packaged in nanocomposite film, made from sorghum starch and <em>Azadirachta indica</em> gum nanoparticles, and then stored under cold temperature condition: 2°C, 4°C, and 6°C. Analysis of the physical and biochemical properties revealed significant improvements in quality due to UNC preservation compared to the control (p < 0.05). Notably, the total bacterial load dropped from 5.4 × 10⁶ CFU/g in the control to 1.9 × 10⁶ CFU/g at 2°C with 80 kHz ultrasound after 4 minutes. This effect may be due to enhanced cavitation effects at higher frequencies, which, according to previous studies, can disrupt microbial cell walls. Lipid oxidation reduced from 0.45 mg MDA/kg to 0.20 mg MDA/kg, likely due to minimized thermal degradation and oxidative reactions, facilitated by lower temperatures and effective packaging. Water holding capacity increased from 70 % to 85 %, due to improved muscle fiber structure from ultrasound treatment, which aids moisture retention. The pH remained steady between 5.8 and 6.0, reflecting minimal spoilage and effective microbial control.
