The results showed that ultrasonic-assisted thawing increased the thawing rate and shortened the thawing time by 26.72–64.99 % compared to water immersion thawing, and inhibited the lipid oxidation. Regarding the quality characteristics of frozen pork, the samples thawed by combined tri-frequency sequential ultrasound mode (TSEU) at 20/50/35 kHz exhibited better water retention (lower thawing loss and cooking loss) and physicochemical quality (lowest hardness, highest tenderness, lower TBARS values). Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance results displayed that the mobility and loss of bound and free water in pork tissue reduced effectively after ultrasound treatment at 20/50/35 kHz. The microstructure analysis revealed that the microstructure of pork thawed by 20/50/35 kHz was closest to that of fresh meat, and the distribution of muscle fibers was close and regular. Therefore, TSEU at 20/50/35 kHz was considered to be the most appropriate treatment for pork thawing, which could significantly accelerate the thawing rate and maintaining the meat quality.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100545,"journal":{"name":"Food Physics","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100002"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49721207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
