Impact of the magnetic field‐assisted freezing on the moisture content, water migration degree, microstructure, fractal dimension, and the quality of the frozen tilapia

Abstract

Tilapia, also known as the African crucian carp, is a freshwater farmed fish cultivated worldwide by the aquaculture industry. It has high economic value, and its data are supported by key scientific research. China is the world's largest tilapia farming and supplying country (China Agriculture Press, 2020). Magnetic resonance imaging technology refers to the use of nuclear magnetic resonance principles. Through spatial coding technology, the radio frequency signal emitted from hydrogen atoms is processed by a computer to form an image. This technology has been widely used in food and agriculture, petroleum surveying, porous media, polymer materials, and other fields and has become an increasingly popular scientific research method (Zhao et al., 2017). Cui Zhiyong analyzed the relaxation characteristics of three kinds of pork to establish prediction models of moisture content based on the LF-NMR technology.According to the differential moisture-binding strength of bound water, nonflowing water, and free water, the relaxation time can be recorded. The comparison of this relaxation time, in combination with the least-squares method, partial least-squares method, and

Protective effects of dietary Kefir against aflatoxin B1‐induced hepatotoxicity in Nile tilapia fish, Oreochromis niloticus

“…

The Nile tilapia cichlid fish (Oreochromis niloticus L.), also called African crucian carp, is a fish cultivated by the freshwater aquaculture industry. It is the second most cultivated species of fish in the world, and its total production has increased by around 10% per year since 2001 and is expected to reach 128 million tons in 2030 (Wei et al, 2021). To cope up with the increasing production of this species, better feed formulations should be provided to meet increasing feed requirements at different growth stages (Xia et al, 2021).

Metabolism effects of static magnetic field‐assisted freezing on shrimp (Penaeus vannamei)

“…In recent years, magnetic field‐assisted freezing technology has gained considerable attention for its numerous advantages in the freezing process. These encompass enhanced freezing speed, control over ice crystal characteristics (size, shape, distribution) and an overall improvement in product quality (Wang et al ., 2022; Wei et al ., 2022). Magnetic field‐assisted freezing technology has been shown to effectively preserve the quality attributes of products, including colour, flavour, taste and texture (Zhu et al ., 2023).…”
