The effects of magnetic nanoparticles combined with microwave or far infrared thawing on the freshness and safety of red seabream (Pagrus major) fillets

摘要

The effects of magnetic nanoparticles combined with microwave thawing (MNPMT) and magnetic nanoparticles combined with far-infrared thawing (MNPFT) on the freshness and amines content of red seabream fillets were investigated. Four thawing methods were used: microwave thawing (MT), far-infrared thawing (FIRT), magnetic nanoparticles combined with microwave thawing (MNPMT) and magnetic nanoparticles combined with far-infrared thawing (MNPFT). The quality of the fresh sample, the sample after thawing and thawed sample after being stored for 6 h were compared by measuring the freshness indexes such as the volatile amino nitrogen content, thiobarbituric acid content, pH value, total number of viable colonies, and the food safety evaluation indexes such as the formaldehyde, dimethylamine, trimethylamine and putrescine contents. The results showed that MNPFT and MNPMT can maintain better freshness than microwave and far-infrared thawing, and the increase in amines content was significantly inhibited.
