Abstract
The effects of mono-, dual- and tri-frequency ultrasound-assisted thawing (UAT) on the physicochemical quality, water-holding capacity, moisture migration and distribution and myofibrillary structure of frozen large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) were detected. The results indicated that multifrequency UAT treatment significantly increased the thawing rate, maintained the stability of myofibrils and reduced the lipid oxidation. The multifrequency UAT samples had better water-holding capacity (higher water-holding capacity values, lower thawing loss and cooking loss) and physicochemical quality (higher hardness, springiness, resilience, chewiness and lower total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) values, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values), higher immobilized water content, and lower free water content. Therefore, the results provide a further understanding of the quality stability of frozen large yellow croaker treated by the multifrequency UAT.
