Abstract
In order to explore the application prospects of static magnetic field (SMF) combined with supercooling in meat preservation, this study proposed a novel method of supercooling assisted by a stationary magnetic field (SMF + supercooling) for the preservation of chilled pork, evaluating its cooling rate and quality changes (e.g., water holding capacity, color, pH, and TVB-N), as well as the evolution trend of the microbiota. The results showed that SMF + supercooling significantly (P < 0.05) improved the cooling rate of pork. Compared to chilling and supercooling, SMF + supercooling significantly delayed the increase of TVB-N and TVC on the 12th day of storage (P < 0.05). SMF + supercooling treatment achieves the maintenance of pork water-holding capacity by inhibiting water migration, reducing drip loss, cooking loss, and centrifugal loss of pork. The 16S rDNA bacteria flora analysis demonstrated that SMF + supercooling treatment reduced the relative abundance of spoilage bacteria such as Acinetobacter, Streptococcus, and Pseudomonas, delaying the deterioration of pork quality caused by microbial growth. The SMF + supercooling treatment can be considered a novel refrigeration preservation method that delays the deterioration of pork quality and extends its shelf life.
