This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical properties of frozen pork muscle which has been thawed using the ohmic thawing process, and to establish the optimal ohmic power intensity. The samples were frozen at $-40^{\circ}C$ and thawed at 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 V by ohmic thawing. Increasing ohmic power intensity correlated with increased thawing rates. The relationship between ohmic power intensity and thawing rate can be represented as a polynomial function. The pH value decreased with increasing ohmic power intensity (p<0.05). With regard to color measurement, the $L^*$, a, and b values of thawing at all ohmic power intensities were not significantly different. The water holding capacity showed a peak value of 41.62% with an ohmic thawing intensity of 30 V. Cooking losses were lowest at the lowest ohmic thawing intensity of 10 V. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels with all thawing processes were slightly higher than that of the control (p<0.05). Increasing ohmic power intensity did not tend to change the total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) value.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of ohmic power intensity on the physico-chemical properties of hamburger patties. Six different ohmic power intensities (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50V) were delivered by controlling the power with the sine wave at 50Hz. The ohmic power intensity influenced the thawing rate, and increasing ohmic power intensity increased the thawing rate. The faster thawing rate was obtained at higher ohmic power intensity (50V) with 0.5% NaCl added meat patties in comparison to no NaCl added hamburger patties. The pH values of all patties were not significantly different with increasing ohmic power intensity (p<0.05). Increasing thawing rate did not tend to improve the water holding capacity (WHC) of all patties by ohmic thawing. Cooking losses were almost the same regardless of increasing ohmic power intensity. Increasing ohmic power intensity tended to increase the thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels. TBARS levels of all hamburger patties without NaCl were significantly higher than that of 0.5% NaCl added hamburger patties (p<0.05) at higher ohmic intensity (50V). In conclusion, these results indicated that a higher ohmic power intensity at 50 V induced the lipid oxidation of all patties.

This study investigated the effects of a low-voltage ohmic heating process (2.5 and 3.8 V/cm) on the thawing characteristics and NaCl diffusion of pork. The thawing rate of pork was dependent on the applied voltages and brine salinities, and few differences were obtained in pork quality parameters (color, water-holding capacity, and shear force) regarding the different treatments. The NaCl concentration of pork after ohmic thawing was higher than that following brine-immersion thawing, however, the NaCl diffusion did not differ from when fresh meat was immersed in brine. For application of the ohmic process in fresh pork, various ohmic pulses were generated in order to prevent the meat from overheating, and the results indicated that the ohmic process was a better way to enhance NaCl diffusion compared with immersing pork at high temperature. Although the mechanisms involved in NaCl diffusion at low-voltage electric field strength were unclear, the present study demonstrated that the ohmic process has a potential benefit in the application of meat processing.

In the current study, ohmic combined with brine immersion thawing increased thawing time than plate contact type ohmic thawing even at low voltage. Moreover, rapid thawing resulted in high WHC and improved meat tenderness. The result indicated if the problems in safety would be solved, brine immersion type ohmic thawing could reduce processing time in industrial application promising both improved meat qualities and successful application in meat industry, and further works were needed.

본 실험은 전압의 증가에 따른 염수 침지식 및 전극 접촉식 ohmic 해동 처리가 돈육의 이화학적 특성에 미치는 효과를 규명하고자 실시되었다. 염수 침지식 ohmic 해동방법은 전압에 의한 염수의 온도 상승에 의하여 시료가 해동 됨으로써 시료 표면의 과열 현상이 효과적으로 억제되었고, 해동 후 높은 보수력 및 전단력의 저하가 관찰되었지만, 육색이 다소 저하되는 단점을 나타내었다. 반면 전극 접촉식 ohmic 해동 방법은 해동 과정 중 얼음의 상전이 구간을 빠르게 통과함으로써 빠른 해동이 가능하였고, 해동 후 식육의 품질 저하가 최소화되었지만, 시료의 크기 및 전압의 증가에 따른 심한 표면 과열 현상이 발생할 수 있는 단점을 보였다. 따라서 염수 침지식 해동은 보다 높은 전압을 이용하여 식육을 빠르게 해동하고, 전극 접촉식 해동은 낮은 전압을 이용하여 표면 과열을 억제하면 보다 효과적인 해동이 가능할 것으로 사료되었다.

Ohmic heating occurs when an electric current is passes through food, resulting in a temperature rise in the product due to the conversion of the electric energy into heat. The time spent in the thawing is critical for product sterility and quality. The objective of this study is to conduct numerical modelling between the effect of ohmic thawing intensity on PTT(phase transition time) at constant concentration and the effect of matrix concentrations on PTT at constant voltage condition. the stronger ohmic thawing intensity resulted in decreasing the PTT. High ohmic intensity causes short PTT. And the higher gelatin concentration, the faster increment of PTT. A numerical modeling was executed to predict the PTT influenced by the power intensity using exponential regression and the PTT influenced by gelatin concentration using logarithmic regression. Therefore, from this numerical model of gelatin matrix, it is possible to estimate exact values extensively.

This study was designed to investigate effects of AC frequency on the thawing process, using laboratory scale ohmic thawing system. The ohmic thawing property of 30% gelatin matrix was examined by using low frequency alternating current (20 Hz-110 Hz, sine wave). When the voltage was fixed to 50V, thawing time was negligible influenced as the frequency decreased. Total thawing time of the gelatin matrix decreased sharply at the frequency of 50 Hz. The current flow was first observed during the thawing process in the temperature ranges of $-\;5^{\circ}\;C{\sim}\;-\;3^{\circ}\;C$.

Ohmic heating은 식품에 교류 전류를 흘려줄 때 식품 내부에 전기 저항열이 발생되는 것을 이용한 것으로, 이를 기존의 수해동법에 적용하여 해동시간의 단축과 그에 따른 품질 향상 효과를 연구하였다. 자체 제작한 ohmic 수해동 장치에 동결육$(10{\times}10{\times}10{\;}cm)$을 넣고 해동 실험하였다. 윗면이 개방된 acryl box$(12{\times}12{\times}12{\;}cm)$를 용기로 사용하였으며, stainlesssteel 전극$(10{\times}10{\;}cm)$을 양쪽 벽면에 설치하였다. 용기 내 물의 온도를 $20^{\circ}C$ 또는 $10^{\circ}C$로 고정하였다. 해동시간은 동일한 주파수(60 Hz)에서 전압을 높여줄수록$(60{\sim}210{\;}V)$ 단축되었으며, 수해동만을 한 경우에 비해 최고 1/4 이상 단축되었다. 동일한 전압에서 주파수가 높아질수록 $(60{\sim}60{\;}kHz)$ 해동시간이 단축되었으나 그 효과는 크지 않았다. 수해동만을 한 경우나 높은 전압을 적용한 경우보다 낮은 전압을 적용한 경우 drip loss가 적었고 보수력이 우수하였다.

본 연구는 Ohmic heating system을 이용하여 돈육을 해동하여 해동에 의한 식육의 손상을 최소화하고 신선육과 유사한 해동육을 얻기 위해 최적 해동 속도에 대한 기초 자료를 마련하고자 실시하였다. 각각의 ohmic power intensity(AC, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 Volt)에 따른 돈육의 해동속도는 기하학적으로 중심부 변화에서 가장 빠른 해동속도는 40V에서 1,582 cm/h로 산출되었고 OV의 0.307cm/h에 비하여 약 5배 정도 빠르게 나타났으며 power intensity가 증가할수록 해동속도가 증가하였다. 이와 같이 ohmic intensity(X: volt)와 해동속도(Y: cm/h)변화를 수학적으로 나타내었는데 다음과 같다; lnY=-0.8971+$1.0345{\cdot}X$ $R^2=0.9968$. 각각의 ohmic power와 비교에서 대조구인 신선육의 보수력이 가장 높았고 해동시료인 처리구간 비교에서 power가 상대적으로 높은 30V, 40V에서 보수력이 가장 좋게 나타났다. Cooking loss에서는 power intensity에 따른 유의적인 변화는 발견되지 않았다. Colo에서는 b-값의 경우 ohmic power intensity가 증가함에 따라 다소 감소하는 경향을 보여 주었다. 해동시 power intensity가 증가할수록 pH는 다소 낮아지는 경향을 보여주었다. 또한 육의 TBA가는 이와 반대로 ohmic thawing은 육의 TBA가를 증가시키는 요인으로 작용하였는데, power intensity에 따른 변화는 유의적인 차이를 보여주지 않았다. 그러나 VBN가에서는 신선육에 비해 해동육의 VBN은 증가하였지만 해동방법에 따른 차아는 발견되지 않았다.
