AB  - Although freezing is the most popular long-term food preservation method, the 
      formation of ice crystals during the freezing process often degrades the quality 
      of the product. Recently, several reports have argued that oscillating magnetic 
      fields (OMFs) may affect ice crystallization. In this paper, we investigated the 
      effects of OMFs on fresh mackerel using the Cell Alive System(R) (CAS(R)) developed 
      as an additional OMF generator for a rapid freezer. Mackerel fillets were frozen 
      with home freezing (HF), air blast freezing without (ABF) or with CAS (ABF-CAS) 
      (ABI Co. Ltd., Chiba, Japan), and stored them for 2 weeks in the frozen storage 
      between -30  degrees C and -35  degrees C. We analyzed the tissue damages of thawed samples 
      histologically. The OMFs has been shown to significantly inhibit tissue damage in 
      mackerel tissue after freezing and thawing (especially, thawing in ice water). 
      And it seems that OMFs suppressed the ice hole counts (p < 0.05), the mean size 
      (p = 0.061), and the increase of interstitial area% (p < 0.05) after 
      freezing/thawing. We also found that it is necessary to avoid re-crystallization 
      during thawing to maintain the quality of the frozen product. The use of OMFs 
      with rapid thawing has the potential to improve cryopreservation in the food 
      industry as well as in the bioscience industry.
