Avocado anxiety could be over as magnetic field helps puree stay fresh

Scientists in China have demonstrated that they can enhance the quality of frozen avocado puree by applying a uniform and multi-directional oscillating magnetic field during the freezing process. Although freezing can help extend a food’s shelf life, the quality after thawing is sometimes inferior to that of the fresh product – this work, led by Yamei Jin and Zhengjun Xie from Jiangnan University, could solve that problem.
