Abstract

Agricultural products usually contain a large number of spoilage bacteria and endogenous enzymes, which can adversely affect the quality of agricultural products. Radio frequency is a kind of dielectric heating technology, which has fast heating speed and high efficiency, can effectively inactivate microorganisms and endogenous enzymes in agricultural products and has little influence on the quality of agricultural products， such as color, texture and nutritional composition, etc. This review summarized the mechanism of action of radiofrequency sterilization blunt enzyme technology and its application in agricultural products processing in recent years, and the shortcomings and solutions of radiofrequency sterilization blunt enzyme technology was pointed out. Moreover, the future application of radiofrequency sterilization blunt enzyme technology in agricultural products and food was also prospected.
