Electromagnetic freezing applies magnetic fields during freezing to theoretically improve frozen food quality. While some companies have marketed electromagnetic freezers since the 2000s, a 2009 study found that the weak oscillating magnetic fields (OMFs) used in commercial freezers had no effect on ice crystal size, microstructure, color, texture, drip losses, or sensory attributes compared to static air freezing. A subsequent study also found no significant differences in drip loss, water-holding capacity, toughness, or whiteness between crab sticks frozen with varying strengths of OMFs compared to those frozen without OMFs. Future research with stronger or varying frequencies of OMFs across different foods and methods may be needed to fully understand their potential effects on
