Serious quality deterioration can occur with suboptimal thawing, and thus innovative thawing technologies may have an important role in improving the final quality of frozen foods. In recent years, although several new thawing technologies have been extensively studied, such as ultra-high pressure assisted thawing, ultrasound-assisted thawing, high-voltage electrostatic field thawing, ohmic thawing, and radio frequency thawing, more research is needed to make them more applicable to thawing of food industrially. A better evaluation of the impact of thawing is needed to help move new thawing technologies forward. This review discusses the principles involved, the applications to different types of foods, modeling of the various processes, new evaluation techniques, and patents obtained for the different systems. The benefits and weaknesses of these systems are also discussed to provide a more complete review of these new thawing techniques. This review will, hopefully, encourage additional work that may help reach the goal of having better food thawing systems.
