Abstract: With the development of modern agricultural technology and the in-depth research of magnetic biological effect, magnetic field has been widely used in various fields of agricultural science. An appropriate magnetic field condition such as intensity, waveform, and frequency can produce specific non-thermal effects on raw materials of agricultural product. It can regulate the metabolism, respiration and mass and heat transfer efficiency of biological tissues and cells, maily by influencing water cluster, cell morphology, biomolecular activity and gene expression. Therefore, compared with other physical processing, its effects manifest more slowly. On the other hand, the same magnetic field parameters will show different effects for different processing objects. At present, magnetic field technology has been verified and applied in the field of agricultural products processing. The related research contents mainly include preservation, sterilization, fermentation, and extraction of agricultural products assisted with magnetic field, but there is a lack of comprehensive summary and analysis. Therefore, this paper summarizes the application and status of magnetic field biochemical technology in agricultural products processing, and discusses the problems and future development trends, in order to provides a reference for the application of this technology in agricultural field.

Key words: magnetic field, biological effect, agricultural product, storage, sterilization, fermentation
