In the food industry, ultrasound is a recent and potentially favorable technology. A number of physical and chemical changes are generated in the food by the transmission and distribution of ultrasound waves which enhance the productivity of many food processing operations. This technology is also used as a diagnostic tool in quality control of food products. Ultrasound processing falls under the category of green technology due to ecofriendly and non toxic behavior.The present review summarizes the role of this ultrasound technology along with its aids to the industry for example; improvements in cooking quality, enhancements of physicochemical properties, microbial inactivation, and also pretreatment to reduce acrylamide and to recover the valuable biomaterial from the food waste.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
