“…Different frequency ranges can be used in HIU technology, however, to alter physical or chemical food properties a low frequency (16-100 kHz) and a large range of power (10-1000 W cm 2 ) are generally applied (Soria & Villamiel, 2010;Rastogi, 2011). Recently, power ultrasound was used to improve the functional properties of proteins (Jambrak et al, 2009;Karki et al, 2009;Chen et al, 2011;Hu et al, 2013a,b;Huang et al, 2017;. Studies have shown that HIU can break peptide bonds, destroy non-covalent interactions and change the conformation of proteins' subunits by inducing their dissociation and/or aggregation and changing therefore their functional properties (Jambrak et al, 2009;Tang et al, 2009;Martini et al, 2010;Martini & Walsh, 2012;Hu et al, 2013b).…”
