“…The term ultrasound (sonication) demonstrates acoustic longitudinal waves with a frequency above the threshold of human hearing (20 kHz). The ultrasound technique is cost-effective, simple, non-invasive, energy-saving and is emerging tremendously 5 . Also, this technique is a powerful synthesis method for a multitude of nanobiomaterials 6 .…”

Ultrasound (sonication) treatment can be used directly for dehydration or pre-treatment before the osmotic dehydration (OD) procedure of fruit or vegetable particles. The combination of this technique with the OD technique can further improve the dehydration process efficiencies by increasing the mass transfer rates and enhancing final product quality. In this study, apple slices were osmotically dehydrated in different hypertonic sucrose solutions and assisted with or without ultrasound. Sucrose concentrations (in three levels of 30, 40, and 50° Brix), sonication power (in three levels of 0, 75, and 150 W), and treatment time (in six time intervals: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min) were the factors investigated concerning weight reduction, soluble solids gain, water loss and rehydration. Also, mass transfer kinetics were modelled according to Page, Newton, Midilli, Logarithmic, Verma, and Two terms equations. Increased sucrose solution concentration resulted in higher weight reduction, soluble solids gain and water loss. Also, increased sonication power levels resulted in higher weight reduction, soluble solids gain and water loss. The average rehydration ratio of apple slices decreased from 237.7 to 177.5%, by increasing osmotic solution concentration from 30 to 50%. The Page equation showed the best fitting for water loss data. The effective moisture diffusivity (Deff) of apple slices during OD calculated using Fick’s second law applied to a slab geometry was found to be in the range of 1.48 × 10–10 and 4.62 × 10–10 m2s−1 for water loss.

“…Low intensity or dose grading of US and harmless sonosensitizers only acts when they are present in cancer cells at the same time, with low toxicity to nearby common cells, reducing the side effects associated with the treatment. 178–181 In particular, most of the sonosensitizers are derived from photosensitizers including porphyrins and porphyrin derivatives. Currently, most of the sonosensitizers developed for SDT are the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved photosensitizers or drugs for clinical use.…”
