Ultrasonic cutting and emulsification use high‑frequency acoustic waves to manipulate food structure at the micro‑scale.
Origin: French molecular gastronomy pioneers (21st century) — France
See full technique reference →The technique relies on cavitation‑induced shear forces to achieve precise cuts or fine emulsions while keeping temperature rises minimal, enabling chefs to create novel textures and stable sauces with controlled droplet sizes. Cavitation bubbles collapse generating localized pressures of 10–20 MPa, producing shear forces that shear cell walls without mechanical abrasion.
