Ultra‑high‑pressure homogenization applies 100–300 MPa over milliseconds to disrupt microbial cells and alter protein structures, enabling non‑thermal pasteurization.
Ultra‑high‑pressure pasteurization uses 400–600 MPa pressure at mild temperatures to inactivate pathogens while preserving nutrients.
A method of preserving meat by storing it at extremely low temperatures to slow enzymatic activity and microbial growth.
Ultra‑slow dehydration uses controlled low temperature (≤30 °C) and low humidity to remove water while preserving color, flavor, and nutrients.
Ultrasonic assisted extraction of spices uses acoustic cavitation to rapidly release flavor and bioactive compounds at moderate temperatures.
Ultrasonic cutting uses high-frequency vibrations to create a cutting action, often in conjunction with a blade or knife.
Ultrasonic cutting and emulsification use high‑frequency acoustic waves to manipulate food structure at the micro‑scale.
Ultrasonic homogenization uses high‑frequency acoustic waves to create cavitation that shears oil droplets into micron‑sized particles, stabilizing oil‑in‑water emulsions.
High‑frequency ultrasound collapses micro‑bubbles to shear oil‑water interfaces, producing sub‑micron droplets while keeping bulk temperatures low.
Ultrasonic emulsification uses high‑frequency cavitation to produce nano‑sized droplets in sauces.
High‑frequency ultrasound creates cavitation that shatters oil droplets into nano‑sized emulsions.
Ultrasonic foamification uses high‑frequency acoustic waves to generate cavitation bubbles that collapse, entraining gas into a protein‑rich liquid to form a stable foam.
High‑frequency ultrasound creates cavitation that shears droplets and proteins into fine emulsions.
Ultrasonic homogenization uses high‑frequency sound waves to create cavitation, producing intense shear that breaks droplets into submicron sizes, yielding stable emulsions.
Ultrasonic homogenization uses high-frequency sound waves to create stable emulsions.
Ultrasonic homogenization uses high-frequency sound waves to break down particles and emulsify sauces.
Ultrasonic processing uses high‑frequency acoustic waves to generate cavitation and acoustic streaming, producing localized high pressure and shear that can disrupt cell walls, denature proteins, and reduce particle size.
Ultrasonic‑assisted preservation uses high‑frequency acoustic waves to generate cavitation, disrupting microbial cells and enhancing antimicrobial penetration.
Ultrasound cooking uses high-frequency sound waves to create microbubbles in food, increasing mass transfer and cooking rates.
A technique that uses ultrasonic waves to break plant cells and boost the release of flavors and bioactive compounds.
Mushroom-based ingredients enhance umami flavor through glutamates, Maillard reaction, and reduction.
