Description
Ultrasonic homogenization uses high‑frequency acoustic waves to create cavitation, producing intense shear that breaks emulsion droplets into sub‑micron sizes.
Technical
Cavitation generates localized temperatures up to ~5000 °C and pressures exceeding 1000 bar for microseconds, reorganizing emulsifier molecules and enhancing interfacial film stability. The resulting shear forces reduce droplet size and improve emulsion stability while preserving heat‑sensitive ingredients.
Science
Primary Reaction
