Description
Ultrasound cooking uses high-frequency sound waves to create microbubbles in food, increasing mass transfer and cooking rates.
Technical
The process involves applying ultrasound energy at frequencies between 20-40 kHz, with intensities ranging from 10-100 W/cm², leading to temperatures up to 80°C and reduced cooking times by 50-90%. This technique has applications in food preservation by creating a sterile environment through microbubble formation and cell disruption.
