The food industry has a very wide range of methods and means of influencing raw materials to give them the required technological properties. One of the prospective and effective physical methods of processing raw materials and food products, according to a number of studies, is ultrasound, which helps to increase productivity, reduce energy costs, improve the quality of finished products, extend shelf life, and most importantly, ensure safe and minimally processed products. To prevent microbiological deterioration, the products are subjected to various treatments, the main of which is the effect of low temperatures (cooling, freezing) or high temperatures (pasteurization, sterilization). However, these methods either slow down microbiological processes or reduce the nutritional and biological value. In this regard, the study of innovative methods that guarantee the consumer safe and minimally processed products, one of which is the method of ultrasound processing becomes particularly relevant. The impact of ultrasonic waves on physical and chemical processes occurring during the cooling process can improve the quality of the finished product, increase storage time, reduce energy consumption and create products with new consumer properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
