“…In addition, HIU is a low‐cost, safe, nontoxic, eco‐friendly, and highly efficient technique that minimizes thermal processing, as decontamination and modification of the structure and functional components facilitate the inactivation of microbes (such as Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus , Salmonella enteritidis, Aeromonas , Listeria monocytogenes , Lactobacillus monocytogenes , Shigella , and Bacillus subtilis ) and enzymes to ensure food safety (Abrahamsen & Narvhus, 2022; Baboli et al., 2020; Bai, Shi, et al., 2023; Liu et al., 2022; Nehring et al., 2022; Rathnakumar et al., 2023; Tahmasebi et al., 2023). It is worth noting that ultrasonics have been shown to roughly reduce the populations of bacterial species in biofilm by 3–4 orders on fruits and vegetables, but the use of low‐intensity ultrasonics has been shown to inhibit E. coli O157:H7 and reduce biofilm production on leafy greens (Bai, Dai, et al., 2023). Ultrasonic sterilization significantly improves the quality of food products and can also be combined with other sterilization methods, which can better preserve the nutrient content, namely, with less damage to the overall food quality, compared to conventional antimicrobial strategies (Bai, Dai, et al., 2023; Mohammed & Al‐Hajhoj, 2019).…”
