Ultrasound
Ultrasound has attracted considerable interest in
food science and technology due to its promising effects
in food processing and preservation. As one of the
advanced food technologies it can be applied to develop
gentle but targeted processes to improve the quality and
safety of processed foods. Ultrasound is a form of energy
generated by sound (really pressure) waves of frequencies
that are too high to be detected by human ear i.e. above

ultrasound over heat treatment include; minimum flavor
