Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultrasound technology has been successfully demonstrated for many food processing, preservation, and extraction food industry applications. Significant advances in food processing applications of both high and low frequency ultrasound for food processing have been reported in recent years. High frequency ultrasound is typically used as a non-destructive analytical technique as a process analytical technique, whereas low frequency ultrasound has been employed for process intensification, enhancing extraction rates, food preservation and other specialised processing applications including food fermentation, downstream processing, drying, wine ageing, degassing or deaeration of beverages.
The objective of this special issue is to capture the most recent advances in the development and application area of ultrasound technology for the food industry.
