[PMID: 38781674 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Emulsion systems are extensively used in the food processing sector and the use of natural emulsifiers like proteins for stabilizing emulsion has been in demand from consumers due to increased awareness about the consumption of healthy food. Numerous methods are available for the preparation of emulsion, but ultrasound got more attention among common methods owing to its economical and environment-friendly characteristics. The physical effects caused by to bursting of the cavity bubble, result in reduced droplet size, thus forming an emulsion with appreciable stability. Ultrasound ameliorates the emulsifying characteristics of natural emulsifiers like protein and improves the storage stability of the emulsion by positively boosting the rheological, emulsifying characteristics, improving zeta potential, and reducing average droplet size. The stability of protein-based emulsion is affected by environmental stresses hence conjugate of protein with polysaccharide showed good emulsifying characteristics. However, the data on the effect of ultrasound parameters on emulsifier properties is lacking and there is a need to develop a sonication device that can carry out large-scale emulsification operation. The review covers the principles and mechanisms of ultrasound-assisted formation of protein-based and protein-based conjugate emulsions. Further, the effect of ultrasound on various characteristics of protein-based emulsion is also explored. This review will provide concise data to the researchers to extend their experiments in the area of ultrasound emulsification which will help in commercializing the technology at the industrial scale.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are an important class of biomolecules derived from several sources. However, the inherent structure of polysaccharides prevents them from exhibiting favorable physicochemical properties, which restricts their development in agriculture, industry, food, and biomedicine. This paper systematically summarizes the changes in the primary and advanced structures of modified polysaccharides, and focuses on the effects of various modification methods on the hydrophobicity, rheological properties, emulsifying properties, antioxidant activity, hypoglycemic, and hypolipidemic activities of polysaccharides. Then there is a list the applications of modified polysaccharides in treating heavy metal pollutants, purifying water resources, improving beverage stability and bread quality, and precisely delivering the drug. When summarized and reviewed, the information above can shed further light on the relationship between polysaccharide structure and function. Determining the structure-activity relationship provides a scientific basis for the direction of molecular modifications of polysaccharides.

Ultrasonic and homogenization: An overview of the preparation of an edible protein-polysaccharide complex emulsion. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:4242-4281. [PMID: 37732485 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023]
Abstract
Emulsion systems are extensively utilized in the food industry, including dairy products, such as ice cream and salad dressing, as well as meat products, beverages, sauces, and mayonnaise. Meanwhile, diverse advanced technologies have been developed for emulsion preparation. Compared with other techniques, high-intensity ultrasound (HIUS) and high-pressure homogenization (HPH) are two emerging emulsification methods that are cost-effective, green, and environmentally friendly and have gained significant attention. HIUS-induced acoustic cavitation helps in efficiently disrupting the oil droplets, which effectively produces a stable emulsion. HPH-induced shear stress, turbulence, and cavitation lead to droplet disruption, altering protein structure and functional aspects of food. The key distinctions among emulsification devices are covered in this review, as are the mechanisms of the HIUS and HPH emulsification processes. Furthermore, the preparation of emulsions including natural polymers (e.g., proteins-polysaccharides, and their complexes), has also been discussed in this review. Moreover, the review put forward to the future HIUS and HPH emulsification trends and challenges. HIUS and HPH can prepare much emulsifier-stable food emulsions, (e.g., proteins, polysaccharides, and protein-polysaccharide complexes). Appropriate HIUS and HPH treatment can improve emulsions' rheological and emulsifying properties and reduce the emulsions droplets' size. HIUS and HPH are suitable methods for developing protein-polysaccharide forming stable emulsions. Despite the numerous studies conducted on ultrasonic and homogenization-induced emulsifying properties available in recent literature, this review specifically focuses on summarizing the significant progress made in utilizing biopolymer-based protein-polysaccharide complex particles, which can provide valuable insights for designing new, sustainable, clean-label, and improved eco-friendly colloidal systems for food emulsion. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Utilizing complex particle-stabilized emulsions is a promising approach towards developing safer, healthier, and more sustainable food products that meet legal requirements and industrial standards. Moreover, the is an increasing need of concentrated emulsions stabilized by biopolymer complex particles, which have been increasingly recognized for their potential health benefits in protecting against lifestyle-related diseases by the scientific community, industries, and consumers.

Effect of ultrasonic power on the stability of low-molecular-weight oyster peptides functional-nutrition W 1/O/W 2 double emulsion. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 92:106282. [PMID: 36584561 PMCID: PMC9830313 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.106282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Ultrasonic-assisted treatment is an eco-friendly and cost-effective emulsification method, and the acoustic cavitation effect produced by ultrasonic equipment is conducive to the formation of stable emulsion. However, its effect on the underlying stability of low-molecular-weight oyster peptides (LOPs) functional-nutrition W1/O/W2 double emulsion has not been reported. The effects of different ultrasonic power (50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 W) on the stability of double emulsions and the ability to mask the fishy odor of LOPs were investigated. Low ultrasonic power (50 W and 75 W) treatment failed to form a well-stabilized double emulsion, and excessive ultrasound treatment (150 W) destroyed its structure. At an ultrasonic power of 125 W, smaller particle-sized double emulsion was formed with more uniform distribution, more whiteness, and a lower viscosity coefficient. Meanwhile, the cavitation effect generated by 125 W ultrasonic power improved storage, and oxidative stabilities, emulsifying properties of double emulsion by reducing the droplet size and improved sensorial acceptability by masking the undesirable flavor of LOPs. The structure of the double emulsion was further confirmed by optical microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The ultrasonic-assisted treatment is of potential value for the industrial application of double emulsion in functional-nutrition foods.

Abstract
The present study described the formation of stable emulsion of flaxseed oil (0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% v/v) in ready to serve Mango beverages using 20 kHz ultrasound of power input 21 W, 32 W, 43 W for varying times 3, 5, 7 min to create emulsion droplets size 100-800 nm. Oil was extracted by ultrasound-assisted extraction and solvent extraction method by varying solvents, time, ultrasonic intensity etc. and physio-chemical characterization was conducted. Fatty acid profiling revealed that linolenic acid and linoleic acid are major fatty acids present in extracted oil. Effect of flaxseed oil in fruit-based beverage was evaluated in terms of turbidity, pH, acidity, color, antioxidant activity and carotenoids content. Pectin stabilizes emulsion droplets by generating electrostatic repulsion (ζ potential - 25 mV) and the emulsions were stable upto 18 days at (4 ± 2) °C. The rheological behaviour in terms of viscosity of the emulsion stayed unaffected with sonication time upon storage. The carotenoids and antioxidant activity significantly increased from 151.37 to 292.24 µg/mL and 26.99% to 61.43% respectively at 0 to 0.75% added oil in the beverage and enhanced stability by preventing lipid oxidation. Organoleptic score of 0.25% and 0.50% of the flaxseed oil in the beverage was found to be acceptable.

Abstract
Dairy and beverage products are considered highly nutritious. The increase demand for added nutritional benefits within the food systems consumed by the consumers paves the pathway towards fortifying nutraceuticals into these products. However, nutraceuticals are highly unstable towards harsh processing conditions. In addition, the safety of dairy and beverage products plays a very important role. Therefore, various heat treatments are in practice. As the heat-treated dairy and beverage products tends to illustrate several alterations in their organoleptic characteristics and nutritional properties, the demand for alternative non-thermal processing technologies has increased extensively within the food industry. Ultrasound and high-pressure processing technologies are desirable for this purpose as well as a safe and non-destructive technology towards encapsulation of nutraceuticals into food systems. There are benefits in implementing these two technologies in the production of dairy and beverage products with encapsulants, such as manufacturing high-quality products with improved nutritional value while simultaneously enhancing the sensory characteristics such as flavour, taste, texture, and colour and attaining the microbial quality. The primary objective of this review is to provide detailed information on the encapsulation of nutraceuticals and mechanisms involved with using US and HPP technologies on producing encapsulated yoghurt and beverage products.

Abstract
This study reports the development of non-dairy functional beverage emulsion employing ultrasound (US) of 20 kHz at 130 W and 195 W at processing times of 2 to 8 min using chickpea milk extract and bioactive, flaxseed oil (4%). The pre-emulsion was formed with high shear homogenizer followed by main sonication process. The sonicated emulsions were stored at 4 ± 2 °C till 14 days and characterized for physicochemical and functional properties. A comparative study was carried out using conventional high shear homogenizer (UT) at 10,000 RPM for 5 min. Upon optimization, 130 W - 8 min, 195 W - 6 min and 195 W - 8 min sono-emulsions showed creaming stability of 100%; with particle sizes as 1.12, 0.97 and 0.78 µm; and zetapotential values as - 40.4 mV, -37.52 and -36.91 mV, respectively. The improvement in protein solubility by 86% proved the emulsifying capability of chickpea proteins, which had partially denatured upon physical effects of acoustic cavitation producing stable and finer emulsion droplets. The reduced sedimentation values of sonicated chickpea extract in comparison to UT showed improvement in physical stability of plant-based milk. Oxidative stability is observed for 130 W - 8 min sonicated emulsions with no change in conjugated dienes, indicating the absence of process generated free radicals. The US process did not have any effect on reduction of stachyose content. But extracted chickpea milk had lower amount of stachyose in comparison to raw chickpeas, reducing the flatulence problem, mainly due to adaptation of high temperature pressure cooking process.

Abstract
The effects of different ultrasound treatments (20 kHz at 400 W for 0 to 9 min) on the functional properties, flavor characteristics, and storage stability of soybean milk at 4 °C were investigated. Results indicated that non-sonicated soymilk had the maximum particle size D4, 3 of 2.47 ± 0.47 µm, while 9 min high intensity ultrasound (HIU) decreased D4, 3 to 0.44 ± 0.01 µm. 9 min of HIU decreased the total number of microorganisms in soymilk from 4.51 to 3.95 Log (CFU/mL). Moreover, 9 min HIU increased the absolute value of ζ-potential from 36.43 to 34.13 mV. Turbiscan test showed that 9 min HIU decreased the instability index of soymilk from 0.78 to 0.65. Furthermore, sensory analysis, electronic nose, electronic tongue, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry showed that 7 min HIU decreased the content of aldehydes, furans, ketones, and alcohols by 52.09%, 75.01%, 56.79%, and 57.27%, respectively.

Properties of Oaxaca Cheese Elaborated with Ultrasound-Treated Raw Milk: Physicochemical and Microbiological Parameters. Foods 2022; 11:foods11121735.

Abstract
The effect of ultrasound-treated fresh raw milk upon yield, physicochemical and microbiological quality of Oaxaca cheese was evaluated under a factorial design. The ultrasound frequencies tested were 25 and 45 kHz, during 15 or 30 min. The cheeses made with the ultrasonicated milk (30 min, high-intensity ultrasound, HIU) had greater luminosity without significant changes in hue or chroma, as compared to the controls with no HIU. The yield improved significantly (by up to 2.8 kg/100 L of milk), as the ultrasound treatment time increased. Such cheese yield is attributable to the higher protein content, which was up to 1.5% higher, after sonication. Long-treatment time (30 min) at 25 kHz significantly lowered mesophilic bacteria counts down to limits allowed by current regulations and favors the growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) while lowering mold and yeast counts. The absence of E. coli and Salmonella spp. and the decrease in S. aureus counts in Oaxaca cheese were attributed to the mixing of the paste with hot water, inherent to the traditional elaboration process, and to the antagonistic effect of the ultrasound-triggered increased LAB on pathogenic bacteria. Since the artisanal elaboration of Oaxaca cheese does not comply with the current Mexican regulations regarding mesophiles, ultrasound could be a suitable technology to protect its genuine elaboration process with raw milk.

Abstract
The use of non-thermal processing technologies has grown in response to an ever-increasing demand for high-quality, convenient meals with natural taste and flavour that are free of chemical additions and preservatives. Food processing plays a crucial role in addressing food security issues by reducing loss and controlling spoilage. Among the several non-thermal processing methods, ultrasound technology has shown to be very beneficial. Ultrasound processing, whether used alone or in combination with other methods, improves food quality significantly and is thus considered beneficial. Cutting, freezing, drying, homogenization, foaming and defoaming, filtration, emulsification, and extraction are just a few of the applications for ultrasound in the food business. Ultrasounds can be used to destroy germs and inactivate enzymes without affecting the quality of the food. As a result, ultrasonography is being hailed as a game-changing processing technique for reducing organoleptic and nutritional waste. This review intends to investigate the underlying principles of ultrasonic generation and to improve understanding of their applications in food processing to make ultrasonic generation a safe, viable, and innovative food processing technology, as well as investigate the technology's benefits and downsides. The breadth of ultrasound's application in the industry has also been examined. This will also help researchers and the food sector develop more efficient strategies for frequency-controlled power ultrasound in food processing applications.

Abstract
In this study, an emulsion stabilized by soy protein isolate (SPI)-pectin (PC) complexes was prepared to investigate the effects of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) treatment (150-600 W) on the physicochemical properties, microstructure, and stability of emulsions. The results found that the emulsion treated at 450 W showed the best emulsion stability index (ESI) (25.18 ± 1.24 min), the lowest particle size (559.82 ± 3.17 nm), the largest ζ-potential absolute value (16.39 ± 0.18 mV), and the highest adsorbed protein content (27.31%). Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the emulsion aggregation was significantly improved by ultrasound treatment, and the average roughness value (Rq) was the smallest (10.3 nm) at 450 W. Additionally, HIU treatment reduced the interfacial tension and apparent viscosity of the emulsion. Thermal stability was best when the emulsion was treated at 450 W, D43 was minimal (907.95 ± 31.72 nm), and emulsion separation also improved. Consequently, the creaming index (CI) was significantly decreased compared to the untreated sample, indicating that the storage stability of the emulsion was enhanced.

Abstract
Intensification of ultrasonic processes for diversified applications, including environmental remediation, extractions, food processes, and synthesis of materials, has received attention from the scientific community and industry. The mechanistic pathways involved in intensification of ultrasonic processes that include the ultrasonic generation of cavitation bubbles, radical formation upon their collapse, and the possibility of fine-tuning operating parameters for specific applications are all well documented in the literature. However, the scale-up of ultrasonic processes with large-scale sonochemical reactors for industrial applications remains a challenge. In this context, this review provides a complete overview of the current understanding of the role of operating parameters and reactor configuration on the sonochemical processes. Experimental and theoretical techniques to characterize the intensity and distribution of cavitation activity within sonoreactors are compared. Classes of laboratory and large-scale sonoreactors are reviewed, highlighting recent advances in batch and flow-through reactors. Finally, examples of large-scale sonoprocessing applications have been reviewed, discussing the major scale-up and sustainability challenges.

Abstract
Chia oil is susceptible to oxidation and to make this oil application into foodstuffs possible, chia-oil based microparticles were produced. Oil-in-water emulsions were produced by ultrasound and their stability was maximized using a central composite rotational design (X1: pea protein X2: oil concentration). Hi-Cap® 100 (HC) or maltodextrin (MD) were used as carrier agents in spray drying. The validated formulation with 13.50% (w/w) oil and 3.87% (w/w) pea protein presented the best stability conditions (no phase separation for 7 days, monomodal size distribution, and 1.59 μm of moda diameter). Particles showed high encapsulation efficiency (87.71 and 91.97% for MD and HC, respectively) and low water activity and moisture values (0.114-0.150% and 2.64-3.41%, respectively). HC particles exhibited better physicochemical and structural characteristics, apart from their good reconstitution, which shows the potential of this approach as a viable alternative for the use of rich-plant ingredients, such as chia oil and pea protein.

Abstract
Emulsified ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid have expanding application in different food matrix with improved water solubility while still prone to oxidation. Lotus seedpod proanthocyanidin (LSPC) was grafted to whey protein isolate (WPI) to create nature-derived antioxidant emulsifiers. 1HNMR, SDS-PAGE and multiple spectrometry showed that the structure of protein was changed after grafting. DPPH and FRAP measurements showed that WPI-LSPC conjugate (90.53 ± 1.48% of DPPH scavenging, 691.85 ± 4.54 μg/mL for FRAP assay) possessed a much better antioxidant ability than WPI (17.06 ± 3.34% of DPPH scavenging, 10.43 ± 0.26 μg/mL for FRAP assay). Ultrasonic emulsification and DSC experiments showed that WPI-LSPC conjugate were more effective at forming and stabilizing the flaxseed oil emulsions than pure WPI, with higher thermostability. Likewise, low levels of primary and secondary oxidation products were formed for the conjugate than the pure protein in O/W systems after storage, again suggesting WPI-LSPC could be used as fine antioxidant emulsifiers in oxidizing delivery systems.

Recent advances and perspectives of ultrasound assisted membrane food processing. Food Res Int 2020; 133:109163. [PMID: 32466900 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2020.109163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2019] [Revised: 03/02/2020] [Accepted: 03/15/2020] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
Power ultrasound (US) transmits substantial amounts of small mechanical movements serving for particle detaching in membrane filtrations. This topic has been reviewed in recent years mainly focused on the mechanisms by which the flux is improved under specific processing conditions. US also been shown to improve food quality by changing physical properties and modifying the activity of enzymes and microorganisms. Surprisingly, limited information exists regarding on how the application of US results in terms of process and quality during membrane filtration of complex matrices such as liquid foods. This review highlights the recent advances in the use of US in membrane filtration processes focused in the manufacturing of foodstuffs and food ingredients, and perspectives of novel hybrid membrane-US systems that may be quite interesting for this field. The application of US in food membrane processing increases the flux, but the lack of standardization regarding to experimental conditions, make suitable comparisons impossible. In this sense, careful attention must be paid regarding to the ultrasonic intensity (UI), the membrane configuration and type of transducers and volume of the treated solution. Dairy products are the most studied application of US membrane food processing, but research has been mainly focused on flux enhancement; hitherto there have been no reports of how operational variables in these processes affect critical aspects such as quality and food safety. Also, studies performed at industrial scale and economical assessments are still missing. Application of US combined with membrane operations such as reverse osmosis (RO), forward osmosis (FO) and enzyme membrane bioreactors (EMBR) may result interesting for the production of value-added foods. In the perspective of the authors, the stagnation of the development of acoustic filtration systems in food is due more to a prejudice on this subject, rather than actual impedance due to the lack of technological development of transducers. This later has shown important advances in the last years making them suitable for tailor made applications, thus opening several research opportunities to the food engineering not yet explored.

The Effect of High-Intensity Ultrasound on the Physicochemical and Microbiological Properties of Mexican Panela Cheese. Foods 2020; 9:foods9030313. [PMID: 32182832 PMCID: PMC7142555 DOI: 10.3390/foods9030313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2020] [Revised: 03/02/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
High-intensity ultrasound could be an alternative to pasteurization for cheeses made with fresh raw milk, the properties of which must be preserved as part of their intangible cultural heritage, such as Panela cheese in Mexico. This research aimed to study the effect of the amplitude (50% and 100%) and application time (0, 5, and 10 min) of ultrasound treatment of fresh raw milk, on the yield and microbiological and physicochemical qualities of Panela cheese after 24 h of storage at 4 °C. The yield was increased to 24.29% with 10 min of ultrasonication, although the amount of exudate was higher in the ultrasonic product than in the control (20.33%). As the ultrasonication time increased, the yellowness (b*) increased significantly, while the hue angle decreased (with values close to 90°), resulting in evident yellow tones in cheeses made with milk treated for 10 min. The pH significantly increased from 6.6 to 6.74 with 5 min of ultrasound, but decreased to 6.37 with 10 min of ultrasonication. Although no significant differences were found in fat content, the protein significantly increased with 5 min of sonication, but it decreased markedly when ultrasound was applied for 10 min. Ultrasound treatment with amplitudes of 50% effectively decreased the counts of coliform bacteria regardless of ultrasonication time. However, the mesophilic bacteria increased by a 0.9 log with an amplitude of 100% and 10 min treatment. The results showed that ultrasound improved the yield and microbial, nutritional, and physicochemical properties of Panela cheese.

Abstract
Introduction: It has been established that omega 3 fatty acids have cardio-protective effects through modulation of cardiometabolic risk factors via multiple mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of flaxseed oil on anthropometric indices and lipid profile in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed in 44 patients with CAD. The subjects were randomly assigned to receive either 200 ml of 1.5% fat milk supplemented by 5 g of flaxseed oil (containing 2.5 g α-Linolenic acid) as intervention or 200 ml of 1.5% fat milk as placebo group for 10 consecutive weeks. Anthropometric indices and lipid profile were assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Results: The results indicated that supplementation with flaxseed oil had no impact on anthropometric indices. Weight, body mass index, waist circumference and hip circumference decreased statistically significant within groups, but not between groups. At the end of the intervention, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased significantly (P = 0.022) in the intervention group. Moreover, the triglyceride (TG) level decreased significantly in the intervention group from 173.45 (49.09) to 139.33 (34.26) (P < 0.001). Other lipid profile indices including total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein did not differ significantly within and between groups. Conclusion: We observed that supplementation of flaxseed oil improved TG and DBP but had no effect on other lipid profiles and anthropometric indices in patients with CAD.

Effect of ultrasound treatment on the properties of nano-emulsion films obtained from hazelnut meal protein and clove essential oil. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2018; 41:466-474.

Abstract
Hazelnut meal protein (4% (w/v)) and clove essential oil (CEO) (3% (v/v)) were homogenized with ultrasound (US) at different times (2, 4 and 6 min) and amplitudes (50, 75 and 100%) to obtain nano-emulsion films. Film forming nano-emulsions (FFNs) were analyzed for average particle size (Dz) and zeta potential, and edible film characterization were evaluated depending on US treatment, as well as antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Dz values and zeta potential of FFNs decreased with increasing acoustic energy delivered to nano-emulsion system. Thickness and water solubility of films significantly decreased with increasing US treatment. Films became more transparent depending on US treatment probably due to particle size reduction. Tensile strength (TS) of films significantly increased with US treatment, while elongation at break (EAB) slightly increased. Microstructure of films became more homogeneous after US treatment and caused to lower water vapor permeability. Enrichment with CEO has given the films antibacterial activity against L. monocytogenes, B. subtilis, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and E. coli, and antioxidant activity, and US application has improved these activities. US technology can be used to improve mechanical, barrier and antimicrobial properties of hazelnut meal protein based edible films enriched with CEO.

Ultrasound assisted synthesis of stable oil in milk emulsion: Study of operating parameters and scale-up aspects. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2018; 40:135-146.

Abstract
In the present work, application of ultrasound and stirring individually or in combination for improved emulsification of turmeric oil in skimmed milk has been investigated. The effect of different operating parameters/strategies such as addition of surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), at different concentrations, quantity of oil phase, applied power, sonication time and duty cycle on the droplet size have been investigated. The stability of emulsion was analyzed in terms of the fraction of the emulsion that remains stable for a period of 28days. Optimized set of major emulsification process variables has been used at higher emulsion volumes. The effectiveness of treatment approach was analyzed based on oil droplet size, energy density and the time required for the formation of stable emulsion. It was observed that the stable emulsion at 50mL capacity with mean droplet diameter of about 235.4nm was obtained with the surfactant concentration of 5mg/mL, 11% of rated power (power density: 0.31W/mL) and irradiation time of 5min. The emulsion stability was higher in the case of ultrasound assisted approach as compared to the stirring. For the preparation of stable emulsion at 300mL capacity, it was observed that the sequential approach, i.e., stirring followed by ultrasound, gave lower mean droplet diameter (232.6nm) than the simultaneous approach, i.e., ultrasound and stirring together (257.9nm). However, the study also revealed that the simultaneous approach required very less time (15min) to synthesize stable emulsion as compared to the sequential approach (30min stirring and 60min ultrasound). It was successfully demonstrated that the ultrasound-assisted emulsification in the presence of SDS could be used for the preparation of stable turmeric oil-dairy emulsions, also providing insights into the role of SDS in increasing the stability of emulsions and of ultrasound in giving lower droplet sizes.

Abstract
Ultrasonic processing of a variety of liquids, drinks and beverages has generated much interest with published literature papers increasing within this area in recent years. Benefits include enhanced emulsification with improved homogenization and fat globule size reduction being recorded. In dairy systems increased creaming rates are observed on sonication in a process known as fractionation. Whilst fruit juices exhibit retention or enhancement of quality parameters whilst increasing levels of bioactive compounds. Sterilization of liquids is a large feature of ultrasonic treatment with microbial activity of a range of fruit juices being monitored over time as increased stability and reduced spoilage is observed. Progress has also been made towards scale up of ultrasonic processes with several examples of batch and continuous processes being studied with reduced processing times and temperatures being quoted as a result of ultrasonic treatment. This short review covers the effect of sonication on liquids and beverages with a specific focus towards dairy and fruit juices and covers emulsification, fractionation, sterilization and some pilot scale initiatives.

Abstract
Improving the quality and nutritional aspects of food is one of the key issues for healthy life of human beings. The stability during storage is an important parameter in quality assurance of food products. Various processing techniques such as high pressure, thermal, pulsed electric field and microwave have been used to prolong the shelf-life of food products. In recent years, ultrasound technology has been found to be a potential food processing technique. The passage of ultrasound in a liquid matrix generates mechanical agitation and other physical effects due to acoustic cavitation. Owing to its importance, a number of review articles and book chapters on the applications of ultrasound in food processing have been published in recent years. This article provides an overview of recent developments in ultrasonic processing of food and dairy systems with a particular focus on functionality of food and dairy ingredients. More specifically, the use of high frequency ultrasound in fat separation from milk and viscosity modification in starch systems and the use of low frequency ultrasound in generating nutritional food emulsions, viscosity modification and encapsulation of nutrients have been highlighted. The issues associated with the development of large scale ultrasonic food processing equipment have also been briefly discussed.
