Use of ultrasound technology for food waste breakdown Chapter uri icon

abstract

  • Ultrasound technology use is a promising strategy for the exploitation of food waste by inducing structural changes on food matrices, favoring their decomposition. In this chapter we will be describing selected experimental methodologies that allow us to prove the influence of ultrasound on the waste decomposition, inducing its reduction and revaluation as a substrate to other applications. The conditions and recommendations of proposed method are also described. Our work aims to encourage the reader about the advantages of using ultrasound to minimize environmental and economic impact generated by food waste.
