Abstract:
A method of producing a denatured pea protein solution comprises the steps of mixing pea protein with an alkali solvent to provide a 1-10% pea protein solution (w/v) having a pH of at least 10, resting the pea protein solution for at least 15 minutes, heating the pea protein solution under conditions sufficient to heat-denature the pea protein without causing gelation of the pea protein solution, and rapidly cooling the denatured pea protein solution to prevent gelation, wherein at least 90% of the pea protein in the denatured pea protein solution is soluble. Also described is a method of producing microparticles having a denatured pea protein matrix, the method comprising the steps of providing a denatured pea protein solution according to the invention, treating the denatured pea protein solution to form microdroplets; and cross-linking and chelating the droplets to form microparticles.
Abstract:
The embodiment relates to the convenient amateur creation of a beverage where the extraction of flavor into a solvent is obtained using ultrasound. Where the solvent and solute are held in a removable carafe which has an ultrasound transducer. A control system will trigger ultrasound into the solvent for specific durations in order to quickly create the desired outcome. The use of one or more computers that will be able to implement a recipe, control the machine, and interact with the user ensure that the end user is able to operate the machine easily.
Abstract:

Abstract:
In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to utilizing a sonication probe. In some embodiments, there is provided a rice cooker utilizing a sonication probe to cook rice including a rice cooker housing; a pH sensor; a temperature sensor; a viscosity sensor; a sonication probe; and a control circuit configured to control an operation of the sonication probe that causes the sonication probe to stop emitting one or more sound waves to substantially halt breakdown of amylose of the rice based on a pH value, a temperature value, and a viscosity value associated with the rice.
Abstract:
A method for producing a clean-tasting, neutral-color, concentrated, liquid protein base including separating fibrous material from the protein base. The method further includes applying ultrasonication to the protein base at an ultrasonication unit according to ultrasonication settings. The ultrasonication settings are adapted to cause acoustic cavitation within the protein base. The method further includes filtering the protein base through one or more membrane filters after separating the fibrous material from the protein base. The method further includes processing the protein base to form a protein ingredient. In certain cases, the method further includes processing the separated fibrous material to produce a dietary fiber. Processing the fibrous material includes converting gelatinized starch from the separated fibrous material into resistant starch.
Abstract:
A dispensing nozzle comprising an ultrasound emitter is disclosed. A wall of the ultrasound emitter defines a channel. The ultrasound emitter comprises an inlet, a top and a bottom. The bottom of the ultrasound emitter may comprise a conical outlet. The conical outlet comprises an outer diameter that decreases in size in a direction towards an outlet opening defined by the conical outlet. The channel may extend from the inlet to the conical outlet. The dispensing nozzle further comprises a tube. The tube may be configured to deliver free-flowing material to the inlet. The ultrasound emitter may be configured to deliver ultrasound waves to free-flowing material flowing through channel. The ultrasound emitter may be configured to induce cavitation in free-flowing material passing through the conical outlet. The cavitation may be sufficient to destroy microorganisms and reduce microbial contamination of the free-flowing material dispensed from the dispensing nozzle.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for increasing the content of nutraceuticals and antioxidant capacity of perishable fruits, by combining irradiation with ultraviolet light (UV-C) and storage at freezing temperatures in different presentations. According to the invention, it is possible to increase the concentration of flavonoids, such as phenols and anthocyanins, and also the antioxidant capacity of strawberry fruits (Fragaria x ananassa). The main objective of the present invention is to improve the postharvest quality of fruits, particularly strawberry, by stimulating strawberry fruits with different doses of UV light and different temperatures.

Abstract:
A method of extracting recovering oil from vegetable material in which oil bearing material is heated and subjected to sonication at least one frequency above 400 kHz, removing a first yield of oil by decanting and subjecting the retained material to centrifugal separation to separate out a second yield of oil. Preferably the raw vegetable material is passed through a screw press and the obtained material is heated and subjected to the ultrasonic treatment and then allowed to settle for a predetermined period before decanting the oil layer. Preferably two frequencies above 400 kHz are used, one below 1 MHz and the second from 1 MHz. There are many potential transducers arrangements possible for producing standing waves.
