Ultrasonic treatment: A cohort review on bioactive compounds, allergens and physico-chemical properties of food

Azza Silotry Naik et al. Curr Res Food Sci. .

Abstract

Implementation of ultrasonic for the extraction of bioactive compounds and retention of physico-chemical properties is an important technology. This technology applies physical and chemical phenomena for the extraction of compounds. Ultrasonic assisted extraction causes less damaging effect on quality properties of food as compared to the conventional extraction technique. The present review article focuses on the degradation of various bioactive compounds as a result of ultra-sonication which include vitamins, carotenoids and phenolic compounds. This review article also discusses the influence of ultrasonic extraction on the physico-chemical properties of extracted food products. In addition, the paper explores the effect of ultrasonication on food allergenicity through changes in solubility, hydrophobicity, molecular weight as well as conformational changes of the allergens, a direct result of increase in temperature and pressure during cavitation process.

Keywords: Allergen; Bioactive compounds; Food quality; Non thermal extraction; Ultrasonic.
