Mechanistic investigations in ultrasound assisted food processing

Abstract

This thesis has addressed important fundamental issues in ultrasound assisted food processing of liquid systems An attempt has been made for intensification of product yield by application of sonication to the conventional food processing techniques Three food processes viz extraction astaxanthin from Phaffia rhodozyma fermentation riboflavin from Debaryomyces hansenii var hansenii and crystallization lactose monohydrate were studied in this thesis work Previous literature has alr...
