Molecular Level Pulverization of Agricultural, Forestry and Fishery Products by Ultrasonic Waves 2024/6/24
The success of ultrasound-induced low molecular weight reduction of organic ultra-high molecular weight hyaluronic acid means that it is now possible to use ultrasound to micronize various plants to the μm level. In addition to extracting cellulose and nanocellulose from coniferous forests such as cedar, corn stalks, and bagasse (sugarcane pomace), it is clear that various food materials can be reduced in molecular weight and micronized by ultrasound.
However, if the target food (plant material) is made up of a delicate balance of very complex trace elements, ultrasonic waves may have the opposite effect of the intended use, destroying the active substances or generating toxic substances. Therefore, the target plants may be relatively limited.
Bluestar R&D will continue its development research in this area.
