Ultrason Sonochem. 2024 Apr 23;106:106885. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106885. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis research designed and developed an ultrasonic reactor for a fast and on demand production of cold brew coffee, remarkably reducing the brewing time from 24 h to less than 3 min. The technology was engineered by utilizing resonance to induce ultrasonic waves around the walls of the brewing basket of an espresso machine. The sound transmission system comprised a transducer, a horn and a brewing basket. This arrangement transformed the coffee basket into an effective sonoreactor that injected sound waves at multi...

Ferrous sulfate combined with ultrasound emulsified cinnamaldehyde nanoemulsion to cause ferroptosis in Escherichia coli O157:H7
Ultrason Sonochem. 2024 Apr 20;106:106884. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106884. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to investigate ferroptosis in Escherichia coli O157:H7 caused by ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) and to examine the synergistic effectiveness of FeSO4 combined with ultrasound-emulsified cinnamaldehyde nanoemulsion (CALNO) on inactivation of E. coli O157:H7 in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that FeSO4 could cause ferroptosis in E. coli O157:H7 via generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and exacerbating lipid peroxidation. In addition, the results indicated that FeSO4 combined with CAL...

Investigating the impact of ultrasound-assisted cellulase pretreatment on the nutrients, phytic acid, and phenolics bioaccessibility in sprouted brown rice
This study aimed to elucidate the impact of ultrasound-assisted cellulase (UC) pretreatment on nutrients, phytic acid, and the bioavailability of phenolics during brown rice sprouting. It sought to unveil the underlying mechanisms by quantifying the activity of key enzymes implicated in these processes. The sprouted brown rice (SBR) surface structure was harmed by the UC pretreatment, which also increased the amount of γ-oryzanol and antioxidant activity in the SBR. Concurrently, the UC pretreatment boosted the activity of phytase, glutamate decarboxylase, succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase, Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GAB...

Application of ionic liquid ultrasound-assisted extraction (IL-UAE) of lycopene from guava (Psidium guajava L.) by response surface methodology and artificial neural network-genetic algorithm
In this study, we evaluated various ionic liquids to identify the most effective one for extracting lycopene from guava. Among thirteen ionic liquids with varying carbon chains or anions, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride demonstrated the highest productivity. Subsequently, a single-factor experiment was employed to test the impact of several parameters on the efficiency of lycopene extraction using this selected ionic liquid. These parameters included extraction time, ultrasonic power, liquid-solid ratio, concentration of the ionic liquid, as well as material particle size. Moreover, models of artificial neural network...

Increasing efficiency and treatment volumes for sonolysis of per- and poly-fluorinated substances, applied to aqueous film-forming foam
Ultrason Sonochem. 2024 Apr 1;105:106866. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106866. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSonolysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has recently matured to field studies, treating real world contamination. However, efficient sonolysis reactor designs are poorly researched. Moreover, the variety and complexity of PFAS pollution slows reactor optimisation and scale-up. In this work, the defluorination of 10.0 mg/L aqueous perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) was used as a model metric for the optimisation of; reactor volume (0.6 or 1.4 L), power density (100 - 350 W L-1), number of modular re...
