Proteins from alternative sources including terrestrial and aquatic plants, microbes and insects are being increasingly explored to combat the dietary, environmental and ethical challenges linked primarily to conventional sources of protein, mainly meat and dairy proteins. Ultrasound (US) technologies have emerged as a clean, green and efficient methods for the extraction of proteins from alternative sources compared to conventional methods. However, the application of US can also lead to modifications of the proteins extracted from alternative sources, including changes in their nutritional quality (protein content, amino acid composition, protein digestibility, anti-nutritional factors) and allergenicity, as well as damage of the compounds associated with an increased degradation resulting from extreme US processing conditions. This work aims to summarise the main advances in US equipment currently available to date, including the main US parameters and their effects on the extraction of protein from alternative sources, as well as the studies available on the effects of US processing on the nutritional value, allergenicity and degradation damage of these alternative protein ingredients. The main research gaps identified in this work and future challenges associated to the widespread application of US and their scale-up to industry operations are also covered in detail.

人们越来越多地探索来自替代来源（包括陆生和水生植物、微生物和昆虫）的蛋白质，以应对主要与传统蛋白质来源（主要是肉类和乳制品蛋白质）相关的饮食、环境和伦理挑战。与传统方法相比，超声波（美国）技术已成为一种清洁、绿色和高效的方法，用于从替代来源中提取蛋白质。然而，US 的应用也会导致从替代来源提取的蛋白质发生修饰，包括其营养质量（蛋白质含量、氨基酸组成、蛋白质消化率、抗营养因子）和致敏性的变化，以及对蛋白质的损害。与美国极端加工条件导致的降解增加相关的化合物。这项工作旨在总结迄今为止美国设备的主要进展，包括美国的主要参数及其对从替代来源提取蛋白质的影响，以及有关美国加工对营养价值影响的研究，这些替代蛋白质成分的过敏性和降解损害。还详细介绍了这项工作中发现的主要研究差距以及与 US 的广泛应用及其扩大到行业运营相关的未来挑战。这些替代蛋白质成分的过敏性和降解损害。还详细介绍了这项工作中发现的主要研究差距以及与 US 的广泛应用及其扩大到行业运营相关的未来挑战。这些替代蛋白质成分的过敏性和降解损害。还详细介绍了这项工作中发现的主要研究差距以及与 US 的广泛应用及其扩大到行业运营相关的未来挑战。
