Extraction of tiger nut oil using ultrasound-assisted immiscible binary solvents and its effect on the quality of extracted oil and starch Ultrason. Sonochem. (IF 8.7) Pub Date : 2024-12-09 Zhi-cheng Li, Zhen-shan Zhang, Ying Xia, Jin-tao Han, Hua-zhang Chang, Hui-min Wang
Tiger nuts are rich in both oil and starch. In this paper, an immiscible binary solvent consisted of water and hexane was used to separate oil and starch from tiger nut with the assistance of ultrasound. The effects of various factors including ultrasonic power, ultrasonic time, extraction temperature, water-hexane ratio and solid–liquid ratio on the oil yield were examined. The oil and starch obtained

Exploring ultrasound-induced free radical formation: A comparative study in water and sour cherry juice using glutathione and terephthalic acid indicators Ultrason. Sonochem. (IF 8.7) Pub Date : 2024-12-09 Nursena Aktı, Semanur Yildiz
This study aims to assess free radical (FR) generation potential of ultrasound in water and sour cherry juice (SCJ) model systems using an indirect method with specific indicators including glutathione (GSH), a well-known antioxidant, and terephthalic acid (TPA), which fluoresces upon oxidation. Initially, aqueous GSH solutions were subjected to ultrasound at varying amplitudes (60 % and 80 %) for

Micro-jet formation induced by the interaction of a spherical and toroidal cavitation bubble Ultrason. Sonochem. (IF 8.7) Pub Date : 2024-12-06 Jaka Mur, Alexander Bußmann, Thomas Paula, Stefan Adami, Nikolaus A. Adams, Rok Petkovsek, Claus-Dieter Ohl
We investigate experimentally and numerically the interaction between a spherical cavitation bubble and a wall-bounded toroidal cavitation bubble. We demonstrate that shock wave focusing following toroidal bubble initiation induces the formation of micro-jets that pierce the spherical bubble in the torus-axis direction away from the surface, strongest in the anti-phase scenario. The velocity of micro-jets
