Description
Rina Yu and colleagues review, in 2026, ultrasound as a way to pasteurize milk and milk drinks without relying only on heat. Milk spoils easily and can carry dangerous germs, so treatment is essential. Sound waves create tiny collapsing bubbles that can damage microbes through physical and chemical effects.
How well it works depends heavily on the machine setup and on how much heat builds up during treatment. The review compares sound alone, sound with its natural warming, and sound paired with added heat. It also covers how microbes are killed, what regulators require and what blocks factory use. The authors aim to guide safer, better tuned systems for the dairy industry.
