Ultrasound technology represents an improvement in pericarp removal and water absorption.
Ultrasound treatment reduced the processing time compared with traditional or industrial nixtamalization.
-
Fick's model satisfactorily predicted water absorption during nixtamalization with and without ultrasound.
