Ultrasound-assisted lye peeling of peach and comparison with conventional methods

Traditional peeling methods especially LP not only led to excessive loss of pulp but also damaged the environment to a great extent. Ultrasound as a green technology enhanced mass transfer and heat transfer, further promoting the efficiency of peeling process. In this study, ULP showed higher peeling performance with reduced peeling time, and the peaches quality was guaranteed, demonstrating the potential of ULP as an alternative to conventional peach peeling methods.
