Abstract：
Fruits and vegetables (F&V) are a significant part of our diet consumption. Microbial and pesticide residues are the predominant safety hazards of F&V consumption. Ordinary water washing has a very limited effect on removing microorganisms and pesticide residues and requires high water usage. Ultrasound, as an environmentally friendly technology, shows excellent potential for reducing microbial contamination and pesticide residue. This paper summarizes the research on ultrasound application in F&V washing, including the removal of microbial and pesticide residues and the comprehensive effect on their physicochemical characteristics. Furthermore, multimode ultrasonic-assisted techniques like multi-frequency and sequential ultrasound, combined with novel and conventional methods, can enhance the ultrasound-based effect and be more effective and sustainable in preventing F&V from microbial contamination. Overall, this work explicitly establishes the background on the potential for ultrasound cleaning and disinfection in the food industry as a green, effective, and ultimate method of preventing foodborne illnesses.
摘要：
水果和蔬菜（F＆V）是我们饮食消费的重要组成部分。微生物和农药残留是F＆V消费的主要安全隐患。普通水洗对去除微生物和农药残留的效果非常有限，需要高用水量。超声波,作为一种环保技术，显示出减少微生物污染和农药残留的极好潜力。本文综述了超声在F&V洗涤中的应用研究,包括微生物和农药残留的去除以及对其理化特性的综合影响。此外，多模超声辅助技术，如多频和序贯超声，结合新颖和常规的方法，可以增强基于超声的效果，并且在防止微生物污染的F＆V方面更有效和可持续。总的来说,这项工作明确地确立了在食品工业中超声波清洗和消毒作为绿色的潜力的背景，有效,以及预防食源性疾病的最终方法。
