Ultrasonics in cell rupturing with respect to the palm oil milling process
CHOW Mee ChinOil cell rupturing by ultrasonics is found to be highly efficient under certain conditions.. However, the simultaneous emulsification of oil will impose difficulty in oil separation and recovery. Optimum condition for cell rupturing were found to be at a cell concentration of less than 10% (w/w) with a power output of greater than 200 watts or at least 2 minutes.
