Harnessing Acoustic Cavitation Energy for the Selective Degradation of Impurities in Glucose Syrup

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The energy released during the implosion of acoustic cavitation bubbles can be harnessed and selectively transferred to a target solute, enabling its specific decomposition without degrading other solutes present in the solution. This proof of concept was demonstrated in the degradation of impurities present in trace amount in glucose syrup.
