Book cover Sonocrystallization of Fats

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Food, Health, and Nutrition ((BRIEFSFOOD))

Abstract

Sound is a waveform that propagates away from a source in an elastic media generating density variations. The generation and perception of sound is a consequence of the transmission of mechanical energy through the media.
