A guided ultrasound project, backed by New Mexico State University’s Center of Excellence in Sustainable Foods and Agricultural Systems and led by Sergio Martinez-Monteagudo, explores ways to improve energy efficiency in food processing. It focuses on evaporation, one of the most energy-intensive and least visible steps in food manufacturing.
