Editing Cavitation (section)

=== Food and beverage ===

==== Eggs ====
Cavitation has been applied to egg pasteurization. A hole-filled rotor produces cavitation bubbles, heating the liquid from within. Equipment surfaces stay cooler than the passing liquid, so eggs do not harden as they did on the hot surfaces of older equipment. The intensity of cavitation can be adjusted, making it possible to tune the process for minimum protein damage.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2017/12/11/569467444/how-the-food-industry-uses-cavitation-the-oceans-most-powerful-punch|title=How The Food Industry Uses Cavitation, The Ocean's Most Powerful Punch |work=NPR|access-date=2017-12-13}}</ref>

==== Vegetable oil production ====
Cavitation has been applied to vegetable oil degumming and refining since 2011 and is considered a proven and standard technology in this application. The implementation of hydrodynamic cavitation in the degumming and refining process allows for a significant reduction in process aid, such as chemicals, water and bleaching clay, use.<ref>{{cite web |title=Application of Controlled Flow Cavitation in Oil & Fats Processing |url=https://lacongress.aocs.org/Documents/Meetings/LACongress/Presentations/Litle.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220515081007/https://lacongress.aocs.org/Documents/Meetings/LACongress/Presentations/Litle.pdf |archive-date=2022-05-15 |url-status=live |access-date=2022-05-19 |publisher=arisdyne systems}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://patents.justia.com/patent/10968414|title=US Patent for Methods for reducing soap formation during vegetable oil refining Patent (Patent # 10,968,414 issued April 6, 2021) - Justia Patents Search|website=patents.justia.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://patents.justia.com/patent/10344246|title=US Patent for Oil degumming systems Patent (Patent # 10,344,246 issued July 9, 2019) - Justia Patents Search|website=patents.justia.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://patents.justia.com/patent/9845442|title=US Patent for Method for degumming vegetable oil Patent (Patent # 9,845,442 issued December 19, 2017) - Justia Patents Search|website=patents.justia.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://patents.justia.com/patent/9765279|title=US Patent for Method for reducing neutral oil losses during neutralization step Patent (Patent # 9,765,279 issued September 19, 2017) - Justia Patents Search|website=patents.justia.com}}</ref>
