Ultrasound technology and tomato industry: A review.
Review in Ultrasonics sonochemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Recent research emphasizes the potential of ultrasound technology in the food industry, particularly in tomato processing. Ultrasound's non-invasive nature has made it a preferred choice for researchers seeking extraction and cavitation power without significantly altering sample properties. The concept of waste valorization, which involves transforming waste materials into valuable resources, is gaining traction worldwide as it helps reduce carbon footprints and pollution. Tomato processing yields significant waste, such as peels and seeds, which contain high levels of antioxidants and fiber, making them valuable resources for the food industry. This review examines the diverse applications of ultrasound technology in the tomato industry, focusing on its effects on the extraction of bioactive compounds, inhibition of microbial growth, enhancement of tomato germination, and removal of agrochemicals. Findings show that ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) increases yields of pectin and lycopene by 34-77% compared to conventional methods, reduces pesticide residues by up to 97%, and enhances germination rates by up to 43% when combined with technologies like plasma-activated water or ozone. Ultrasound significantly reduces bacteria, phytoviruses, yeasts, and molds, with reductions of 1.5-3.4 log CFU/g in tomato products. However, ultrasound treatment may affect seedling vigor due to reactive oxygen species generation. Further research is needed to optimize ultrasound parameters for diverse crops and integrate it with emerging technologies to maximize industrial scalability.
