A comparative study of ultrasound and thermal processing: Effects on goat milk stability and protein structure by Xiaoxia Chen, Lusha Wei, Yazhou Mao, Aiqing Zhao, Meixue Pu, Yufang Liu, Bini Wang

“…Goat milk was subjected to ultrasound treatments (400 W for 10 min, 500 W for 10 min, and 600 W for 10 min), and untreated and heat-treated samples served as controls. The results demonstrated that ultrasonic treatment led to a more uniform distribution of fat globules and protein particles, reduced agglomeration, and fostered a more compact and ordered protein network structure. …”
