In the simplest terms, sonication uses sound waves to accelerate the aging of a product. This 100% natural process uses a frequency so high it's undetected by the human ear and actually causes physical changes to a product. Sonication, also known as ultrasonication (>20Khz) applies sound energy to mechanically cavitate and agitate particles in a sample. This extracts flavors, phenolics, and colorants in the solution, and transforms a young product into a desirable flavor, mouthfeel, and aroma. This process has been scientifically proven to cause the same aromatic and flavor-based changes in seconds that normally occur in years, and has been used for almost a century. As technology becomes more affordable, smaller manufacturers can now incorporate this technology to save, time, money, and space, as well as increase the creativity and craft of their product.
