The ultrasound-assisted approach is considered to be a novel and environmentally friendly green technique, giving a significant degree of intensification.<!-- Article source: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/300957039_Use_of_Ultrasound_for_Pretreatment_of_Biomass_and_Subsequent_Hydrolysis_and_Fermentation --> | ||

During the ultrasonication treatment ultrasound is transmitted through any physical medium by waves that compress and stretch the molecular spacing of the medium through which it passes<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|author=Hugo Miguel Santos, Carlos Lodeiro, and José-Luis Capelo-Martínez|year=2008|section_title=The Power of Ultrasound|editor=José-Luis Capelo-Martínez|book_title=Ultrasound in Chemistry: Analytical Applications|publisher=Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
