Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method and an equipment for the extraction of compounds from grapes by means of ultrasound in vinification processes generated through a sonoplate coupled to the walls of the pipe/duct through which the crushed grapes flow. During this extraction the transfer of phenols responsible for color from the solid portion (skin) to the liquid portion after crushing the grapes takes place as a consequence of the phenomenon known as cavitation, which allows the breaking of the skin cells and makes the phenolic compounds responsible for the color available to the liquid medium to be integrated in said liquid medium enhancing wine color.

Claim (Index 1):
An ultrasound equipment for the extraction of compounds from crushed grapes in vinification processes comprising:\n a conduit through which the crushed grapes flow; at least one generator configured for transmitting electric energy coupled to an outside of the conduit; at least one sonoplate connected to the conduit for receiving energy and configured to directly transmit ultrasound to the crushed grapes which flow through a hexagonal pipe narrowed at its ends, without contact between the crushed grapes and the sonoplate; and at least one sonoplate arranged on each side of said hexagonal pipe, wherein a module develops a power density between 0.1 W/cm 3  and 500 W/cm 3 , a power comprised between 2 kW-10 kW and a working frequency ranging between 15 and 35 kHz.
