This review focuses on the many contributions of ultrasound technologies for fruit drying toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Along this review, several aspects attained from the application of ultrasound technologies are correlated with the SDGs. The main ultrasonic technologies applied for fruit drying, such as ultrasonic bath, probe ultrasound, air-borne ultrasound air-drying, and ultrasound-assisted contact air-drying, are presented. An in-depth discussion on ultrasound contributions, its advantages, disadvantages, and limitations are made. The effects of ultrasound on water diffusivity in several fruits are presented by correlating this effect with drying time and cost of energy. Ultrasound-assisted fruit drying, like other food processing technologies, directly impacts Zero Hunger, but ultrasound technologies contribute to much more than delivering long shelf-life food. This technology can be used to produce healthy foods and provide well-being, which will be discussed by correlating the effects of ultrasound-assisted air-drying with the concentration of nutritional compounds. Ultrasound-assisted fruit drying reduces wastewater toxicity and energy consumption and improves productivity, potentially improving workplaces and salaries. A walk through the technology is presented from Zero Hunger to No Poverty.
这篇综述重点介绍了超声技术在水果干燥方面为联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）做出的诸多贡献。在综述过程中，将超声技术应用的几个方面与可持续发展目标联系起来。介绍了应用于水果干燥的主要超声技术，如超声浴、探头超声、空气传播超声空气干燥和超声辅助接触空气干燥。深入讨论了超声的贡献、优点、缺点和局限性。通过将这种效果与干燥时间和能源成本相关联，给出了超声对几种水果中水分扩散率的影响。超声辅助水果干燥与其他食品加工技术一样，直接影响零饥饿，但超声技术的贡献远不止提供长保质期的食品。通过将超声辅助空气干燥的效果与营养化合物的浓度相关联，可以讨论该技术在生产健康食品和提供幸福感方面的应用。超声辅助水果干燥可以降低废水毒性和能耗，提高生产力，从而有可能改善工作场所和工资。本文将从零饥饿到无贫困的角度，对该技术进行综述。
