Popis: A one-directional modelling method for the assessment of the influence of power ultrasound (US) (4–19 W cm−2, 25–40 min) on NaCl diffusion in pork is presented. In doing so, the mechanistic actions of US salting in meat are elucidated. Temperature controls (4–21 °C) were generated according to each US treatment. NaCl concentration profiles were fitted to Fick’s second law, generating the effective NaCl diffusion coefficient (Dseff). Dseff ranged from 1.34 × 10−10 to 4.01 × 10−10 m2 s−1, which is in agreement with the literature. The average Dseff was higher at increased temperature (p
