The handling, treatment and, in particular, preservation of food is of enormous importance to quality of life. High Pressure Processing (HPP) of food offers an alternative to traditional preservation processes with the great advantage that important product properties like taste and nutritional value are altered very little.
Advantages of the HPP process
- Food safety
- Processing in final packaging
- No thermal damage to the product
- Minimal effect on flavour and vitamin content
- Homogeneous treatment of the product
- Addition of preservatives not required
- New food design options
