High-Pressure Processing (HPP) is an advanced food preservation technology that helps extend the shelf life of food while maintaining its freshness, taste, and nutritional value. This non-thermal process uses high-pressure water to inactivate harmful pathogens and microorganisms, ensuring food safety without the need for preservatives.
1. What is the Pressure Range for HPP?
High-Pressure Processing (HPP) is an advanced food preservation technology that helps extend the shelf life of food while maintaining its freshness, taste, and nutritional value. This non-thermal process uses high-pressure water to inactivate harmful pathogens and microorganisms, ensuring food safety without the need for preservatives.
HPP operates at extremely high pressure, typically ranging between:
300 MPa (megapascals) to 600 MPa
Equivalent to 43,500 - 87,000 psi (pounds per square inch)
Most commercial HPP food processing machines operate within 400 MPa to 600 MPa to effectively eliminate bacteria such as Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli while preserving the texture, color, and nutrients of food products.
HPP is widely used in industries like:
Juices and beverages
Meat and poultry
Seafood
Dairy products
Ready-to-eat meals
This technology is a safe and sustainable alternative to traditional pasteurization, making it highly valuable in today’s food processing industry.
