TECHNOLOGY
HPP Ultra High Pressure Sterilization
High-Pressure Low-temperature Sterilization
(High-Pressure Processing, HPP)01.
HPP Technology Principle
- Non-thermal sterilization that applies physical pressure to remove microorganisms while maintaining food freshness.
High-pressure generation
Product in package is placed in vessel, filled with water, and held at 400–600 MPa
Pressure transfer / microbial inactivation
Uniform pressure deforms cell membranes and structure, inactivating microorganisms
Food quality retention
Low temperature and pressure control microbes and enzymes while preserving taste, aroma, color, and nutrients
