HIGH

HYDROSTATIC
PRESSURE
PROCESSING
IN FOOD INDUSTRY
Hydrostatic Pressure : Description

à Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure which is


exerted on a portion of a column of water as a
result of the weight of the fluid above it.

à Hydrostatic pressure is what is exerted by a


liquid when it is at rest. The height of a liquid
column of uniform density is directly proportional
to the hydrostatic pressure.

à Hydrostatic Pressure (Pa, N/m2) = Height (m) x


Density(kg/m3) x Gravity(m/s2)
High hydrostatic pressure
processing : Description
m High pressure processing (HPP), is a method
of preserving and sterilizing food, in which a
product is processed under very high pressure,
leading to the inactivation of certain
microorganisms and enzymes in the food.

m Also known as Pascalization.

m High Pressures applied at short periods of


time(15 minutes).

High Pressure Processing :
Process Mechanism
àIn a typical HPP process, the product is packaged
in a flexible container (usually a pouch or plastic
bottle) and is loaded into a high pressure
chamber filled with a pressure-transmitting
(hydraulic) fluid.
à The hydraulic fluid (normally water) in the
chamber is pressurized
à Pressure is applied for a specific time, usually 3
to 5 minutes.
à The processed product is then removed and
stored/distributed in the conventional manner
