High pressure processing is a food preservation technique where products are placed in flexible packaging and subjected to extremely high pressure, usually around 87,000-110,000 psi. This non-thermal process inactivates microorganisms and enzymes to sterilize foods while maintaining taste and nutrition. Common foods treated include meats, seafood, fruits, vegetables, and dairy. The process involves placing packaged foods in a pressure chamber filled with water and applying pressure for a short time, usually 3-5 minutes. This kills bacteria and pathogens without using heat or chemicals.

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). hy high pressure processing is required?
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 Diagram of the HHP equipment Present range of pressures available
