Getting Started With High Pressure Pasteurization (HPP)

What is HPP and how can it benefit my product?

High Pressure Pasteurization is a type of packaging that uses pressure to preserve food and other perishable items. This technique has been used for decades and is still widely used today. It’s particularly useful for products that require a longer shelf life or for those that need to be transported over long distances. In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at High Pressure Pasteurization and how it works, the benefits of using it, and the equipment you’ll need to get started.

Understanding High Pressure Pasteurization

High Pressure Pasteurization, also known as High Pressure Pasteurization (HPP), is a technique that uses pressure to preserve food and other products. The process involves placing the product in a container, which is then filled with water. The container is then subjected to high levels of pressure, typically between 5,000 and 87,000 pounds per square inch (psi), for a period of time.

The high pressure destroys bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, while also preserving the product’s flavor, texture, and nutritional value. This makes it an ideal method for preserving fresh foods, such as meats, fruits, and vegetables.

Benefits of High Pressure Pasteurization

• Longer shelf life: Products that have been high pressure packaged have a longer shelf life, which means they can be stored for longer periods of time.
• Preserves nutritional value: Unlike other preservation methods, High Pressure Pasteurization preserves the nutritional value of the product, making it a healthier option.
• Enhanced safety: High Pressure Pasteurization destroys bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, which makes the product safer to consume.
• Improved taste and texture: High Pressure Pasteurization preserves the taste and texture of the product, making it more appealing to consumers.
