Benefits of High Pressure Processing

High Pressure Processing (HPP) is a cold pasteurization process that destroys bacteria using pressure. Packaged food products can achieve a longer shelf life with HPP, thus reducing the need to use artificial ingredients or additives to extend shelf life. 73% of US consumers agree it is important that ingredients on a food label are known entities and would be used at home.1

Requirements

The package must be able to survive up to 87,000 pounds per square inch (PSI in a water filled pressure chamber. A robust container, strong seal, and minimal headspace are all important criteria to consider when selecting a package to support HPP. It is important to test the package with a specific type of food in it and specific sealing parameters prior to use.
