Consumer demand for improved-quality and fresh-like food products have led to the development of new non-thermal preservation methods. High pressure processing (HPP) is currently the novel non-thermal technology best established in the food processing industry. However, many potential HPP applications would require long treatment times to ensure an adequate inactivation...
High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is the most-widely adopted novel non-thermal technology for the commercial pasteurization of foods. However, HHP-induced inactivation of bacterial spores remains a challenge due their resistance to the treatment limits of currently available industrial HHP units (i.e., ~650 MPa and 50°C). Several reports have demonstrated that high...
