High-Pressure Processing
High-pressure processing (HPP) is a technology that uses very high hydrostatic pressure (up to 100,000 lb/in2) to kill most pathogens and spoilage organisms in packaged foods. Applications include several food types. Fruits and vegetables such as avocado products, salsas, chopped onions, applesauce, ready-to eat meats, and juices can all be processed in bulk or in consumer packaging.
