In order to minimize loss of quality and find out an alternative to
heat treatments for long shelf-life products, a great interest has been
given to ultra high pressure homogenization (UHPH). UHPH is an
emerging technology which combines high pressure with minimal temperature effect during processing. In addition, it produces fine and stable emulsions, and depending on UHPH conditions applied to foods,
microbial and enzymatic inactivation may be compared to some thermal treatments
