Moreover, the estimated septicemia risk would drop from an unacceptable 4932 cases per 100 million consumption events
to less than 4 incidents even for the mildest HPP treatment analyzed in this study (250 MPa, 2 min, 1 C, Table 5). In addition, over-processing could be minimized by selecting this least-severe HPP treatment at a lower processing cost and yielding a higher expected sensorial quality as compared to the 4 and 6 min treatments at the same pressure and temperature levels.
