HPP is an efficient
alternative technique that involves applying very high pressures
(100e1000 MPa) at below 0 C to over 100 C for a short time (a few
seconds to 20 min) to the packaged food in order to eliminate
harmful pathogens and the microorganisms responsible for vegetative
spoilage, and to inactivate enzymes, with minimal modifications
in nutritional and sensory quality
