Food and Canned Goods Isostatic Pressing

 

Isostatic pressing or high pressure processing (HPP) of food, beverages or canned goods to inactivate food pathogens or destroy spoilage organisms such as bacteria or mold spores and inactivate enzymes that spoils or brown food. Isostatic processing of foods is accomplished at lower temperatures than heat pasteurization, which preserve food flavor, quality, and extend shelf life. High pressure processing can also germinate certain bacterial spores, assist in marinating meats, shuck oysters or separate shellfish, and promote cheese ripening.

Products & Services
High Pressure Processing Services
High pressure processing (HPP) is used to treat foods, beverages, proteins, enzymes, and potentially other bioactive materials such as pharmaceuticals. HPP inactivates or destroys food pathogens and spoilage organisms such as bacteria or mold spores.
High Pressure Processing Equipment
High pressure processing equipment is used to treat foods, beverages, proteins, enzymes, and other bioactive materials.
Cold Isostatic Pressing Services
Cold isostatic pressing services apply extremely high pressures using cold isostatic pressing (CIP) or similar technologies to sterilize products or cold compact powders.
Isostatic Presses
Isostatic presses are used for compressing powdered materials into shaped pre-forms or general products. There are two main types of isostatic presses; cold isostatic presses (CIP) that function at room temperature and hot isostatic presses (HIP) that function at elevated temperatures.
Food and Beverage Gases
Food and beverage gases meet stringent quality controls for their implementation as food ingredients or as a food contact substance.
