Pressure-Based Technologies: High Pressure Processing; Supercritical and Subcritical Fluid Processing

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Pressure based technologies are a major sub-group of novel and alternative techniques that can be used for the processing and preservation of biomaterials. Such technologies utilize, at least partially, the effect of pressure on the physical properties to obtain microbial inactivation, enzymatic (de)activation, extraction, or other required effects. The current chapter will describe the underlying principles of such technologies and how the utilization of pressure as an additional thermodynamic parameter to temperature enhances the range of processing possibilities. The chapter will also discuss the limitations of such technologies when applied to the complexity of agri-food-bio materials.
