HPTP is an innovative in-pack process suitable for making shelf-stable products using far less heat compared to conventional in-pack sterilization methods such as retort

About

Hiperbaric is the global leading supplier of High-Pressure Processing (HPP) equipment for the food and beverage industry. With 25 years of experience, we have set more than 390 installations in the world, being North America our first market, with Europe and Asia following. Our HPP technology is a method of food and beverage preservation that uses water pressure, rather than heat, to eliminate harmful and spoilage microorganisms. Our latest innovation combines high pressure and heat in a process called High Pressure Thermal Processing (HPTP), which delivers increased lethality and allows the development of shelf-stable products.

Key Benefits

  • Volumetric process that removes heat gradients and overheating.
  • In-pack process applied to already packaged products that removes the need for aseptic filling.
  • Faster process compared to conventional retort sterilization.
  • Reduced thermal load compared to in-pack retort.
  • Reduced formation of heat-degradation compounds (e.g. furan, acrylamide...)

Applications

  • Baby food
  • Ready meals
  • Plant-based dairy alternatives
  • Wet snacks
