High-pressure treatment of food: two examples of transfers.

Traitement haute pression des produits alimentaires : deux exemples de transferts.

Type of article: Periodical article

Summary

The article first describes a process consisting in cutting up frozen food with a continually operating high-pressure water jet, which is computer-controlled and guided automatically as a function of desired piece size and of composition of the piece to be cut. The second example is a very-high-pressure (200 to 900 megapascals) food-preservation process, whose effects on molecular equilibrium, water, ice, proteins and microorganisms are described. The devices are described as well as tests and results.
