High hydrostatic pressure processing of tropical fruits

Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2010 Feb:1189:6-15. doi: 10.1111/j.1749-6632.2009.05177.x.

Abstract

Interest in the nonthermal method of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) for food preservation has increased recently due to the possibility of inactivating microorganisms and enzymes while maintaining product sensorial and nutritional properties. This work deals with HHP use for the preservation of tropical fruit products. HHP is shown to be a practical approach to obtaining high-quality tropical fruit products that are both nutritive and safe.
