High Pressure Processing - extends shelf life

Sieh Ng (Food Microbiologist, CSIRO Agriculture and Food)
High Pressure Processing is a non-thermal process that can extend the shelf life of a wider range of food and provide improved product safety and quality. HPP uses high pressure to destroy food-borne pathogens by disrupting cellular activity.
