HPP Makers To Educate the Masses

摘要

If alliances between competitors are a sign of maturity, then high-pressure processing (HPP) is a matur- ing technology. Proof of maturation came April 5 when the Cold Pressure Council (www.coldpressure.org/en) made its public debut during food equipment show ProFood Tech. Leaders of Hiperbaric USA, the Miami-based division of the largest supplier of HPP presses, have been advocating for a packaging symbol for foods and beverages that have undergone post-packaging pasteurization with high pressure. Simply Fresco LLC, a San Antonio, Texas, processor, already is using the "Cold Pressure Verified" seal on its Cocina Fresca salsa package. One mission of the council is to promote wider use of the seal.
