Innovating Food Science: Researching HPP with Resato High Pressure Technology

In the quest to meet the growing consumer demand for fresh, safe, and minimally processed foods, High Pressure Processing (HPP) — or Pascalization — stands out as a promising technology. While the benefits of HPP in food preservation are well-documented, much of its potential is still being explored. At Resato High Pressure Technology, we are committed to supporting this exploration by providing advanced HPP systems designed specifically for research and development (R&D). Our mission is to empower researchers to unlock new possibilities in food science, ultimately driving the innovation of the food processing market.

What is Pascalization (HPP)?

Pascalization is a food preservation method that uses extremely high pressure (up to 6,000 bar/87,000 psi), to inactivate harmful microorganisms while preserving the food’s natural qualities. This process offers numerous benefits, such as extended shelf life, enhanced food safety, and the retention of nutrients, making it an attractive option for food producers and consumers alike.

The Importance of Research in Pascalization

While the commercial applications of HPP are growing, the full potential of this technology is far from realized. Research plays a critical role in understanding how different food products respond to high pressure, how Pascalization can be combined with other preservation methods, and how it can be optimized for various applications. From improving texture and flavor to enhancing the safety of complex food matrices, research is the key to expanding the boundaries of what HPP can achieve.
