Abstract

Food processing by ultra high pressure has been commercialized by leading companies in food industry. The Research Association of High Pressure Food Processing Technology in Tsukuba was established in 2004, and one of the aims of the association was to develop new equipments for high pressure food processing at low cost so that small-and-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can introduce the technology. Through the activity of the association, we have won a research project from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries for developing a test model for high pressure food processing in collaboration with National Food Research Institute. As a result, we have completed a test model with a volume of 20L (250mmΦ x 420mm), a maximum pressure of 200 MPa, and a temperature range between ambient temperature and 60°C.
