Hpp Tolling technology shelf life and food safety presentation 2015Christopher Droney
HPP Tolling is an Irish based company that offers the 700+ food and beverage production companies in Ireland the opportunity to use our HPP Technology to extend the shelf life and safety of their food, while eliminates all the bacteria’s in their products such as Salmonella, Listeria and e coli. The technology works by applying tremendously high levels of pressure through the medium of water to the already packaged food products after they have been placed in a high pressure chamber for treatment.
Novel approaches in seafood preservation techniques_Dr. Irshad A., LPT Divisi...Dr. IRSHAD A
The document discusses novel approaches for seafood preservation, including modified atmospheric packaging (MAP), irradiation, ozone treatment, pulse electric fields (PEF), ultraviolet radiation, oscillatory magnetic fields (OMF), high pressure processing (HPP), ultrasound technology, and high intensity light (HIL) preservation. It provides details on the mechanisms and advantages of each technique. While these novel approaches help extend shelf life and maintain food safety and quality compared to traditional methods, further investigation is needed to improve their effectiveness for seafood preservation.
High-pressure processing uses high pressure, rather than heat, to preserve foods by inactivating harmful pathogens. Pressurizing foods to levels above 200 MPa uniformly inactivates microorganisms like bacteria and extends shelf life with little effect on taste, texture or nutrition. The process involves sealing foods in flexible packages and submerging them in water inside a high-pressure vessel. As pressure is applied, microorganisms are inactivated due to damage to cell membranes and proteins. This non-thermal method allows for minimal quality loss compared to heating and improves food safety.
The application of high pressure processing in dairy industry (Presentation)Thomas Zafeiriadis
This document discusses the application of high pressure processing (HPP) in the dairy industry. It begins with an introduction to HPP as a non-thermal pasteurization method that retains nutrients and organoleptic properties unlike conventional heating. It then discusses several applications of HPP including milk homogenization, emulsion production like chocolate milk, cheese production, and managing dairy wastewater to recover proteins and lactose.
High Pressure Processing Summary June 2010 Dr Ranjan Sharmarocomara
High pressure processing (HPP) is a non-thermal food processing technology that uses high water pressure to preserve foods without heat or chemicals. HPP was first commercialized in Japan in the 1990s and has since expanded globally. HPP extends the shelf life of foods while maintaining quality and freshness. It has advantages over other preservation methods as it uses less energy, avoids post-processing contamination, and inactivates microorganisms without affecting nutrients and flavors in foods. Common HPP applications include juices, seafood, meats, and ready meals.
High pressure processing is a non-thermal food preservation technique that uses high pressure, typically between 100-1000 MPa, to inactivate pathogens and microorganisms. It works by applying intense, uniform pressure to packaged foods using a liquid medium in a high-pressure vessel. HPP kills pathogens while maintaining the quality attributes of foods such as taste, texture, and nutrients. It has advantages over thermal processing as it does not use heat and maintains the natural flavors of foods. Common foods processed using HPP include juices, guacamole, and seafood.
High pressure processing (HPP) is a non-thermal food preservation technique that uses high water pressure to kill microorganisms and inactivate enzymes in food. It allows foods to be preserved without heat, maintaining texture, flavor and nutrition. HPP uses pressures of 100-1000 MPa for a few minutes to kill pathogens and extend shelf life. It has been widely adopted since the 1990s for products like guacamole, juices and dairy. HPP provides a safe alternative to thermal pasteurization and allows preservation of thermosensitive qualities in foods like proteins and vitamins.

Our company, DAKAT Foods, produces, markets, and sells wholesome and socially beneficial foods and beverages around the world. The purpose of our talk today is to tell you about our newest product, an organic, fair trade, low-glycemic, environmentally friendly, and socially responsible iced coffee drink called HAPPUCCINO.
Product
HAPPUCCINO is a blended organic and fair trade blended iced coffee, deliciously creamy and served in compostable packaging. The product consists of organic fair trade coffee, organic and naturally low-carb sweeteners, and vegan nut-milks with other natural flavors. Our major competitors are Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, and Dunkin Donuts. Future partners will include REI, Whole Foods, Fresh Thyme, local grocery co-ops, and sustainability-minded restaurants and cafes.
Marketing strategy focuses on a business’s overall plan to reach and retain potential customers through establishing a value proposition, gathering demographic data, and setting objectives.
According to Abedin & Jafarzadeh (2013), a unique marketing strategy starts with product differentiation, which results in higher brand love, enhanced image, and customer loyalty.
The products’ value proposition is also based on a great customer experience supported by an outstanding store atmosphere meant to decrease stress and increase the sense of well-being in our customers.
Market and Customer
HAPPUCCINO will be marketed through the use of mass media and online social-media advertisements, focused on long term branding of the product as a healthy, sustainability-focused, customer-oriented, and ethical business. We will also partner with established brands to co-market our products together.
We plan to market HAPPUCCINO in several markets, including:
· Online, via social media including Facebook, Instagram, Tick-Tock, and other person-to-person social media platforms
· By engaging young influencers, such as popular Youtubers, young celebrities, sports figures, and others that our target customers trust.
· By cross-promoting with other brands in the LOHAS space, e.g., REI, Whole Foods, Fresh Thyme, local grocery co-ops, and sustainability-minded restaurants and cafes.
· We will run special ads in local publications, to drive foot traffic to our own and partner stores.
As HAPPUCCINO moves through its life cycle and gains market share, we may decide to increase pricing; e.g. skimming price strategy, to increase revenues and further establish our superiority in the crowded coffee market.
According to Akaeze and Akaeze (2017), business practitioners achieve a competitive advantage when they perform a careful value-creating plan or method not simultaneously performed by competitors. In our case, HAPPUCCINO is superior in health and environmental benefits.
It is instructive to note that most initial pricing strategies are temporary and as the product life cycle advances, there will be changes in the ...

ANF Pre-package High Pressure Processing Solution
1. HPP PRE-PACKAGE SOLUTIONS
2013 Catalog
FresherTech Duo H200L/600F
This solution, High Pressure Pasteurizing (HPP) before Packaging, began gaining momentum as ANF started asking customers about their
goals for a clean label. These goals vary dramatically across the entire spectrum depending on which layer in the food processing
distribution chain you reside. A fresh juice processing company that is trying to gain market space from the East Coast to the West Coast of
the United States vs. a company in China trying to penetrate the fresh juice market space in the United States is going to have different
shelf life goals and these goals are going to affect their strategy for HPP. Another example is a retail meat department trying to gain yield
and extend in store shelf life an additional 5 days vs. a meat processing company that needs 30 days of extended shelf life to safely deliverand extend in store shelf life an additional 5 days vs. a meat processing company that needs 30 days of extended shelf life to safely deliver
a quality product from production, to distribution, to retail, and finally to consumers tables.
Some goals require post package HPP because and others have the option of pre-packaging HPP. At ANF it is our goal to match our clients
with the solution that achieves their goals and puts them in the most competitive position.
In the illustration above, the HPP basket is the food product vessel. The HPP baskets are filled with product directly from production, they
are sent to an unprocessed cold storage buffer, then High Pressure Processed. Afterward the processed HPP baskets are taken to
processed cold storage. Once the processed buffer has a full production inventory of product it is schedule for packaging. Processed
product is taken to the fillers, emptied into the fillers, and packaged.
At ANF we have found this process to be the most non invasive to a customers existing production environment and thus most easily
integrated into a facilities existing food production flow.
