This presentation discusses dense phase carbon dioxide (DPCD) processing for preserving liquid foods. DPCD uses pressurized carbon dioxide to inactivate microorganisms in foods, preserving them without heat. It can be done in batch, semi-continuous, or continuous systems. DPCD works by dissolving carbon dioxide into foods, lowering pH and inhibiting microbial growth. It preserves nutritional and sensory qualities better than thermal processing. DPCD is safe, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly but requires further research and addressing misconceptions about carbon dioxide.

3. INTRODUCTION
• thermally processed food can undergo organoleptic changes and
cooked flavor accompanied by loss of vitamins, essential nutrients
and flavor.
• Increased consumers demand for safe, nutritious, fresh like food
with a high organoleptic qualities and an extended shelf life
resulted in the concept of preserving foods using non-thermal
techniques.
• Dense phase carbon dioxide (DPCD) process is also a non-thermal
process which is safe, inexpensive and preserve the nutritional
qualities of food materials.
4. WHAT IS DPCD PROCESS
• In this process food is contacted with pressurized sub or
supercritical carbon dioxide for a period of time in batch, semi-
continues or continuous system.
• Pressure varies from 7 to 40 MPa.
• Temperature varies from 20 to 60 ͦc.
• Time taken during the batch process is 120 to 140 min., and in semi
or continuous system it is 3 to 9 min.
• Temperature glide due to increase in pressure is negligible.
21. ADVANTAGES
• Gives fresh like food also after the storage with minimum energy
consumption.
• Elimination or reduction of heat damages to food.
• Improve the overall qualities of food materials.
• Low capital and operational cost.
• Waste free, environment friendly and energy efficient technology.
• Lower pressure and temperature required as compare to HPP.
Disadvantages
• False images of carbon dioxide.
• Low flow rate.
• Not possible at atmospheric conditions.
• Does not give complete inactivation of spoiled food product.
22. CONCLUSIONS
• This process is safe, economically adoptable, gives fresh like
food and retain the organoleptic properties of food materials.
• Till now it is not adopted by industries due to competitive
processes and also due to false image of carbon dioxide.
• Requires more research on this process.
• Also need to give attention toward the preservation of solid food
metarials.
