Developed for academic researchers and for those work in industry, Present and Future of High Pressure Processing: A Tool for Developing Innovative, Sustainable, Safe and Healthy Foods outlines innovative applications derived from the use of high pressure processing, beyond microbial inactivation. This content is especially important for product developers as it includes technological, physicochemical and nutritional perspectives. This book specifically focuses on innovative high pressure processing applications and begins with an introduction quickly followed by a section on the impact of high pressure processing on bioactive compounds and bioaccessibility/bioavailability. The third section addresses the ways in which high pressure processing can assist in the reduction of toxins and contaminants, while the fourth section presents opportunities for the use of high pressure processing the development of healthy and/or functional food. This reference concludes with an analysis of the challenges regarding the use of high pressure processing as an innovative application.
