HIPSTER PROJECT

Among innovative food processing technologies, High Hydrostatic Pressure in combination with Temperature (HPT) has been proven at research level to obtain safer, high quality food products with an extended shelf life, both for chilled and shelf stable products... Although it is accepted that HPT can help to retain the fresh-like characteristics of foods better than conventional and other novel treatments, it has not yet been scaled-up and fully implemented into the food industry... HIPSTER addresses the main barriers preventing the first market introduction and full deployment of HPT. The Project will be implemented by an industry-driven consortium comprising five industries (both technology providers and end-users) and four RTD organisations. Together, they will tackle the most critical barriers for the deployment of the HPT technology in the food industry, overcoming the major challenges for full commercialisation.
