Juices and Beverages

This application has experienced an increasing growth due to the variety of beverages developed in recent years, benefitting drastically from high pressure processing. HPP maintains its flavor, color and composition intact, which is precisely what today's consumer demands.

In the case of fruit and vegetable juices, this technology preserves all its nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants and its flavor. It’s similar to consuming a freshly squeezed juice, but with an extended shelf life and food safety guarantee.

Other beverages that benefit from HPP are smoothies and milk alternatives, which have recently become popular. In addition, fruit-based waters and probiotic-enhanced and functional drinks is another growing category for those looking for an additional source of electrolytes and energy. In the last few years, there have been numerous beverage products created with the help of HPP that are competing in the market today.

These include ready-to-eat (RTE) vegetable soups, such as gazpacho, aloe vera or algae-based beverages, cold brew coffee or tea infusions, or fermented beverages such as kombucha, vinegar, or beer.
