Welcome to HPP Innovation Week 2022

Hiperbaric, the global leader in high pressure processing (HPP) technology, welcomes you to HPP Innovation Week 2022.

03:05 pm to 03:30 pm GMT+0200

Why and How to Incorporate HPP in Your Food Business

High-pressure processing (HPP) is a nonthermal food preservation technique that inactivates harmful pathogens and vegetative spoilage microorganisms by using pressure rather than heat to effect pasteurization. Discover how to incorporate the technology into your current processing facility.

03:30 pm to 04:00 pm GMT+0200

Using HPP for 100% Natural Beverages with the Highest Nutritional Quality

HPP continues to prove to be the preferred preservation method, as it effectively eliminates bacteria and other food safety threats while maintaining the juice products’ natural taste, texture, and nutrients. Thus, HPP delivers an optimally fresh beverage product.

04:00 pm to 05:00 pm GMT+0200

Latest Trends: HPP Applied to Natural Supplements and Products with Functional Properties

The fastest growing category in the HPP industry is health-based products that include supplements and functional ingredients, commonly in a beverage form. Ingredients include ginger, turmeric, and CBD supplementation.

05:00 pm to 05:30 pm GMT+0200

Natural HPP Beverages: Source of Nutrients, Vitamins and Antioxidants

HPP is a method of preserving beverages using extremely high pressure instead of high heat. This process extends the shelf life without the use of preservatives and helps to maintain the nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants in functional beverages.

05:30 pm to 06:00 pm GMT+0200

Innovating the Plant-based Category using HPP

Consumers are demanding more organic plant-based products, and high pressure processing (HPP) can improve product safety by inactivating foodborne pathogens and extending product shelf life. HPP can also help offer a preservative-free product.

06:00 pm to 06:30 pm GMT+0200

HPP Effect on Proteins and Other Macronutrients

Although HPP does not affect the small molecules usually responsible for color, flavor, and nutritional value, it may change the 3D structure of some proteins. This change can help improve the proteins’ technological properties, increasing, for instance, their ability to act as emulsifiers or thickeners, reducing the need for preservatives.

06:30 pm to 07:00 pm GMT+0200

Facts and Myths of Using HPP for Fresh and Raw Pet Food

HPP is used to control food-borne pathogens with minimal impact on the nutritional composition of the food. Still, many myths surround HPP pet food, such as degradation of nutrients, inactivation of enzymes, or inefficient control of pathogens. Discover the research to many of these myths.

07:00 pm to 08:00 pm GMT+0200

HPP Research Awards – Human & Pet Nutrition – Finalists Presentations

Discover the HPP Research Awards finalists in the Human & Pet Food nutrition category. Finalists will have the opportunity to present their research during a 12-minute presentation with a Q&A. HPP Research Awards winners will be announced on June 23, during the last day of the conference.

03:00 pm to 03:20 pm GMT+0200

How to Reach Your Listeria Zero Goals Using HPP

With most foods such as RTE meat, Listeria is primarily an environmental contaminant. Meat processing plants and processing equipment are primary sources of Listeria contamination. Since HPP is a post-packaging process, it is considered to be a proven intervention process to control this deadly pathogen.

03:30 pm to 03:45 pm GMT+0200

How to Choose an HPP Tolling Partner

HPP has become a mainstream process, particularly for food and beverage companies seeking food safety, shelf-life extension and clean labels. Hiperbaric’s HPP Global Tolling Network is growing rapidly to serve the companies who are not ready to commit to the purchase of equipment.

03:45 pm to 04:30 pm GMT+0200

HPP Product Validation and Certification

Prior to launching an HPP product, food and beverage manufacturers must show the effectiveness of the processing method in controlling biological hazards in the food product, which is done with a validation study. Companies can also use the «High Pressure Certified» seal to communicate the use of HPP on their packaging.

04:30 pm to 05:30 pm GMT+0200

Developing Clean Label Plant-based Products Using HPP

Consumers are demanding more plant-based products, and High Pressure Processing (HPP) can improve product safety by inactivating foodborne pathogens and extending product shelf life while maintaining its nutritional profile.

05:30 pm to 06:00 pm GMT+0200

HPP Offers Safe Refrigerated Beverages with An Extended Shelf Life

HPP preserves the integrity of the nutrients and enzymes in beverages without using heat like conventional beverages on the market. Using high pressure, it inactivates foodborne pathogens and extends product shelf-life, between 45-90 days.

06:00 pm to 06:30 pm GMT+0200

The Effect of High Pressure Processing to Control Bacterial Spores

Despite the widespread application of HPP, this food processing technology also has some limitations. Pressure levels currently applied in commercial applications do not inactivate bacterial spores. There are ongoing projects on how HPP can be a potential tool to control spore germination.

06:30 pm to 07:00 pm GMT+0200

Premium Quality Guacamole and Avocado Products Using HPP

Discover the journey of HPP in the avocado and guacamole industry, which dates back to 1996. It was because of this non-thermal technology that avocado companies were able to market a natural and preservative-free product that could be distributed on a global scale.

07:00 pm to 07:30 pm GMT+0200

From Conceptualization to Commercialization of an HPP Product

Hiperbaric has two pilot plants, located in Spain and the US, specifically designed and equipped to proof recipes using HPP equipment. The pilot plants include a food science kitchen with all the equipment required to test food & beverage products.

07:30 pm to 08:30 pm GMT+0200

HPP Research Awards – Food Safety & Shelf-life Extension – Finalists Presentations

Discover the HPP Research Awards finalists in the Food Safety & Shelf-Life Extension category. Finalists will have the opportunity to present their research during a 12-minute presentation with a Q&A. HPP Research Awards winners will be announced on June 23, during the last day of the conference.

03:00 pm to 03:15 pm GMT+0200

03:15 pm to 03:30 pm GMT+0200

Defining Sustainability in the HPP Industry

Sustainability is a vital need of fulfilling the basic societal requirements by improving social, environmental, and economic systems. HPP is an environmentally friendly technology, which provides sustainable food without compromising the safety or quality of products and improves the food sector economically.

03:30 pm to 04:30 pm GMT+0200

How does HPP align with a Circular Economy producer?

A circular economy aims to reduce food waste by repurposing the outcasts of the food industry. Discover how HPP is helping preserve fruits and veggies that are rejected because they don’t have the proper shape, size or a shelf life that is not long enough to survive the cycle of distribution.

04:30 pm to 05:00 pm GMT+0200

Q&A: How does HPP Enhance R&D and Product Development Efforts

Hear from Good Foods, an HPP pioneer food & beverage brand, that also received the 2020 R&D Team of the Year from Food Processing. The Good Foods R&D team uses HPP as a way to master taste, texture, technical aptitude, and operational prowess.

05:00 pm to 06:00 pm GMT+0200

Innovative Sustainable Packaging Solutions for HPP Juices and Beverages

Packaging plays a critical role in developing a successful HPP product. As an alternative to traditional PET packaging, juice and beverage companies are beginning to use more sustainable solutions such as rPET, PLA and biodegradable solutions.

06:00 pm to 06:15 pm GMT+0200
