Curious about how your guacamole stays fresh? High Pressure Processing (HPP) is a non-thermal food preservation method that harnesses oceanic-level pressures to inactivate foodborne pathogens and extend the shelf life of various products… all while preserving their nutritional and sensory qualities. We’ll explore the history, application, and potential of this revolutionary technology, as well as its effects on the molecular level.\nIn this episode, you’ll hear about:\nThe journey of HPP from its first mention in 1899\nWhat food products are benefiting from HPP – from guacamole to baby food\nWhy water activity needs to be between 0.97 and 1 for optimal HPP effectiveness\nHow the method keeps your food pathogen-free AND flavorful\nHow the applications of HPP extend beyond food\n\nJump to:\n(04:43) pH and water activity determine microbial inactivation.\n(06:54) How pressure affects weak bonds, not strong covalent bonds.\n(12:50) Why clostridium botulinum struggles to grow in coconut water.\n(16:54) The guest’s favorite artist and song\n(20:30) Featured artist and song\n(22:31) This episode’s Mantra\nFeatured Artist and Song:\nCheshmhaye Tameshki by Marjan Farsad, sung by Roodabeh Derakhshanian\nLinks mentioned in this episode:\nHiperbaric High Pressure Technologies\nThe Scientist by Coldplay, music was chosen by Mario Gonzalez Angulo\nConnect with the show\nAQUALAB\nZachary Cartwright, PhD","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bdwyneYe-wwuE0piWvrRKwpYyT9MYdDMVavfd2QmlTQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZGRk/NDFhODg5NWI5YTc0/NWMzNjA1OTkxZGY3/MmJlZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
