This study was carried out to evaluate the antilisterial activity of carrot, and the impact of its incorporation on the carotenoid content in Minas Frescal cheese, combined or not with high hydrostatic pressure processing, as an alternative for the development of healthier fresh cheese free of synthetic preservatives. Cheeses were manufactured with milk added with carrot incorporation (0, 3, and 6%) and pressurized (0; 250 and 500 MPa/10 min). Total carotenoid content, α-carotene, β-carotene, lutein, consumer acceptance, and sensory characteristics were determined one day after the manufacture while Listeria innocua enumeration was evaluated up to 22 days of storage at 8 ℃. The results showed that although a decrease of over 7 log CFU g−1in L. innocua counts was observed immediately after fresh cheese processing at 500 MPa/10 min, inactivation was not complete, as the growth of this nonpathogen surrogate during storage was observed. The addition of 6% carrot had a slight bacteriostatic effect, verified on the 15th day of storage, particularly in pressurized cheeses. On the other hand, high pressure treatment at 500 MPa/10 min increased carotenoids degradation in cheeses. Although pressurized cheeses were characterized as “rubbery,” high hydrostatic pressure had no significant effect on consumer acceptance.

Jussara (Euterpe edulis) fruit is a strong candidate for exportation due to its high content of anthocyanins. However, its rapid perishability impairs its potential for further economic exploration, highlighting the relevance of producing ready-to-drink juices by applying innovative processing, such as high hydrostatic pressure (HHP). The effect of HHP (200, 350, and 500 MPa for 5, 7.5, and 10 min) on anthocyanins content and antioxidant activity (AA) by FRAP and TEAC assays, and the most effective HHP condition on overall sensory acceptance and stability of jussara juice, were investigated. While mild pressurization (200 MPa for 5 min) retained anthocyanins and AA, 82% of anthocyanins content and 46% of TEAC values were lost at the most extreme pressurization condition (500 MPa for 10 min). The addition of 12.5% sucrose was the ideal for jussara juice consumer acceptance. No significant difference was observed for overall sensory acceptance scores of unprocessed (6.7) and HHP-processed juices (6.8), both juices being well-accepted. However, pressurization was ineffective in promoting the retention of anthocyanins and AA in jussara juice stored at refrigeration temperature for 60 days, probably due to enzymatic browning.

The “Hachiya” persimmon is the most common astringent cultivar grown in California and it is rich in tannins and carotenoids. Changes in the microstructure and some physicochemical properties during high hydrostatic pressure processing (200–400 MPa, 3 min, 25 ℃) and subsequent refrigerated storage were analyzed in this study in order to evaluate the suitability of this non-thermal technology for preservation of fresh-cut Hachiya persimmons. The effects of high-hydrostatic pressure treatment on the integrity and location of carotenoids and tannins during storage were also analyzed. Significant changes, in particular diffusion of soluble compounds which were released as a result of cell wall and membrane damage, were followed using confocal microscopy. The high-hydrostatic pressure process also induced changes in physicochemical properties, e.g. electrolyte leakage, texture, total soluble solids, pH and color, which were a function of the amount of applied hydrostatic pressure and may affect the consumer acceptance of the product. Nevertheless, the results indicate that the application of 200 MPa could be a suitable preservation treatment for Hachiya persimmon. This treatment seems to improve carotenoid extractability and tannin polymerization, which could improve functionality and remove astringency of the fruit, respectively.

The authors consider the technology of processing meat and meat products using high hydrostatic pressure (HHP). Based on the results of research carried out in different countries in different years and the results of our own research, the effectiveness of the use of high pressure and its role in the control and stabilization of the microflora of finished meat products and increasing their shelf life is shown. Research data indicating the possibility of using high pressure in the processing of minced meat and beef trimmings are presented. Differences in the technical parameters of the HHP technology have been established, the results show the possibility of applying a pressure value of 250 MPa, in contrast to 300-600 MPa used in research by foreign scientists. The results obtained on the protein component of cooked sausage products exposed to high pressure are of applied research interest and expand the research database. The authors consider the continuation of research in determining the optimal parameters of this technology, identifying the impact on the consumer properties of meat products, and developing organizational and methodological measures to increase the commercialization of high hydrostatic pressure processing to be promising areas.

Providing beef liver for raw consumption was banned in Japan on July 1, 2012. To lift the ban, the establishment of effective countermeasures for safe raw consumption is necessary. In this study, we examined the effects of high hydrostatic pressure processing on raw beef liver. Beef liver samples subjected to 300 MPa of pressure or higher for 10 min at 25°C became firmer and showed a paler color and were considered unsuitable for raw consumption. More than 3.0 log reductions of bacteria were seen after treatments at 400 and 500 MPa, but the treatment with lower pressure did not show enough microcidal effects for safe consumption. Histological and ultrastructural analysis revealed that high hydrostatic pressure processing increased mitochondrial swelling and reduced rough endoplasmic reticula in hepatocytes, and such changes might be related to the observed changes of texture in the treated raw beef liver.
