Recent years have seen the various studies conducted on the kelulut honey based on their physicochemical and nutritional properties. The main concern in production of kelulut honey in maintaining the quality especially when it is being treated. Previous studies have shown that conventional thermal processing that comprises two phases of heating which are liquefaction and pasteurization will minimize the quality of kelulut honey in terms of its physicochemical and nutritional properties due to its heat sensitivity material criteria. In addition, the reduction in quality of honey due to the unsteady components, breakdown of vitamins and damage of enzymes when it heated at more than 60℃ in thermal processing. Hence, a systematic review is carried out to identify a suitable heat treatment for kelulut honey as compared to conventional thermal processing in treating honey. The search strategy was established in three databases (Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect) with the search keywords “(“Honey”, “Kelulut”, “stingless bee”, “Trigona”, “Melipon”, “Microwave heating”, “Double boiling”, “HPP” or “High pressure processing” and “Ultrasound”)”. The data selection strategy was showed using PRISMA guidelines. A total of 311 journal papers were referred to complete this review, however, only 10 articles were highly considered specifically on the process of kelulut honey, where microwave heating, double boiling and high pressure processing (three articles respectively). Whereas, only two articles on analysis of ultrasound were found. From this literature review, it found that HPP provide higher benefit in improving physicochemical and nutritional properties of kelulut honey although it produces a lower change in colour if compared with other treatment. It can be concluded that HPP is the most potential in increasing the quality of kelulut honey followed by double boiling, ultrasound and microwave heating.

Thermal processing has been the most common method in food processing technology, but it has eliminated the quality of fresh type food (nutritionally and sensorial). Therefore, the non-thermal methods emerged, and High-Pressure Processing (HPP), applying 100 to 1000 MPa for a short period, is the most popular one due to maintaining the food's nutritional and sensory characteristics extending the shelf-life well as eliminating the level of the microorganism. HPP is an environmentally friendly technology that helps to decrease energy consumption. It can be used in nearly all food industries, from milk to meat, as a novel preserving method. This article reviews the effects of this innovative processing technology on food quality. The microbial effects in some food categories and extending the shelf life are explained. HPPs’ advantages and limits compared to thermal processing are highlighted.

The quality of Kelulut honey is heavily affected by conventional thermal processing due to the existence of thermolabile compounds. Hence, high-pressure processing (HPP) was employed as an alternative method to minimize any quality deterioration during processing.  HPP was carried out at two different pressures (200 and 600 MPa) with two holding times (5 and 10 minutes) respectively. Thermal processing was also carried out (60 and 90 °C for 10 and 30 minutes) for comparison. After treatment, the changes in antioxidant activity, diastase activity and colour were determined. Increment of antioxidant activity by 3 % was recorded by HPP-treated (600 MPa/10 minutes) compared to thermally-treated. Diastase activity which was used as freshness indicator showed non-significant changes (p>0.05), whereas colour evaluated based on total colour different (TCD) and browning index (BI) showed decrement after HPP. Fortunately, the TCD recorded for HPP was below the range noticeable by human eyes, ranging from 1.5 to 3.0. In conclusion, HPP is better than conventional thermal processing in producing minimally-processed Kelulut honey as evident by the retention of diastase activity, antioxidant activity with increment at 600 MPa/ 10 minutes, and unnoticeable changes in colour. This hence has an implication on post-harvest processing of Kelulut honey.

Increase in allergenicity towards cow’s milk, lactose intolerance, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, and flexitarian choice of food consumption have increased the market for cow’s milk alternatives. Non-dairy plant-based beverages are useful alternatives because of the presence of bioactive components with health-promoting properties, which attract health-conscious consumers. However, the reduced nutritional value and sensory acceptability of the plant-based beverages (such as flavor, taste, and solubility) compared to cow’s milk pose a big threat to its place in the market. Thermal treatments are commonly used to ensure the quality of plant-based beverages during storage. However, the application of high temperatures can promote the degradation of thermolabile compounds and some detrimental reactions, thus reducing protein digestibility and amino acid availability of non-dairy plant-based beverages substitutes. New and advanced food processing technologies, such as high-pressure processing, high-pressure homogenization, pulsed electric fields, and ultrasound, are being researched for addressing the issues related to shelf life increase, emulsion stability, preservation of nutritional content and sensorial acceptability of the final product. However, the literature available on the application of non-thermal processing technologies on the physicochemical and nutritional properties of plant-based beverages is scarce. Concerted research efforts are required in the coming years in the functional plant-based beverages sector to prepare newer, tailor-made products which are palatable as well as nutritionally adequate.

High-pressure homogenization (HPH) and high-pressure processing (HPP) are emerging technologies for the food industry. Both technologies employ high pressure to preserve foods. However, the principal mechanism of HPH is based on shear stress distribution in a material instead of a decrease in volume due to an increase in pressure as occurring in HPP. HPH can be used in extraction or preservation of bioactive compounds and phytochemicals. This review first describes the mechanism of HPH processing. Next, this review discusses the impact of HPH on extractability and stability of phytochemicals such as carotenoids, vitamin C, polyphenols, and anthocyanins in various food matrices. In general, the use of HPH slightly improved or maintained the extractability of the phytochemicals. Similarly, HPH slightly reduced or maintained the stability of the phytochemicals but this is dependent on the food matrix and type of phytochemical. HPH has a great potential to be used to improve the extractability and maintaining the stability of these phytochemicals or to be used together with milder thermal processing. Besides understanding the impact of HPH on the extractability and stability of phytochemicals, the impact of HPH on the nutritional quality of the food matrices needs to be thoroughly evaluated.

The objectives of the present study were to determine the influence of thermal and non-thermal processing procedures on in vitro ileal disappearance (IVID) of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) in chicken meat as dog foods using 2-step in vitro assays. In thermal processing experiments, IVID of DM and CP in chicken meat thermally processed at 70, 90, and 121 °C, respectively, with increasing processing time was determined. For non-thermal processing experiments, IVID of DM and CP in chicken meat processed by high-pressure, ultraviolet-light emitting diode (UV-LED), electron-beam, and gamma-ray was determined. Thermal processing of chicken meat at 70, 90, and 121 °C resulted in decreased IVID of CP (p < 0.05) as heating time increased. In non-thermal processing experiment, IVID of CP in chicken meat was not affected by high-pressure processing or UV-LED radiation. In vitro ileal disappearance of CP in electron-beam- or gamma-ray-irradiated chicken meat was not affected by the irradiation intensity. Taken together, ileal protein digestibility of chicken meat for dogs is decreased by thermal processing, but is minimally affected by non-thermal processing methods.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of high pressure processing (HPP) as a preservation method of meat products. Vacuum-packaged fish patties were subjected to HPP (300 MPa for 30 min 15°C or 500 Mpa for 10 min at 15°C). Untreated samples represented the control group. The three groups were stored at 4°C for 0–5 weeks. Color parameters, pH, thiobarbituric (TBARS), bacterial growth, and Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) were determined. The results revealed that the 500-MPa treatment inhibited bacterial growth and extended the shelf-life of fish patties to four weeks with insignificant effects on the physicochemical attributes.

High pressure processing (HPP) is a cold pasteurization technology by which products, prepacked in their final package, are introduced to a vessel and subjected to a high level of isostatic pressure (300–600 MPa). High-pressure treatment of fruit, vegetable and fresh herb homogenate products offers us nearly fresh products in regard to sensorial and nutritional quality of original raw materials, representing relatively stable and safe source of nutrients, vitamins, minerals and health effective components. Such components can play an important role as a preventive tool against the start of illnesses, namely in the elderly. An overview of several food HPP products, namely of fruit and vegetable origin, marketed successfully around the world is presented. Effects of HPP and HPP plus heat on key spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms, including the resistant spore form and fruit/vegetable endogenous enzymes are reviewed, including the effect on the product quality. Part of the paper is devoted to the industrial equipment available for factories manufacturing HPP treated products.
