High-pressure processing (HPP) is an innovative non-thermal food preservation method. HPP can inactivate microorganisms, including viruses, with minimal influence on the physicochemical and sensory properties of foods. The most significant foodborne viruses are human norovirus (HuNoV), hepatitis A virus (HAV), human rotavirus (HRV), hepatitis E virus (HEV), human astrovirus (HAstV), human adenovirus (HuAdV), Aichi virus (AiV), sapovirus (SaV), and enterovirus (EV), which have also been implicated in foodborne outbreaks in various countries. The HPP inactivation of foodborne viruses in foods depends on high-pressure processing parameters (pressure, temperature, and duration time) or non-processing parameters such as virus type, food matrix, water activity (aw), and the pH of foods. HPP was found to be effective for the inactivation of foodborne viruses such as HuNoV, HAV, HAstV, and HuAdV in foods. HPP treatments have been found to be effective at eliminating foodborne viruses in high-risk foods such as shellfish and vegetables. The present work reviews the published data on the effect of HPP processing on foodborne viruses in laboratory media and foods.

In recent years, several foodborne viruses’ outbreaks have been recorded worldwide. Μost of the foodborne viruses have a low infection dose, are stable and can persist and survive in foods for a long time without loss of infectivity. The most important foodborne viruses are: human norovirus (HuNoV), human rotavirus (HRV), hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis E virus (HEV), human astrovirus (HAstV), Aichi virus (AiV), sapovirus (SaV), human adenovirus (HAdV) and enterovirus (EV). In recent years, innovative non-thermal food-processing technologies including high-pressure processing (HPP), cold plasma (CP), ultraviolet light (UV), irradiation and pulsed electric field (PEF) for improving the quality and safety of foods, including foods of animal origin, have been under research. This review presents the recent data on foodborne viruses and reviews the innovative non-thermal technologies for the control of the foodborne viruses in foods.

Highly processed and ready to eat food keep has been in high demand from the consumers from day to day. Thermal pasteurisation can lead to undesirable sensory changes and there could be a high risk in ingesting pathogenic microbes from lack of proper pasteurisation. High-pressure processing (HPP) could be a new alternative to preserve foods such as fruits, vegetables and fermented foods since it is less aggressive. The influence of HPP for the preservation of fruits, vegetables and fermented foods was proven to be effective towards the physicochemical properties of fruits and vegetables. The paper review in brief the effect of high-pressure process treatment as an alternative food preservation method. Observations were based on the physical and chemical properties such as colour, texture and microbiological counts. This study demonstrated that the quality changes of foods can be preserve through HPP treatments.

Nowadays, thermal treatments are used for extending the shelf-life of vegetable and fruit products by inactivating microorganisms and enzymes. On the other hand, heat treatments often induce undesirable changes in the quality of the final product, e.g., losses of nutrients, color alterations, changes in flavor, and smell. Therefore, the food industry is opening up to new technologies that are less aggressive than thermal treatment to avoid the negative effects of thermal pasteurization. Non-thermal processing technologies have been developed during the last decades as an alternative to thermal food preservation. Processing changes the structure of fruit and vegetables, and hence the bioavailability of the nutrients contained in them. In this review, special attention has been devoted to the effects of modern technologies of fruit and vegetable processing, such as minimal processing (MPFV), high-pressure processing (HPP), high-pressure homogenization (HPH), ultrasounds (US), pulsed electric fields (PEF), on the stability and bioavailability of vitamin C.

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.

ABSTRACTHigh-pressure processing is a nonthermal method of food preservation that uses pressure to inactivate microorganisms. To ensure the effective validation of process parameters, it is important that the design of challenge protocols consider the potential for resistance in a particular species. Herein, the responses of 99 diverseSalmonella entericastrains to high pressure are reported. Members of this population belonged to 24 serovars and were isolated from various Canadian sources over a period of 26 years. When cells were exposed to 600 MPa for 3 min, the average reduction in cell numbers for this population was 5.6 log10CFU/ml, with a range of 0.9 log10CFU/ml to 6 log10CFU/ml. Eleven strains, from 5 serovars, with variable levels of pressure resistance were selected for further study. The membrane characteristics (propidium iodide uptake during and after pressure treatment, sensitivity to membrane-active agents, and membrane fatty acid composition) and responses to stressors (heat, nutrient deprivation, desiccation, and acid) for this panel suggested potential roles for the cell membrane and the RpoS regulon in mediating pressure resistance inS. enterica. The data indicate heterogeneous and multifactorial responses to high pressure that cannot be predicted for individualS. entericastrains.IMPORTANCEThe responses of foodborne pathogens to increasingly popular minimal food decontamination methods are not understood and therefore are difficult to predict. This report shows that the responses ofSalmonella entericastrains to high-pressure processing are diverse. The magnitude of inactivation does not depend on how closely related the strains are or where they were isolated. Moreover, strains that are resistant to high pressure do not behave similarly to other stresses, suggesting that more than one mechanism might be responsible for resistance to high pressure and the mechanisms used may vary from one strain to another.

Inactivation of hepatitis A virus (HAV) in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium with 10% fetal bovine serum was studied at pressures of 300, 350, and 400 MPa and initial sample temperatures of −10, 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50°C. Sample temperature during pressure application strongly influenced the efficiency of HAV inactivation. Elevated temperature (>30°C) enhanced pressure inactivation of HAV, while lower temperatures resulted in less inactivation. For example, 1-min treatments of 400 MPa at −10, 20, and 50°C reduced titers of HAV by 1.0, 2.5, and 4.7 log PFU/ml, respectively. Pressure inactivation curves of HAV were obtained at 400 MPa and three temperatures (−10, 20, and 50°C). With increasing treatment time, all three temperatures showed a rapid initial drop in virus titer with a diminishing inactivation rate (or tailing effect). Analysis of inactivation data indicated that the Weibull model more adequately fitted the inactivation curves than the linear model. Oscillatory high-pressure processing for 2, 4, 6, and 8 cycles at 400 MPa and temperatures of 20 and 50°C did not considerably enhance pressure inactivation of HAV as compared with continuous high-pressure application. These results indicate that HAV exhibits, unlike other viruses examined to date, a reduced sensitivity to high pressure observed at cooler treatment temperatures. This work suggested that slightly elevated temperatures are advantageous for pressure inactivation of HAV within foods.

High pressure processing is a novel food preservation technology, applied for over 15 years in the food industry to inactivate spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. Many studies have shown the differential resistance of bacterial cells to high pressure. Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium able to grow at refrigerated temperature and to survive for a long time in minimally processed foods such as raw smoked fish. The freezing process does not cause significant decline of L. monocytogenes. The phase diagram of water under pressure permits a pressure treatment under subzero temperature, without the disadvantages of freezing for food quality. The aim of this study was to estimate if combined effects of pressure and subzero temperature could increase the destruction of L. monocytogenes in buffer and in smoked salmon. We investigated effects of high pressure processing (100, 150, and 200 MPa) combined with subzero temperatures (−10, −14, and −18°C) and pH (7.0 and 4.5). Results showed that the most effective high-pressure treatment to inactivate L. monocytogenes was 200 MPa, −18°C, and pH 4.5. The relevance of pressure holding time and the synergistic effect of pressure coupled with the subzero temperature to inactivate bacteria are highlighted. Modifications of physical properties (color and texture) were a lightening of color and an increase of toughness, which might be accepted by consumers, since safety is increased.

Today consumers demand fresh foods without additives, preservatives and health risks: that is why non-thermal food preservation methods are receiving more interest, among them High Pressure Processing is able to avoid thermal degradation of food components, extend their shelf life and preserve colour, flavour and nutritional value. HPP is often used on dairy products because of its impact on physicochemical and sensory characteristics, its ability to improve their structure and texture and inactivate some microorganisms. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of HPP on a packaged ricotta rich in Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) and Omega-3, resulting from cows fed with linseed in the Parmigiano Reggiano area, and processed with a hydrostatic pressure of 600 MPa for 5 minutes. The ultimate goal is to find a mathematical model able to show the treatment’s effect on spoilage microorganisms that grow spontaneously in this product during a month of refrigerated storage.
