For more than 20 years, high-pressure processing (HPP) has helped beverage-makers bring fresh, healthy and functional beverages to store shelves. Now, pioneering engineering efforts are working to bring this processing technique to even more applications.

The fresh approach has become the safe and healthy approach as more beverage manufacturers turn to high-pressure processing for their operations.

HRS Heat Exchangers offers a complete turnkey system that provides pasteurization through the use of a novel electrical heating method. The new system maintains the properties of freshly squeezed juice, which are adversely affected during traditional pasteurization processes.

To keep pace with consumers desiring healthier, less-processed juices and smoothies, high-pressure processing (HPP) provides a non-thermal juice/beverage preservation technology that is environmentally friendly while helping products maintain freshness, food safety and an extended shelf life, according to Hiperbaric USA.

With fresh foods and beverages sourced from all around the United States and beyond, brands and retailers are implementing innovative solutions for achieving optimal quality.

Contract packing allows small, medium and large brands to outsource the packaging of their products, which is particularly important in light of the shifting beverage landscape.

The system enables a leaner approach to HPP processing while broadening the variety of final packaging.

Food safety, health-and-wellness and clean-label trends are influencing more beverage-makers to invest in high-pressure processing (HPP) equipment.

With the growing consumer demand for fresh, cold-pressed juices with fewer preservatives, HPP is fast becoming the preferred method of choice for juice producers.
