Learn about high pressure for cold pasteurisation

Cold pasteurisation of smallgoods, meals, beverages and a variety of produce is gaining momentum across the globe. Rather than traditional pasteurisation methods based on temperature, high pressures up to 600 MPa can be used instead. Use of high-pressure pasteurisation can extend shelf life, reduce reliance on preservatives and inactivate foodborne pathogens while maintaining colour, flavour and fresh-like characteristics.

If you think this technology could be useful in your business, why not learn more from the experts?

As world leaders in the development and implementation of HPP technology across a range of product categories such as meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetable products, meal solutions, dips and sauces, CSIRO is holding a workshop where companies can learn how HPP could add value to their business and enhance the quality, shelf life and safety of their products.

Not only will you get the low-down from experts, you will be able to see a demonstration of the CSIRO food innovation centre’s HPP plant — the only one of its kind in Australia.

Participating companies will also have the opportunity to register their interest in accessing CSIRO’s HPP plant for a free trial of their product.

The CSIRO course will cover:

• fundamentals of high-pressure processing
• food safety aspects
• equipment and packaging considerations
• costs and risk management
• case studies of HPP products
• demonstration of the CSIRO food innovation centre HPP plant and tour.

The course is particularly suited to product development technologists, process improvement technologists, process engineers, innovation managers, technology managers, product development managers, technical managers, quality assurance managers, food safety managers, marketing managers, entrepreneurial investors, retailers from the food manufacturing industries, universities and government.

The next course will be held on 24 November 2016 at CSIRO’s food innovation centre, 671 Sneydes Road, Werribee, Victoria. Visit https://events.csiro.au/ to register to attend.
