FAQs

HOW DOES HPP WORK?

HPP protects and defends foods by subjecting sealed products to incredibly high pressures – up to 6,000 bar or 87,000 psi. It’s an all-natural process that uses purified cold water to neutralize food-borne pathogens, like listeria and E. Coli, without preservatives or chemicals.

By applying pressure in all directions uniformly for about one to three minutes, HPP foods retain their shape. The lack of heat (thermal processing) means HPP products taste better and retain their nutrients, which ensures producers deliver the absolute tastiest food on the planet.

WHAT IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT?

CAN HPP BE APPLIED TO ALL FOODS?

The short answer: mostly. Avure’s HPP equipment separates the shells off hundreds of lobsters in minutes and triples the shelf life of guacamole. But not all foods are suited for HPP, like bread, marshmallows or other dry solids with pockets of air that would cause the product to collapse under water pressure. And while HPP makes refrigerated soup last longer, it can’t do the same for low acid, shelf-stable versions. Rest assured, our food lab scientists are working on it.

IS IT NEW TECHNOLOGY?

WHAT ABOUT GOVERNMENT REGULATION?

HOW SAFE IS THE EQUIPMENT TO OPERATE?

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) certifies each system. ASME inspectors put our HPP equipment through the ringer with rigorous testing, which includes boiler and pressure vessel certification.

To create the safest, longest-lasting equipment in the industry, Avure developed “leak-before-break” technology. This involves tightly winding hundreds of miles of high-tensile steel around pressure vessels and frames.

Myths

HPP DAMAGES FOOD

FALSE. In fact, it helps preserve the food’s shape and texture. Why? Science.

Imagine a grape in your hand. Squeeze it, and splaaat. But if you were to apply pressure equally from all angles, the grape would maintain its shape. That’s how HPP works, but with pressures up to six-times greater than the Marianas Trench, which is the deepest part of the ocean.

Try it for yourself. Place a grape in a plastic bottle, fill it with water and squeeze.

I CAN'T USE HPP ON MY PRODUCT

HPP IS ONLY FOR LARGE-SCALE PRODUCTION

ONLY SMALL PRODUCERS USE HPP

HPP IS TOO EXPENSIVE

FALSE. With the widespread global adoption of HPP technology, capital and operating costs continue to decrease. In fact, HPP can save money by reducing chemicals, scrap, recalls, transportation, consumer complaints, and costs associated with freezing and thermal processing. But most importantly, producers, retailers and consumers alike benefit from foods that last longer on shelves (reduced waste), taste better than ever and aren’t packed with chemicals.
