Discover the Revolutionary Principle of Cold Pasteurization
La cold pasteurization, a cutting-edge innovation in the agri-food sector, is revolutionizing safety and quality standards. This method, also known as high pressure pasteurization, redefines the standards for food preservation, providing a safe and effective alternative to traditional heat pasteurization. At Hubert Cloix, we are proud to be at the forefront of this cutting-edge technology, offering our customers the best of French innovation.
The Advantages of Cold Pasteurization
Unlike traditional pasteurization, which involves the application of heat to eliminate pathogens, cold pasteurization uses high pressure to achieve the same goal, while preserving the sensory and nutritional qualities of foods. This method makes it possible to maintain the freshness, texture and flavor of the products, while guaranteeing their microbiological safety.
In addition, the cold pasteurization extends the shelf life of food, reducing losses and waste. This innovative approach also meets growing consumer demands for food safety, providing peace of mind while preserving product integrity.
Operation and applications of Cold Pasteurization?
The principle of cold pasteurization relies on the application of high hydrostatic pressure, typically between 300 and 600 MPa, to foods packaged in flexible containers. This high pressure inactivates pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and yeasts, without altering the physicochemical characteristics of the food.
- Ready-to-Eat Foods: This method is particularly suitable for pasteurizing ready-to-eat foods, such as ready meals, fresh fruit juices, dairy products and soups.
- Seafood: Seafood products, such as crustaceans, molluscs and fish, can also benefit from cold pasteurization, ensuring optimal quality and increased food safety
