Hiperbaric is a young, innovative industrial company exclusively dedicated to High Pressure Processing technology
Natural and Environmentally Friendly Food Processing Technology
(SPAIN, 10/2/2015)
High Pressure Processing (HPP) is an innovative although industrially mature technology that is consolidating its position as the most natural alternative for processing of a wide range of food products.
Hiperbaric equipment provide a technological solution totally in line with the requirements of today´s food market: natural, fresh, safe and convenience foods.
High Pressure Processing is a cold pasteurization technique which consists of subjecting food, previously sealed in flexible and water-resistant packaging, to a high level of hydrostatic pressure (pressure transmitted by water) up to 600 MPa / 87,000 psi for a few seconds to a few minutes. It is the same effect as subjecting the food to an ocean depth of 60 Km deep -if an ocean this deep existed.

The robust and compact Hiperbaric 55 is ideal for small/medium production, product development and market tests |
High Pressure Processing is a natural, environmentally friendly process that respects the ingredient and helps maintain the fresh food characteristics like flavour and nutrients. It is a real alternative to traditional thermal and chemical treatments.
Oysters, clams, mussels, lobsters, crabs, shrimp, cod, hake, RTE seafood meals, are all examples of products that are currently being processed with HPP.

Designed for any food industry with demanding throughput requirements, the Hiperbaric 300 has historically been the best seller in the Hiperbaric range |
HPP major applications in seafood are:
Mollusk shucking
Processors can use HPP ranging from 200-350MPa to denaturize proteins from the adductor muscle of mollusks such as oysters and clams. Using HPP, the muscle, which is responsible for closing the shell, will not be able to contract and the oyster will open. This exposes the meat for easy extraction, resulting in a significant yield increase.
This application avoids: the handling of mollusks, which is a source of contamination, and a potentially dangerous knife manipulation while opening the shells.
Mollusk shucking and higienization (Vibrio inhibition included) can be performed together to achieve quality seafood products such as safe, fresh tasting oysters with a longer shelf life.
 |
The Hiperbaric 420 is the biggest HPP equipment in the market, its productivity and profitability are far ahead of any other equipment in the world and it represents an important improvement in efficiency and economy for food industries |
Crustacean meat extraction
Using HPP, meat of crustaceans such as lobsters or king crabs will contract and detach from the shell, facilitating extraction with yields of almost 100%.
The process also enables operators to work on smaller parts such as the legs or antennae of the crustacean where meat is most difficult to obtain. As there is no need for cooking, the process enables the meat to retain its natural flavors and provide customers with a fresh product for cooking prior to serving.
Cold post-packaging pasteurization for shelf-life extension, keeping freshness, maintaining higher sensorial qualities, functional properties and improving food safety.
