High Pressure Food Processors

Engineered Pressure Systems, Inc. (EPSI), a world leader in custom-engineered high-pressure solutions, offers its isostatic high-pressure technology to the food processing industry. With over 40 years of knowledge and expertise, EPSI has custom designed numerous food presses for universities, research institutes, and international food concerns. Available in laboratory and production units, EPSI’s isostatic high-pressure systems deactivate microorganisms and enzymes, as well as denaturate proteins and polysaccharides.

Food processes using EPSI’s high-pressure presses are designed to apply uniform, simultaneous and omni-directional pressure to food products, and are ideal for meeting the high capacity demands of today’s food industry and its requirements for easy and effective sanitation and cleaning of equipment. EPSI’s non-thermal process subjects food products to high isostatic pressure, in the range of 100 to 900 Mpa at or around room temperature. This process offers the food industry a unique opportunity to develop high nutritional foods of novel texture, higher safety, and sensory quality, while increasing shelf-life. In addition, EPSI’s high-pressure food processing enhances retention of natural flavors, fragrances and nutrients in foods.

Laboratory Units

  • More than 15 R&D units have been delivered to both industrial and academic laboratories, with pressures up to 130,000 psi (900 MPa)
  • EPSI offers the food industry the experience needed to implement this new technology on a production scale
     
 

Isostatic High Pressure on Food

  • This is a novel food processing technique which subjects food products to high-pressure. The pressure action on the food is uniform and simultaneous
  • Controlled temperatures (heated or cooled) can be used with pressure, if desired
  • Use of high-pressure can lead to:
    1. Inactivation of microorganisms and enzymes
    2. Denaturation of proteins and polysaccharides
     
 

POSSIBLE BENEFITS

  • Enhanced retention of natural flavors, fragrances and nutrients
  • Potential to create food products with novel texture and taste
  • Low energy consumption process, minimal use of fresh water
  • Compatibility of the process with existing flexible and semi rigid packaging
