28.6. Future Perspectives
In spite of the exciting possibilities that high-pressure freezing offers, some obstacles make it difficult to introduce this technology into the food industry. Currently, industrial pressure vessels, able to work at subzero temperatures, do not exist in the market. Cooling conventional pressure equipment would be a difficult task due to their large size. It is important to note that today, the use of high pressure is not an impediment, but the long processing times are the limiting factors and they must be reduced to make the processes competitive. Therefore, introducing high-pressure freezing into the food industry would involve a previous development of suitable industrial high-pressure equipment that allows quick ...
