1st Colloquium "Current and Future Applications of High-Pressure Technologies in the Food Industry"

Fraunhofer IGB explores the pressure change technology (PCT) for the preservation of beverages as an alternative to thermal or chemical methods. Therefore, a cleanroom pilot plant has been set up at the institute which will be opened on June 21, 2016. At the inauguration, guests can visit the new pilot plant and obtain an overview of the current state of research in an accompanying technical colloquium.

Currently, beverages are commonly preserved by thermal processes. However, taste and color, as well as nutritionally valuable ingredients like vitamins or proteins are also partially destroyed by heat.

In recent years, Fraunhofer IGB developed a method based on pressure change technology (PCT), also known as "cold pasteurization", as a promising alternative to the thermal or chemical preservation of beverages. By now, the procedure is ready for application.

For further research under hygienic conditions a PCT pilot plant was built with a capacity of 4 liters per minute and installed in a facility area especially built for this purpose.

The new pilot plant can be used by customers and partners of the institute for application studies with fruit and vegetable juices, wine, cider, dairy products, plant extracts and suspensions containing active substances (such as cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations).

We are opening our new facilities with the 1st Colloquium "Current and Future Applications of High Pressure Technologies in the Food Industry", in which we present current results and future possibilities of high-pressure techniques, and a subsequent visit to the installation on June 21st 2016.

For further information and complete program please visit Fraunhofer IGB website.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
