This seminar, delivered as an output from the EU project ‘NovelQ', will demonstrate the many commercial benefits of HPP for seafood processors, including shelf-life extension and enhanced meat extraction yields.
Why should I attend?
Despite leading the research efforts into HPP, commercial uptake of the technology in Europe has been modest. This event will provide insights from leading commercial users of HPP for seafood into why they use the technology and how it has given them a commercial edge. Information will also be provided on the latest high pressure research from the NovelQ project.
Who should attend?
This event is aimed at food/seafood technology professionals within the seafood processing industry. The presentations will, on the whole, be industrially focused but some papers, i.e. those reviewing output from the NovelQ project, may be more academic in nature.
