Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for treatment of a product, in particular preservation of a food product or pharmaceutical product, by use or high pressure. The invention is characterized in that the high pressure process is carried out under such conditions that leakage of heat from the product to the surrounding material is minimized or even prevented. In one embodiment the product is pressurized to at least 100 MPa at a pressure is at least 5 MPa.multidot.s.sup.-1. In one embodiment the vessel wall has a heat conductivity no higher than 25 W.multidot.m.sup.-1.multidot.K.sup.-1, preferably not higher than 10 W.multidot.m.sup.-1.multidot.K.sup.-1, more preferably not higher that 1 W.multidot.m.sup.-1.multidot.K.sup.-1 . In another embodiment a liner is used having an adiabatic temperature rise of between 1 and 10 K per 100 MPa, preferably between 2 and 7 K per MPa.
