The online conference will bring together manufacturers, retailers, food service and packaging companies, regulatory, academic leaders, and others in the HPP industry to discuss the latest trends and innovations. The event will provide a forum for education, networking, and collaboration while demonstrating how HPP positively impacts the food and beverage industry.
HPP is a nonthermal food preservation technology that uses cold water and high pressure to inactivate food-borne pathogens and spoilage microorganisms. The process maintains nutritional integrity and taste and significantly increases shelf life without the need for preservatives.
The three-day HPP Innovation Week program will focus on three topics over three days, including Day 1: Human & Pet Nutrition; Day 2: Food Safety & Shelf-life Extension; and Day 3: Sustainability & Product Development. Topics include:
- Using HPP for 100% Natural Beverages with the Highest Nutritional Quality
- Latest Innovations: HPP Applied to Natural Supplements and Products with Functional Properties
- HPP Product Validation and Certification
- Innovating the plant-based category using HPP
- Premium Quality Guacamole and Avocado Products Using HPP
- HPP Effect on Proteins and Other Macronutrients
- Facts and Myths of Using HPP for Fresh and Raw Pet Food
- Defining Sustainability in the HPP Industry
- How does HPP align with a Circular Economy of Food?
The conference will include 25 sessions on HPP benefits, packaging, emerging applications, sustainability, and HPP global market trends. More than 50 speakers including leading manufacturer Good Foods, organic juice manufacturer Nourish Cold-Pressed Juice, Utah-based toller Intermountain HPP, and start up Simplicity Beverage will share the latest HPP innovations.
International manufacturers, academicians, and tollers also will share their perspectives, including Canadian plant-based dairy alternative company Plant Veda, Canadian beverage company Loop Mission, and French juice company Juste Pressé. The extensive program includes case studies, individual presentations, moderated panels, exclusive interviews, and live Q&As with technology experts.
