Noun

pascalization (uncountable)

  1. A method of preserving and sterilizing food through the use of high pressure.
    • High isostatic pressure processing has been termed "pascalization" because it follows Pascal's principle. High isostatic pressure is instantaneously and uniformly transmitted throughout the pressure medium and the food product.1996, Journal of Food Protection, volume 59, page 146
    • It is also termed as hyperbaric pressure processing or ultra-high pressure or high-pressure processing (HPP) or pascalization. In HPP, a food is subjected to high-pressure in the range of 100 to 1000 MPa with or without heat in which pressure is instantaneousy and uniformly transmitted throughout...2014, Jatindra Kumar Sahu, Introduction to Advanced Food Process Engineering, page 152
    Synonyms:
    high pressure processing, HPP
