Pressure Fresh Australia leads the nation in commercially available High Pressure Processed (HPP) food products. We are the leaders in Food Technology Innovations and pioneering Research and Product Development innovations for the future using this technology.

Pressure Fresh Australia is manufacturing a range of fruit, vegetable and herb products for the food service, retail and industrial food sectors.

Pressure Fresh Australia offers the 'Fresh Alternative' to the heavily preservative dependent food service, retail and industrial food sectors. In 2006, Pressure Fresh Australia was established with a vision to deliver the ultimate 'fresh' consumer experience. Managing Director of Pressure Fresh Australia, Trent De Paoli has directed the commercialisation of High Pressure Processing (HPP) Technology in Australia encompassing a range of fruit, vegetable and herb products now available to the industry.

HPP is cold pasteurisation of foods at extremely high levels of pressure. The pressure is so great that the food bacteria are killed. Once these bacteria are killed, we achieve safe to eat food products with exceptional shelf life.

You may be asking yourself, why doesn't this amount of pressure crush the food. A good example is when you place a grape in inside a bottle of water and squeeze it really hard. The grape doesn't get squashed because the amount of pressure is evenly distributed over the entire surface area of the food. HPP works the same way.

Once the product is packed into a bag, it is placed inside the HPP Chamber where the products are submerged under water (just like the grape). Hydrostatic Pressure is then applied to kill the food bacteria. What comes out of the chamber is a fresh, naturally processed food product! Just like the grape, it hasn't changed its physical shape.
