Effect of high pressure processing on food proteins, polysaccharides and triglycerides
1.INTRODUCTION: High pressure processing is used widely in food industry in combination usually with heat treatment. Some of the most known applications of high pressure processing are homogenization of milk before or after pasteurization or sterilization, in order to produce whole or skimmed fresh milk and other dairy products, the snack production in various shapes through extrusion and filtration of wine tar in industrial scale. The aim of this assignment is to define the effect of high pressure processing on structural and operational characteristics of the major food components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. 2.EFFECT OF HIGH PRESSURE PROCESSING ON MAJOR FOOD CONSTITUENTS: a. Effect of high pressure processing on food proteins: High pressure has significant effect on proteins. In this section the effect on proteins in different food and feedstuffs is studied thoroughy, so to have more clear view. In milk, the 2 major whey proteins β – lactoglobulin an...
