Abstract

High-pressure homogenization is applied to liquid foods by devices that consist of a positive displacement pump (usually a plunger-type pump) and one or more restrictions to flow (stages) created by valves or nozzles. This chapter reviews various valves utilized in high-pressure homogenization of liquid foods. The impact of high-pressure homogenization on various functional properties of protein and polysaccharides and microbial safety of pressure homogenized products is discussed.
