Additional information
High-pressure sterilisation is a candidate process to replace conventional thermal processing - but to do this it is necessary to understand how organisms are killed. This paper results from a sabbatical visit by Peter Fryer to CSIRO Food Science in Melbourne, during which a computational model of high-pressure processing was developed. Here the model is used to test a variety of models for how C. botulinum (the critical poisoning organisms) will behave during processing - and shows that different models give answers that are sufficiently different to cause concern for practical operation of the device.
