Research progress on the application of ultra high pressure for the preservation and sterilization of aquatic products

Ultra high pressure( UHP) is one of the processing technologies in cold treatment and has the obvious effects for sterilization and fresh- keeping in the field of aquatic products. Based on the introduction of characteristics and principle for preservation,the application of UHP in aquatic products processing and its antibacterial mechanism were described. Moreover,the suggestion for improvement was put forward to and the prospects of its development for aquatic products were also outlooked.
