Introduction
We are interested in soft matter processing with the application focus on "pasteurisation" (“pascalization”)
of food products by High Pressure Processing (HPP) and dynamics of elimination
of microorganisms: bacteria, moulds and yeast from foods in various standard conditions.
Our areas of interest:
- elimination, and study of dynamics of elimination pathogenic microorganisms from foods
- shelf life prolongation and improving safety and quality of foods
- studies of physicochemical changes in food products after HPP pasteurisation
- studies of cellular injuries of microorganisms after HPP treatment
- high pressure studies linking microbiology and physics on bio-matter and selected food products using differental thermal analysis (DTA)
-
cold pasteurisation and sterilization based on simultaneous hybrid application of HPP and new design of pulsed electric field (newPEF)
- general properties of soft matter systems under pressure, including extreme domains (GPa, negative pressures)
