Progress in Low-Impact Processing Technologies to Deliver More Sustainable and Healthy Food Tomorrow by Marco Dalla Rosa, Santina Romani, Pietro Rocculi, Urszula Tylewicz, Silvia Tappi

“…The proper management of mild/non-thermal processing technologies, such as dynamic and hydrostatic high-pressure, vacuum impregnation, ultrasound, pulsed electric field and cold plasma applications, can result in a less negative effect with respect to the traditional thermal treatments, and, in some cases, the overall functionality can be improved. In many cases, these treatments can induce structural changes that improve the bioaccessibility and/or the bioavailability of bioactive compounds such as probiotic microorganisms. …”
