Description
Summary:Hyperbaric storage technology is an upcoming food preservation technique, gaining attention during the last decade. It has been proposed as an alternative to high‐cost, refrigeration‐based storage method. Perishable food products require preservation to enhance their shelf‐life. However, it involves cost of storage, transportation, and risk of spoilage, necessitating development of cheaper and widely available preservation techniques. Hyperbarically preserved perishable food products can be kept at room temperature. It ensures the maintenance of the physicochemical characteristics of stored food, and inhibits and/or inactivates microbes thus extending the shelf‐life of perishable food products considerably. Since hyperbaric storage technology requires less energy consumption and induces a significantly lower impact on our environment, it will be a sustainable option for the storage of animal products in the coming future. This review summarizes known effects of hyperbaric storage on food microorganisms and economic feasibility of this promising new technology. Understanding the basic premises of hyperbaric storage technology will help in promoting it among various stakeholders. Novelty impact statement Hyperbaric technology is an emerging food storage methodology. A smaller carbon footprint, better product quality, and extended shelf‐life with reduced equipment cost make it a futuristic food storage technology. A need for reduction in cost of the equipment by innovation of technology is required. Hyperbaric storage at room temperature can be a sustainable option for storage of the animal‐based products.
