Abstract
In High Pressure Processing (HPP), equipment and process design has largely been based on trial-and-error experimentation. For the successful design of equipment and process in High Pressure Thermal Processing (HPTP), it is imperative to know the extent of compression heating of the materials involved; i.e., compression medium, pressurized products, baskets or canisters, to achieve a uniform temperature treatment to the product. This chapter will introduce an approach to measure compression heating properties of liquids as well as solids. Further, the requirements of HPTP components in terms of compression heating properties will be discussed and the approach for the screening and selection of suitable insulating plastics for HPTP showcased.
