According to the World Health Organization, unsafe food containing harmful bacteria is responsible for an estimated 420,000 deaths every year globally. Cold pasteurization, also known as High-Pressure Processing (HPP), is a modern preservation method gaining popularity for its ability to enhance food safety without heat.

The global market for minimally processed fruits and vegetables has seen explosive growth since the 1990s, driven by consumer demand for healthier and more convenient products. This trend has popularized minimal processing methods, which aim to retain the fresh-like qualities of food with fewer additives or intense treatments.
