AbstractHigh hydrostatic pressure (HHP), a novel non-thermal processing technology, can inactivate microorganisms in food with ultra-high pressure over 100 MPa. In recent years, it has shown unique potential in alleviating seafood allergenicity. Seafood, as a primary high-quality protein source, is one of popular food products in many human populations, while seafood allergy remains an obstacle to the consumption of seafood and calls for processing raw materials to reduce their allergenicity. Heating and fermentation as conventional methods, along with HHP as a rising novel technology, have been applied in seafood processing, such as shrimp and squid. This review provides a brief introduction of current key publications and limitations of researches on seafood allergy. In addition, characteristics and principles, processing parameters and effects of HHP treatment on seafood of current researches were detailed. Our main goal was to support readers to keep abreast with knowledge on seafood allergy and provide new insights of using HHP for seafood processing to achieve lower allergenicity.

Survival Capacity

Cryoinjuries are almost inevitable during the freezing of embryos. The present study examines the possibility of using high hydrostatic pressure to reduce substantially the freezing point of the embryo-holding solution, in order to preserve embryos at subzero temperatures, thus avoiding all the disadvantages of freezing. The pressure of 210 MPa lowers the phase transition temperature of water to -21°C. According to the results of this study, embryos can survive in high hydrostatic pressure environment at room temperature; the time embryos spend under pressure without significant loss in their survival could be lengthened by gradual decompression. Pressurisation at 0°C significantly reduced the survival capacity of the embryos; gradual decompression had no beneficial effect on survival at that stage. Based on the findings, the use of the phenomena is not applicable in this form, since pressure and low temperature together proved to be lethal to the embryos in these experiments. The application of hydrostatic pressure in embryo cryopreservation requires more detailed research, although the experience gained in this study can be applied usefully in different circumstances.
