High-pressure food processing

Hydrostatic pressure has not only been used as a physical parameter for studying the stability and energetics of biomolecular systems, but also because high pressure is an important feature of certain natural membrane environments (e.g., of marine biotopes in the deep sea) and because the high pressure phase behaviour of biomolecules is of biotechnological interest (e.g., for high pressure food processing). ...

The concerned industries are chemical/petrochemical, power, nuclear, and armament industries, as well as high-pressure food processing. Autofrettage is common practice for equipment used in polyethylene (LDPE) plants, gun barrels, waterjet cutting pumps, and high-pressure pasteurization equipment.
