TOP Wiki Outlines Mild Conservation Technologies

WAGENINGEN, The NetherlandsTOP bv developed a new service, TOP Wiki, which outlines different mild conservation technologies to help food producers determine which technology is suitable for each product category.

Driven by the trend towards more healthy and natural foods, many food producers are looking for opportunities to grow. Mild conservation technologies like Pascalization (high pressure pasteurization), PurePulse (pulsed electric field 2.0), AMAP (active modified air packaging) and Pats (pressure assisted thermal sterilization) allow food producers to differentiate themselves with fresh, healthy and natural products. Interest in these technologies is increasing as their advantages become more known. TOP Wiki will provide food producers information explaining the new technologies in a clear and simple manner to help them determine whether these technologies are relevant for them. The website also features a self-help table that links the different mild conservation technologies to its suitable product applications allowing food producers to see which techniques are suitable for their specific product categories.
