American Pasteurization Company

American Pasteurization Company (APC) is the first company in the United States to offer High Pressure Processing (HPP) on a commercial tolling basis to the food manufacturing industry. HPP kills bacteria that can cause spoilage and food-borne illness, and greatly extends shelf life. Applying HPP to foods and beverages – rather than heat pasteurization – results in products with a fresher taste and better appearance, texture and nutrition. HPP pasteurizes foods and beverages by uniformly applying extreme hydrostatic pressure around and throughout a food product, deactivating the cellular activities of foodborne pathogens and other spoilage organisms.\n\nAPC collaborates with food manufacturers to guide them through the entire process of applying HPP to their products. They also provide product development and testing, as well as additional assembly and packaging lines, making APC the nation’s only complete HPP resource.
