Abstract: The technology of combined high-pressure and temperature has become a research focus in food processing fields.The effects of the combined procedure on food microorganisms, its sterilization mechanism and kinetics analysis were reviewedin this paper. According to the results discussed, the author suggested that the other existing methods should be combined withthe food high-pressure technology to lower the processing pressure. And the modes of combining high pressure with moderateor low temperature were dependent on the raw materials to be processed.

Key words: high pressure, moderate temperature, low temperature, combination, food microorganisms
