CA 2144888

An apparatus for improving the quality of a foodstuff includes a container for containing the foodstuff to be processed and a working gas under an operating pressure. A compressing device places the working gas and the foodstuff under the desired operating pressure and this operating pressure is held for an operating period. The apparatus also includes an arrangement for releasing the operating pressure, preferably suddenly, allowing the foodstuff and any residual gas to go to a relatively lower pressure, which may be atmospheric pressure or a vacuum. This pressurization, hold, and pressure release cycle improves foodstuff quality by reducing undesirable microbe content. Also, the pressurization, hold, and release cycle improves color in meats.
