Effect of High-Pressure Processing on Physico-Chemical, Microbiological and Sensory Traits in Fresh Fish Fillets (<i>Salmo salar</i> and <i>Pleuronectes platessa</i>) by Marta Castrica, Radmila Pavlovic, Claudia M. Balzaretti, Giulio Curone, Gabriele Brecchia, Emma Copelotti, Sara Panseri, Davide Pessina, Claudio Arnoldi, Luca Maria Chiesa

“…Specifically, physico-chemical (VOCs, untargeted metabolomics spectra, pH and color), microbiological (<i>Enterobacteriaceae</i>, <i>Pseudomonas</i> spp., mesophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria) and sensory traits were evaluated at different days of refrigerated storage. From the results obtained, it is possible to state that the high pressure significantly (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.05) reduced microbial growth for each investigated microorganism. …”

Improved Joule Thomson equation of supercritical CO2-rich natural gas in separation system by Saripudin, Tutuka Ariadji, Sanggono Adisasmito, Leksono Mucharam, Doddy Abdassah

“…However, CO2-rich natural gas cools immediately after being separated and expands when the CO2 dew point is reached in the absence of a refrigerant system. In our previous study, supercritical expansion experiments using various CO2 compositions revealed that the Joule–Thomson equation gives a significant absolute average error value of 16.28%. …”
