High Pressure Processing Methods (HPP)

Taste for Life (Zi Jin Tang) uses the high pressure processing method to retain the nutrients, flavour, and colour of food without artificial preservatives, colouring, or flavouring. This technology holds pressure for 48 hours by the ultra-high pressure at a temperature below 50 ℃, which reduces protein denaturation and loss of nutrients caused by high temperature.

This technique is known as “one of the ten cutting-edge technology in twenty-first century”, and is recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). It is an increasingly popular technology in Singapore, especially among health food brands. Thus, mothers can rest assured that our meals are safe to consume and nutritious.
