Pre-treatment and High-pressure Processing Lab

Laboratory features

The pioneer laboratory with “multifunctional high-pressure processing technology service platform” has facilities that support the industrial demand for using marine bioresource as the source of biotechnology applications in Taiwan. We'd like to be able to develop innovative functional products by making good use of high-pressure processing technology (e.g. extraction and hydrolysis) with less additives (e.g. acid, base, and enzyme) used.

We offer

Pilot test :
  • Marine-derived functional materials development
  • Aquatic products high-pressure processing
  • High-pressure processing technical consultancy
  • High hydrostatic pressure / sub-critical water technology application
Process and technology development :
  • Extraction of valuable components from marine bioresource
  • Hydrolysis of marine bioresource / degradation of marine-derived biological macromolecules
  • High-pressure processing technology of aquatic products (shelling, sterilization, meat tenderization, allergen inhibition, etc.)

Facilities include

Pre-treatment Room :
  • Characteristic analysis equipment: infrared moisture analyzer, pH benchtop meter, analytical balance, electronic balance, rotational viscometer.
  • Primary treatment equipment: knife mill, pulverizer, vacuum packing machine, refrigerator, low temperature freezer, water purification system, stirring hot plate, overhead stirrer, ultrasonic cleaning machine, microwave oven, autoclave, laminar flow, hot air oven.
  • Separation & purification equipment: benchtop centrifuge, freeze dryer, rotary evaporator, floor-standing high-speed centrifuge.
