Experiments were carried out under subzero high pressure processing conditions using Escherichia coli suspended in milk, and the microbial inactivation before and after the meta-stable state regulation was compared. The phase transition position of unperturbed milk was 302 MPa/-37.

In an effort to discover new highly efficient candidate drugs derived from guaiazulene, four series of guaiazulene derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for antiproliferation, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) signalling pathway agonist activities. Among them, two guaiazulene condensation derivatives showed selective cytotoxic activities towards K562 cell with IC values 5.

However, thermal processing leads to a significant decline in food quality, especially in the case of fruits and vegetables. To overcome this drawback, researchers are extensively exploring alternative non-thermal High-Pressure Processing (HPP) technology to ensure microbial safety and retaining the sensory and nutritional quality of food.
