In vivo/in vitro metabolic studies on HPP effect.*

Reference HPP treatment parameters Device Milk components/properties Impact of treatment (compared to raw milk) Comparison HoP – HPP
In vivo/metabolic studies Wemelle et al. (54) 4 cycles of 5 min; 350 MPa; 38°C
Compression rate 1 MPa/s
(n = 8)
Not precised Level of antioxidant gene expression in the liver of mice treated with HPP-donor milk
Inflammatory markers in liver and ileum of mice treated with HPP-DM
Increase of catalase and Superoxide dismutase mRNA expression → stimulation of antioxidant defense
NS for other genes (Sod1, Gpx1, Gpx2, Nox1/2)
Decrease in F4/80 mRNA expression (ileum)
Decreased expression of Tnfɑ et F4/80 mRNA (liver) → reduced inflammation
Catalase and Sod2 mRNA expression were significantly decreased in HoP-treated HM (p < 0.05)
After supplementation of mice with HPP-treated milk compared to HoP-treated milk:
  • Decrease in F4/80 mRNA expression in both the ileum and (p < 0.05).

  • Better stimulation of antioxidant defense and reduction of inflammation in both the ileum and liver

Wemelle et al. (55) 4 cycles of 5 min; 350 MPa; 38°C
Compression rate 1 MPa/s
(n = 8)
Not precised Glucose tolerance in mice
Isotonic intestinal contraction in mice
Not compared In mice supplemented with HPP-treated milk compared to HoP-treated milk:
  • Improvement of glucose tolerance (p < 0.05)

  • Decrease of the amplitude of duodenum contraction (p < 0.05)

In vitro Zhang et al. (50) 400 MPa; 5 min; 25°C Hippo 20 device (Ilshin Autoclave, Daejeon, Korea). In vitro static digestion assays HPP increased proportion of larger fat globule but HPP milk had a similar size distribution pattern as raw milk following a 60-min of gastric digestion. As in raw milk, lactoferrin remain largely undigested in HPP milk following gastric digestion. Not compared
