Does HPP damage nutrients?

No. High pressure is extremely effective at breaking weaker chemical bonds (hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions) important to overall cell function but it does not affect nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids since they are held together by stronger covalent bonds unaffected at pressure ranges achieved by HPP machines.

This is corroborated by our own testing, which showed small, insignificant shifts in nutrient values from HPP that all fall within normal sampling variability. There was no pattern of nutrient loss or degradation, and moisture levels remained stable before and after HPP.
