Losses in foods caused by thermal processing and high demand for nutritions and high quality foodsby consumers have brought about the need for novel food preservation techniques. High pressureprocessing, ultraviolet light, and irradiation are some of the non-thermal novel technologies whichhave been in use for inactivation of microorganisms for certain foods in the food industry in recent years.Ultraviolet light and pulsed light are also used for reduction of microbial load of environment, foodpocessing equipments, and packaging materials in the food industry. Although processing of foodswith these non-thermal novel preservation techniques is a viable alternative to thermal processing,they have been limitedly used in the food industry due to high investment cost and uncertainty onprocess parameters for specific foods. This review will address applications of novel non-thermal foodpreservation techniques such as high pressure processing, ultraviolet light, pulsed light, and irradiationin the food industry
