Global life sciences company Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB:
PBIO) this morning announced a collaboration with The Ohio State University’s
College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (“CFAES”). The
collaborative project seeks to develop and commercialize a continuous-flow
manufacturing technology to prepare liquid foods and beverages with
preservation of superior sensory and nutritional qualities, while also
providing an extended shelf life without refrigeration or chemical additives.
Pressure BioSciences believes that, through scale-up of its innovative and
patented Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”), the delivery of higher quality, longer
lasting liquid foods and beverages is possible. The collaborative project is
supported by a four-year, $891,000 grant awarded to CFAES scientists by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture
(“NIFA”). PBIO has been granted a $318,000 sub-contract by Ohio State to build
a working benchtop instrument and a pilot plant floor model UST machine. The
company has commenced work on this project. “The ultimate goal of this
collaborative project is for consumers to benefit from the increased
availability of wholesome, healthy, better-tasting, shelf-stable, clean label
liquid food and beverage options. Imagine liquid foods like milk shipped and
stored at room temperature for extended periods of time post-processing, while
retaining superior nutritional and taste qualities. The advantages and
cost-savings to the consumer and dairy industry could be game-changing. The
advantages and cost savings to schools, the military, disaster relief agencies,
and other such groups could be equally significant. This technology development
is very exciting, and potentially very rewarding, for all stakeholders in PBI,”
Pressure BioSciences president and CEO Richard T. Schumacher stated in the news
release.

About Pressure BioSciences Inc.
Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) is a leader in the
development and sale of innovative, broadly enabling, pressure-based solutions
for the worldwide life sciences industry. Our products are based on the unique
properties of both constant (i.e., static) and alternating (i.e., pressure
cycling technology, or “PCT”) hydrostatic pressure. PCT is a patented enabling
technology platform that uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure
between ambient and ultra-high levels to safely and reproducibly control
bio-molecular interactions (e.g., cell lysis, biomolecule extraction). Our
primary focus is in the development of PCT-based products for biomarker and target
discovery, drug design and development, biotherapeutics characterization and
quality control, soil & plant biology, forensics, and counter-bioterror
applications. Additionally, major new market opportunities have emerged in the
use of our pressure-based technologies in the following areas: (1) the use of
our recently acquired PreEMT technology from BaroFold, Inc. to allow entry into
the biologics contract research services sector, and (2) the use of our
recently-patented, scalable, high-efficiency, pressure-based Ultra Shear
Technology (“UST”) platform to (i) create stable nanoemulsions of otherwise
immiscible fluids (e.g., oils and water) and to (ii) prepare higher quality,
homogenized, extended shelf-life or room temperature stable low-acid liquid foods
that cannot be effectively preserved using existing non-thermal technologies.
