This review aims to describe the basic principles and applications of novel thermal technologies focusing on studies in Latin American countries with respect to those worldwide to define the current needs in research. Definitions, technical characteristics, mechanisms of bacterial inactivation, and potential applications are described, as well as the current status of these technologies and their main challenges for industrialisation. The research advances, as evidenced by the number of publications in international journals, are reviewed with special focus on publications from Latin America. The research on novel thermal emerging technologies for food processing is widely dominated by the USA. In Latin America, this research area is much smaller; however, a vast array of possible applications exists considering the diversity of products in the region, which has not yet been explored.

这篇综述旨在描述新型热技术的基本原理和应用，重点放在拉丁美洲国家的研究上，与全球范围内的研究相结合，以定义当前的研究需求。描述，细菌灭活的定义，技术特征，机理和潜在的应用，以及这些技术的现状及其对工业化的主要挑战。正如国际期刊上发表的论文数量所证明的那样，研究进展得到了审查，并特别侧重于拉丁美洲的出版物。用于食品加工的新型热新兴技术的研究受到美国的广泛控制。在拉丁美洲，这个研究领域要小得多。然而，
