  1. pasteurized milk

    Pasteurization or pasteurisation is a process of food preservation in which packaged and non-packaged foods (such as milk and fruit juices) are treated with mild heat, usually to less than 100 °C (212 °F), to eliminate pathogens and extend shelf life. The process is intended to destroy or deactivate microorganisms and enzymes that contribute to food spoilage or risk of disease, including vegetative bacteria, but most bacterial spores survive the process.The process is named after the French microbiologist Louis Pasteur whose research in the 1860s demonstrated that thermal processing would deactivate unwanted microorganisms in wine. Spoilage enzymes are also inactivated during pasteurization. Today, pasteurization is used widely in the dairy industry and other food processing industries to achieve food preservation and food safety.By the year 1999, most liquid products were heat treated in a continuous system where heat can be applied using a plate heat exchanger or the direct or indirect use of hot water and steam. Due to the mild heat, there are minor changes to the nutritional quality and sensory characteristics of the treated foods. Pascalization or high pressure processing (HPP) and pulsed electric field (PEF) are non-thermal processes that are also used to pasteurize foods.

  1. pasteurized milk

    Pasteurized milk is milk that has undergone a heat treatment process known as pasteurization, developed by Louis Pasteur. The purpose of pasteurization is to kill harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and molds, that may be present in raw milk, without significantly affecting its taste or nutritional value. Pasteurization also helps to extend the shelf life of milk. The process involves heating the milk to a specific temperature, typically around 72°C (161°F), for a specific duration of time, and then rapidly cooling it.
