Pasteurization is a key process in modern dairy plant operations and forms an integral part of manufacturing of various indigenous and western dairy products.Milk is a perfect medium for growth of micro-organisms, and growth of pathogenic organisms can cause diseases such as tuberculosis and typhus. Pasteurization kills the organisms responsible for spread of diseases through milk and makes it safe for consumption.
The word ‘pasteurization’ has been named after an eminent French scientist, Louis Pasteur. In general terms it is heating milk or its products to such temperature,which destroys nearly all the microorganisms, present in it without affecting the composition or properties of the product. Thus it is important to monitor the pasteurization process as improperly/under pasteurized milk can cause the infection.This unit will give us working knowledge of pasteurization process. Let us understand the process.
