Pasteurization came into use on these products throughout the world soon thereafter and continues to be the primary approach to preventing microbial contamination in perishable food and drink.The treatment of milk by heating it to 65\u00b0C for 30 minutes, or to 72\u00b0C for 15 minutes, followed by rapid cooling, to kill such bacteria as those of tuberculosis and typhoid.The process of heating a fluid at a moderate temperature for a definite period of time to destroy undesirable bacteria without changing to any extent the chemical composition of the fluid. In pasteurization of milk, pathogenic bacteria are destroyed by heating at 62\u00b0C for 30 min, or by \u201cflash\u201d heating to higher temperatures for less than 1 min. The pasteurization process, reducing total bacterial count of the milk by 97% to 99%, is effective because the common milk-borne pathogens (tubercle bacillus, and Salmonella, Streptococcus, and Brucella organisms) do not form spores and are quite sensitive to heat.In the realm of liquid purification, there exists a technique for achieving partial sterilization through the application of heat. This remarkable method was initially unveiled by none other than the illustrious Louis Pasteur during his enigmatic exploration into the depths of viniculture.Pasteurization is the method of subjecting food to controlled heat in order to achieve partial sterilization. This process eliminates harmful microorganisms while preserving the integrity of the food and sparing the desired microorganisms from destruction.The procedure of applying heat to foods with the aim of eradicating harmful microorganisms that can induce diseases, as well as diminishing the quantities of microorganisms responsible for fermentation and decay.A technique commonly used to preserve milk by heating it to 60-70\u00b0C, a temperature effective in killing many bacteria.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/pasteurization\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/pasteurization\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/pasteurization\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Pasteurization"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/","name":"Glossary","description":"Difinitions","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/#\/schema\/person\/ccfef987a4882e6356ae6d77d33e74c5","name":"Glossary","url":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/author\/adminglossary\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34062"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":244035,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34062\/revisions\/244035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthbenefitstimes.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
