The document discusses pasteurization, which involves heating food or liquids to reduce microbes and extend shelf life. It describes various pasteurization techniques like low-temperature long-time (LTLT), high-temperature short-time (HTST), and ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing. Pasteurization has benefits like preventing disease and spoilage but also has negatives like loss of vitamins and changes to taste. The document concludes that pasteurization protects health while meeting demands, though some nutrients are reduced.
2. PASTEURIZATION
Pasteurization is the process of heating usually
to less than 100 °C (212 °F), and then rapidly
cooling, liquids or food in order to reduce the
number of microbes that may expedite their
spoilage or cause disease.
Invented By French Scientist Louis Pasteur in
1864. Earlier the process was also used for
beer and vinegar.
Pasteurization of milk was suggested by Franz
von Soxhlet in 1886.

PASTEURIZATION
Also known as batch or

Milk is heated up to
62.8˚C for 30 min
followed by cooling
rapidly
Prolong holding of milk
alter its structure and
makes it suitable for
making yogurt.
•Milk is heated between
138˚C to 150 ˚C for 1-2
seconds , immediately chilled
and aseptically packed in an
air tight container.
•Can cause maillard browning
and alter taste and smell of
dairy products
• Also used for fruit juice,
cream , honey, soy milk,
yogurt etc
•Shelf life is about 6 to 9
months without refrigeration
Milk is heated for 138˚C for
2-4 seconds and chilled
immediately with less
stringent packing, they must
be refrigerated.
Shelf life is about 2-3
months.
Also known as Flash
Pasteurization.
Involves heating of milk at
71.7˚C(or 71-74˚C) for 15(15-
20)seconds and cooled to 4-
5.5˚C.
Used in pasteurizing fruit
juice, beers, wine, etc. the
juice is generally rapidly
heated to 197 °F for about 40
seconds.
It increases shelf life of milk
for 16 to 21 days.

Heat treatment inactivate enzymes
(pectinmethylesteraseandpolygalacturonaseinfruit
juices)
destroy spoilage microbes (yeast
and lactobacillus).
shelf-life is thereby extended several weeks
LessAcidicFood(ph>4.5) milkand liquid eggs

6. Positive Effects
It Prevents Diseases like typhoid, Salmonellosis , Q fever(Coxilla burnetti ) ,
Tuberculosis, etc.
Increases shelf life of the products.
Prevents spoilage of food products.
Pasteurized water used to disinfect respiratory and anesthesia equipment.
Elimination of volatile aroma compounds from certain foods.
Exposure of fruits and vegetables to radiation slows their rate of ripening .
HPP organoleptic properties that can be compromised when the food is heat treated.
Inactivates enzymes like phosphatase and lipase which affect milk quality.
Does not produce unpleasant cooked flavour.
Helps in preservation of canned food.

7. NEGATIVE EFFETCS
Pasteurization of milk results in loss of phosphate which is responsible for Ca absorption.
Pasteurization results in decrease in conc. of vitamin C, loss of aroma compounds ,carotene
(vitamin A) in juices.
Irradiation used can destroy vitamin and change the molecular structure.
Some loss of Vitamin B12, vitamin C and thiamin can occur in UHT milk
UHT process can cause Maillard browning.
Spore-forming organisms are highly resistant to HPP spores of Clostridium botulinum.
Some techniques are costly like PEF, MVH etc.

8. Conclusion
• Pasteurization protects from many diseases.
• Preservation technique in dairy industry, brewing industry,etc.
• Increases shelf life of the products.
• Different techniques are used for different products.
