1. The document discusses different thermal treatments for milk including pasteurization, sterilization, and boiling. 2. Pasteurization involves heating milk to temperatures between 63-85°C for short periods of time to minimize pathogens while preserving chemical and physical properties. Common pasteurization methods are listed. 3. Sterilization or long-life milk involves higher temperatures over longer periods to destroy all microorganisms allowing milk to be stored at room temperature for several months. Methods of in-bottle and UHT sterilization are described.
