Sterilization of Milk

Sterilization of Milk

	Sterilization of Milk - Boiling of milk is still widely used in our country. It kills all the vegetative cells of microorganisms. It does not require refrigerati0n and has a relatively longer shelf life. Commercial milk sterilization techniques are in the process of being developed.
Ultra pasteurization is a more recently perfected process in which milk is heated at 300F for 1 to 2 seconds. In addition the processing includes steps that eliminate any traces of cooked flavour. The final product is comparable in flavour and nutritional quality to pasteurized milk.
