Pasteurization
Health Safety
Pasteurization is primarily about making food safe by destroying harmful organisms.

Pasteurization ensures that the cheese is free from harmful bacteria.
Temperature Critical
The exact temperature and time used in pasteurization are crucial for its effectiveness.

The pasteurization of this yogurt involved heating it to 85°C for 30 seconds.
Not Sterilization
Unlike sterilization, pasteurization doesn't kill all microbes, just reduces them to safe levels.

While pasteurization kills most bacteria in milk, it's not designed to sterilize the milk completely.
