B
It encourages the growth of important gut-bacteria
C
It heats the food enough to kill all bacteria without affecting taste
D
It causes milk to sour and turn into butter
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pasteurization involves heating liquids at high temperatures for short amounts of time. Pasteurization kills harmful microbes in milk without affecting the taste or nutritional value (sterilization= all bacteria are destroyed).

Detailed explanation-2: -Pasteurization is a process where certain foods are quickly heated for a short time to kill bacteria that can make you sick. Pasteurization keeps foods safe and does not affect the nutrients found in foods.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pasteurization is the process by which food products (such as juice and dairy products) are mildly heated to kill off harmful bacteria, salmonella, and other disease-causing pathogens. These products are thus made safe for consumption.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pasteurisation is the process of sterilisation of milk in which the milk is heated at high temperature, around 70 ℃ for 15 to 30 seconds and then it is suddenly chilled at 5 ℃ and stored.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pasteurization or pasteurisation is a process in which packaged and non-packaged foods (such as milk and fruit juice are treated with mild heat (<100 °C) to eliminate pathogens and extend shelf-life.
