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 not a sterilization process; its purpose is to destroy all pathogenic microorganisms with the exception of bacterial spores.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pasteurization, unlike sterilization, cannot eliminate all microorganisms and spores. It consists of heating a food to less than 100ºC for a few minutes or even seconds, and then cooling it immediately. The time and temperature of cold will vary according to the product, format or type of container.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pasteurization is the process of heating, and then rapidly cooling, liquids or food in order to kill microbes that may expedite their spoilage or cause disease. The French scientist who invented the process of pasteurization was Louis Pasteur.
