Detailed explanation-1: -Pasteur realised that microbes were responsible for spoiling food, and just as importantly for France’s economy, wine. He discovered that heating wine to 55C killed bacteria and stopped wine from spoiling, without affecting the taste. The process became known as pasteurisation, and is still widely used today.
Detailed explanation-2: -Louis Pasteur’s pasteurization experiment illustrates the fact that the spoilage of liquid was caused by particles in the air rather than the air itself. These experiments were important pieces of evidence supporting the idea of germ theory of disease.
Detailed explanation-3: -Louis Pasteur, (born December 27, 1822, Dole, France-died September 28, 1895, Saint-Cloud), French chemist and microbiologist who was one of the most important founders of medical microbiology.
