pasteurizations
Milk safety processes
Pasteurizations are instances or processes of heat-treating food or beverages to kill harmful microorganisms.
The term usually appears in technical or industrial contexts discussing multiple batches or methods: The facility performs thousands of pasteurizations daily.
Named for Louis Pasteur, who developed the technique in the 1860s.
