pasteurizes
Makes milk safe
Pasteurizes is the third-person singular form of pasteurize, which means to heat a liquid—typically milk, juice, or beer—to a specific temperature for a set period to kill harmful microorganisms without significantly altering flavor or nutritional value.
The process is named after Louis Pasteur, the French scientist who developed it in the nineteenth century.
The dairy pasteurizes its milk before bottling.
Most commercially sold milk and fruit juices are pasteurized to extend shelf life and ensure safety.
