Question

Milk can be preserved by_________ (pasteurization/salting) technique.

Answer 1

• Pasteurization: Pasteurization is the process of heating milk to a temperature of $70°\mathrm{C}$ for 15 to 30 seconds and this is followed by immediate and rapid cooling.
• This kills any microorganisms present in the milk and does not affect the flavor of the milk due to heating.
• Salting: Salting is also known as curing and this process draws moisture from the meat through osmosis. This technique is mainly used to preserve fish.
