All of the above.


A less conventional, but US FDA-legal, alternative (typically for home pasteurization) is to heat milk at 63 C (145 F) for 30 minutes. HTST(High temperature ,short time) milk is forced between metal plates or through pipes heated on the outside by hot water, and the milk is heated to 72 C (161 F) for 15 seconds.UHT, also known as ultra-heat-treating, processing holds the milk at a temperature of 135-150 C for 4-15 seconds.
