Solution

Partial sterilization of a substance and especially a liquid (such as milk) at a temperature and for a period of exposure that destroys objectionable organisms without major chemical alteration of the substance is called pasteurization. A large number of people heat and reheat the same milk again and again, and that too at a high temperature for a long time thus, killing the nutrients. In case of milk packets, the content is already pasteurised and there is no need to boil it at high temperature and heat it for less than for 6 to 8 minutes at 100 degree Celsius. This will retain the nutrients.
