Most commonly used method for pasteurizing milk
UltraHighTemperature (UHT) Pasteurization
Milk is heated to 280°F (138°C) for 25 seconds
Extends the shelf life of milk without refrigeration
LowTemperature LongTime (LTLT) Pasteurization
Milk is heated to 145°F (63°C) for 30 minutes
Used in some specialty dairy products
Benefits of Pasteurizing Milk
Destroys harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella
Increases the shelf life of milk
Maintains the nutritional value of milk to a great extent
Challenges in Pasteurization

Homogenization
Introduction to homogenization process;
Homogenization process aims to reduce milk fat globule size;
Smaller fat globules improve milk stability;
Smaller fat globules prevent cream separation;
Homogenization involves mechanical treatment of milk;
Milk is forced through small openings under high pressure;
Highpressure causes fat globules to break up;
Broken fat globules disperse uniformly in milk;
Effects of homogenization on milk properties;
Texture and mouthfeel of homogenized milk;
Homogenization causes milk to have a smoother texture;
Smoother texture is desirable by consumers;
Homogenization improves mouthfeel of milk;
Changes in appearance and color of homogenized milk;
Homogenized milk appears whiter and more opaque;
Whiteness and opacity due to smaller fat globules;
Homogenized milk retains stable color over time;
Impact of homogenization on milk flavor;
Homogenization can affect milk flavor profile;
Some people may perceive changes in taste;
Homogenized milk may taste slightly different;
Flavor changes are subjective and vary among individuals;
Nutritional aspects of homogenized milk;
Nutrient availability in homogenized milk;
Homogenization does not significantly alter nutrient content;
Vitamins and minerals remain present in milk after homogenization;
Nutrients in homogenized milk are still beneficial for health;
Digestibility of homogenized milk;
Some studies suggest improved digestibility of homogenized milk;
Smaller fat globules may be easier to digest;
Homogenization may enhance nutrient absorption;
Conclusion on the process of milk homogenization;
Homogenization improves milk stability and appearance;
Homogenized milk has a smoother texture and consistent color;
Flavor and nutritional aspects of homogenized milk vary individually.
