Centrifugal Pump vs Positive Displacement: 7 Differences
When selecting a pump for a particular application, understanding the difference between centrifugal and positive displacement pumps is crucial. Each type of pump has its own advantages and ideal use cases. In this article, we will explore the 7 key differences between these two pump types to help you make the right choice for your […]
What is UHT and HTST Pasteurization?
What is UHT and HTST Pasteurization?
Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) processing and High-Temperature, Short-Time (HTST) pasteurization are two pasteurization methods that involve heating liquid foods to a specific sterilization temperature for a precise, short time, followed by rapid cooling before packaging. The precision heat treatment is designed to sufficiently sterilize fresh beverages, dressings or sauces to commercial requirements while maintaining flavor, color, and nutrients. UHT and HTST are heated for a much shorter amount of time than the original vat pasteurization technique. This is possible due to the higher temperatures involved.
What is milk pasteurization?
We can define milk pasteurization as the process of heating milk to a predetermined temperature for a specific duration to kill specific pathogens and reduce the load of spoilage microorganisms without re-contamination during the entire process.
