Question

Pasteurization ensures:
(A) Least damage to the cream line
(B) Complete destruction of spoilage-causing microbes
(C) Negative phosphatase test
(D) Complete destruction of pathogens

• A. (A), (C), and (D) only
• B. (A) and (C) only
• C. (B) only
• D. (A), (B), and (C) only

Hint:

Regular testing and adherence to pasteurization protocols are essential for producing safe and high-quality milk.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Pasteurization is a heat treatment process designed to eliminate pathogens in milk, ensuring food safety. It achieves a negative phosphatase test, indicating effective pasteurization. While it ensures minimal damage to the cream line, it does not guarantee the complete destruction of spoilage-causing microbes, as these may require higher temperatures or other methods. Pasteurization is crucial for maintaining both the safety and quality of milk products.
