Question

The advantages of High Temperature Short Time (HTST) pasteurization are:
(A) Milk packaging can start as soon as pasteurization begins
(B) The capacity can be increased easily by increasing the number of plates
(C) Less chance of accumulation of milk stone in the vat
(D) Large volume of milk may be processed continuously

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

Hint:

HTST pasteurization is preferred for its efficiency and ability to handle large-scale production demands.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

HTST pasteurization is an efficient and widely used method for processing milk. It allows immediate packaging of milk after pasteurization (A). The modular design enables easy capacity upgrades by adding plates to the heat exchanger (B). Furthermore, it facilitates continuous processing of large volumes of milk (D), making it ideal for large-scale operations. However, it does not entirely eliminate milk stone accumulation in the vat.
