Summary Introduction

To tell:

Why milk gets spoiled even after pasteurization.

Introduction:

Sterilization is a term that implies and ensures the complete eradication of the microbes. The sterilization can be obtained by physical and chemical methods. Apart from sterilization, the sanitation also reduce the potential pathogens in the environment or in daily use commodities.

Explanation of Solution

Pasteurization is used every day in our lifestyle. It was developed by Louis Pasteur, a French scientist. It is used in dairy, food, and beverage industries. The quality of the food or milk will not be changed, yet the potential pathogens that spoil the food are minimized. This process has the ability to minimize the pathogens, but do not completely remove the pathogen as observed in sterilization. Thus, pasteurized milk also eventually gets spoiled.  

Conclusion

The milk gets spoiled even after pasteurization is discussed.
