What Does Pasteursed Mean?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Pasteurization is a process which slows microbial growth in food. The process was named after its creator, French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur. The first pasteurization test was completed by Louis Pasteur and Claude Bernard on April 20, 1864. The process was originally conceived as a way of preventing wine and beer from souring.[1]
    Pasteurization is not intended to kill all pathogenic micro-organisms
    in the food or liquid. Instead, pasteurization aims to reduce the
    number of viable pathogens so they are unlikely to cause disease
    (assuming pasteurization product is stored as indicated and consumed
    before its expiration date). Commercial-scale sterilization of food is
    not common because it adversely affects the taste and quality of the
    product. Certain food products are processed to achieve the state of
    commercial sterility.[2]
