Pasteurisation
We continue our exploration of frequently used, traditional food processing techniques with a look at pasteurisation. This is an extremely useful method of eliminating potentially harmful microorganisms and is used for a range of liquid products. The video mentions ‘pathogens’, which are a group of microorganisms that cause disease in humans.
