Abstract

Preserving milk for extended periods is challenging, and high temperatures during pasteurization can degrade milk content. Proper pasteurization destroys non-spore-forming pathogenic bacteria. However, thermal pasteurization does not eliminate all bacteria. To address this limitation, Ohio State University has introduced a non-thermal pasteurization method using pulse electric field (PEF). PEF is an innovative cold pasteurization technique that kills or inactivates microorganisms and inhibits enzyme activity in milk. This emerging technology offers a lucrative approach to food preservation.
