Pasteurization is a heat-treatment method in which foods are treated with mild heat, inorder to kill pathogenic microorganisms and increase the shelf life of the food. The three types of pasteurization methods used to sterilize foods are; flash pasteurization (a short time treatment which involves a high temperature), steam pasteurization, and irradiation pasteurization (which involves the use of small amounts of gamma rays).
