Pasteurization of milk is a crucial process in the dairy industry that helps to ensure that milk is safe for human consumption by eliminating harmful bacteria that can cause illnesses. By pasteurizing milk, the dairy industry can reduce the risks of foodborne illnesses and improve the shelf life of milk.
