Pasteurization is the process of killing bacteria in foods by application of heat. Milk, for example, is quickly heated to a near boiling temperature, then quickly cooled again before the taste and other desirable properties are affected. The process was named after its inventor, French scientist Louis Pasteur. See also dairy products.
