Q:

What is the temperature of thermisation for milk?

A) 125 – 138°C B) 115 – 120°C
C) 63°C D) 63 – 65°C
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 63 – 65°C

Explanation: Ultra-pasteurization temperature is 125 – 138°C for 2-4 seconds. Sterilization of milk in container is 115 – 120°C for 20-30 minutes. LTLT pasteurization of milk is 63°C for 30 minutes and for thermisation it is 63 – 65°C for 15 seconds.
