Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
The milk that
lasts for months
There are
many kinds of milk. Whole, low-fat and non-fat by fat content. Enriched or
flavored by added ingredient. Also, fresh, pasteurized or UHT, ultra-heat-treated
by preservation method.
The most popular
type of milk in US, Australia and New Zealand is pasteurized milk, which is
heated at 72 degrees Celsius for about 15 seconds before packed. Though this
preservation method kills most of the bacteria in the milk, the shelf life of
the pasteurized milk goes no longer than two weeks.
However, milk
sold in most of the European countries is UHT processed, which lasts much
longer than pasteurized milk even at the room temperatures. UHT milk is heated
at a much higher temperature for a shorter time than pasteurized milk to kill
most of the harmful bacteria. Sounds very advantageous, doesn’t it?
So why not
everyone drinks or uses this more advantageous milk than others?
Enjoy reading
and thinking why people are so sensitive to milk.
