What best describes the processes of pasteurization and ultra-pasteurization of milk? Pasteurization raises the temperature to approximately 72° C for 15 seconds, slowly ramping up the temperature, while ultra-pasturization raises the temperature to 72° very fast to shock the contaminating microbes. Pasteurization raises the temperature to approximately 72° C for 1 minute while ultra-pasturization raises the temperature to approximately 72° C for 3 minutes. Pasteurization only uses heat while ultra- pasturization uses both heat and irradiation. Pasteurization raises the temperature to approximately 72° C for 15 seconds while ultra-pasturization raises the temperature well above the boiling point but for a shorter time before rapidly cooling it.
