Pasteurization equipment is designed to heat liquids, such as milk and juice, to a specific temperature for a set period. This process kills harmful bacteria and extends the product's shelf life without significantly affecting its taste or nutritional value. Common types of pasteurization equipment include batch pasteurizers and continuous flow pasteurizers. These machines are essential in the food and beverage industry, ensuring safety and quality. Louis Pasteur, the scientist after whom the process is named, developed this method in the 19th century. Today, pasteurization is a standard practice in many countries to protect public health.
