Pasteurisation By UV Light Soon In The UK
Up to now, pasteurization of milk has been done by the thermal process in the UK but now it looks like a new way to do this could mean a lot of savings when it comes to energy. The dairy industry in the UK held talks to see how they could reduce the amount of energy that is being used for pasteurization today. What has emerged is that UV technology could be a good alternative which saves money as well as is environmentally friendly.
How will the milk get pasteurized? The waves of light act on the milk and make render the microbes unable to reproduce. It has been used fairly successfully in other industries like fruit juices, wine and syrups.
