What is the difference between pasteurised and long life milk?
The difference between pasteurised and long life milk is the method of processing. Pasteurised milk is heated to 74°C for 15 seconds. Long life milk is heated to 140°C for 2 seconds and then packaged aseptically. The increased temperature at which long life milk is treated results in a greater reduction in bacteria and heat resistant enzymes in comparison to milk that undergoes pasteurisation.
