Pasteurization is the use of heat to sterilize food products, reducing pathogenic/spoilage bacteria to a safe level. It is not a process that uses intense cold or radiation to kill microorganisms on foods.
Suman K.
Pasteurization is a method to reduce pathogenic and spoilage-causing microbes in food. How does it work? Raise the temperature to 65°C for 30 minutes. Raise the temperature to 100°C for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 10°C for 30 minutes. Bubbling chlorine gas through liquid for 30 minutes. Exposure to ionizing radiation for minutes.

Standard pasteurization methods are used to reduce microbes that cause disease or spoilage.
