Question

The advantages of High Temperature Short Time (HTST) pasteurization are:
(A) Milk packaging can start as soon as pasteurization begins
(B) The capacity can be increased easily by increasing the number of plates
(C) Less chance of accumulation of milk stone in the vat
(D) Large volume of milk may be processed continuously

• A. (A), (B), and (C) only
• B. (A), (B), (C), and (D)
• C. (A), (B), and (D) only
• D. (B) and (D) only

Hint:

HTST pasteurization is preferred for its efficiency and ability to handle large-scale production demands.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

HTST pasteurization is a highly efficient and common milk processing method. It enables immediate packaging post-pasteurization (A). Its modular design allows for simple capacity upgrades via heat exchanger plate additions (B). Moreover, it supports continuous, high-volume milk processing (D), suiting large-scale operations. However, it does not fully prevent milk stone buildup in the vat.
