With regard to temperature of operation, place the following unit operations in sequence in an increasing order of temperature:
(i) Sterilisation
(ii) Thermisation
(iii) Homogenisation
(iv) Bactofugation and
(v) HTST pasteurization.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Show Hint
To easily order thermal processes, remember their primary biological goals:
1. Physical separation (Bactofugation) requires the lowest heat.
2. Quality extension (Thermisation) requires mild heat.
3. Pathogen destruction (Pasteurization) requires medium heat.
4. Spore destruction (Sterilisation) requires the highest heat.
