Pasteurization:
In the pasteurization process, the appropriate temperature and time are used to destroy all pathogenic microbes and have minimal impact on reducing the nutritional value of milk. Pasteurization has various methods, the rapid high-heat method being used in the industry. In this method, the raw milk received after passing the initial control stages, passing through the filter, fat standardization, and homogenization is exposed to a temperature of 75 to 78 degrees Celsius for 15 seconds and then immediately cooled to a temperature of less than 5 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, all pathogenic microbes in the milk are destroyed and about 90 percent of non-pathogenic bacteria are also destroyed.

Shelf life of pasteurized milk:
The shelf life of pasteurized milk is limited to a few days and must be kept in the refrigerator from the time of production until consumption. In Iran, pasteurized milk is usually produced with a shelf life of 2 to 5 days and must always be kept in the refrigerator during this period.

Homogenization of milk:
Homogenized milk is milk whose fat has been mechanically crushed and turned into small and small particles. For homogenization, the milk is heated to 55 to 60 degrees Celsius and passed through filters with very fine pores under very high pressure. After this stage, pasteurization of the milk is essential because otherwise the lipase enzyme in the milk changes its taste. One of the special advantages of homogenized milk is the uniformity of the fat in it and the improvement of the taste of the milk. Click to prepare Pakban milk.

Can pasteurized products be consumed after the expiration date on the packaging?

Pasteurized products have a limited shelf life, but depending on the storage and packaging conditions, they may remain with slight changes longer than expected. However, it is better to consume pasteurized products with caution after the expiration date and ensure that there are no possible undesirable changes in their appearance, taste, smell and color.

Is milk fat necessary and essential for the body and for which age group is milk fat recommended? Milk fat is very easily digested in the body due to the short chain of its fatty acids. Vitamins A, D, K, and E are fat-soluble, and if milk fat is separated, these vitamins also become unavailable. Fat plays a major role in the body's energy production. Sugars and proteins cannot be as energy-producing as fat. The energy obtained from fat is approximately 2 times the energy of sugars or proteins. Milk fat is of particular importance because it contains essential fatty acids for the body. 50 percent of the energy in whole milk comes from the fats in it. Studies show that milk fat plays a major role in preventing breast cancer in women. Consumption of milk and its high-fat products such as cream, butter, cream cheese, etc. is especially recommended for children and adolescents because it provides the energy and fat-soluble vitamins needed by their bodies, and low-fat products are recommended for adults and the elderly.

What types of products are probiotic products?
Millions of beneficial bacteria live in the human digestive system, which play an important role in the efficiency of the immune system and the digestion and absorption of food. These beneficial bacteria are called probiotics. In probiotic products, these beneficial bacteria multiply and are consumed. In addition to their normal nutritional value, these products also have defined therapeutic or other nutritional properties that are added to the previous properties. Probiotic products contain beneficial bacteria that settle in the intestinal tract after consumption and have beneficial effects on human health. Probiotics are consumed in two ways: one as food supplements in the form of powder, syrup or tablets, and the other as foods enriched with probiotics. If probiotic bacteria are used in the production of any fermented dairy product such as yogurt, the resulting product is called probiotic. Click to prepare Pakban probiotic yogurt.

What effects does probiotic yogurt have on the human body?
Maintaining the balance of intestinal microflora
Producing vitamin K and folic acid
Increasing the absorption of calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium and phosphorus in the body.
Increasing the metabolism of vitamins and proteins
