Best Answer

The two should both be equally safe if processed properly and stored properly.

Pasteurisation is a process to kill pathogens and some spoilage organisms and extends shelflife to about 14 days.

UHT sterilisation kills all organisms in the product and extends shelflife to 6 - 9 months.

Ultra pasteurised milk is simply pasteurized at a higher temperature than typical pasteurization process

The official U.S. government definition for dairy "such product shall have been thermally processed at or above 280° F for at least 2 seconds, either before or after packaging, so as to produce a product which has an extended shelf life under refrigerated conditions."

Well it is, but it won't taste as good as when you first got it because it already went bad

Raw milk (straight from the cow) is pasteurised by heat treatment to kill off as much bacteria as possible.

Are uht milk and homogenized milk same thing?

UHT milk will always be homogenised, but homogenised milk is not always UHT treated. UHT is a heat treatment applied to kill spoilage organisms and extend shelflife. Homogenisation is a process of breaking up large globules of butterfat into many smaller pieces of equal size. This prevents the butterfat from settling out of the milk and creating a cream layer on top of the milk.


What is the term for boxed milk that has a long shelf-life and does not need refrigeration?

UHT = (Ultra High Temperature pasteurization and packing) P>It is called UHT milk, which stands for Ultra Heat Treated. During preparation it is brought almost to boiling point, which kills more bugs than pasteurisation, so the milk 'keeps' for longer than pasteurised milk.


What processed milk has been heated to a higher temperature than regular pasteurized milk to further increase its shelf life?

Any milk labelled as ultra-pasteurised, sterilised or UHT (Ultra High Temperature) treated has been treated to a higher temperature. The time-temperature combination used is adjusted to ensure sterility of the product while keeping good characteristics such as taste and smell intact.


The difference between bacterial count of UHT milk and pasteurised milk?

UHT milk is sterilised at 142°C for 2 - 3 seconds. There should not be more than 10 bacteria per ml of product. Pasteurised milk is heat treated at 72°C for 15 seconds. There should be a maximum of 10000 bacteria per ml of product.

Regular milk that is heat treated to ensure that the product is sterile. UHT treatment can be done indirectly or directly. The direct method uses steam to directly heat the milk. No other ingredients should be used.


Why is UHT milk less bacteria filled than pateurized?

UHT milk goes through a very high heat treatment compared to pasteurisation. The goal of pasteurisation is to reduce bacteria and kill of any pathogens in the milk. This is achieved at relatively low temperature (72°C for 15 seconds). UHT (Ultra Hight Temperature) kills off all bacteria and pathogens at very hight temperature (142°C for 2 seconds).


What keeps UHT milk from going off?

UHT milk is transported more easily as no cold chain is needed. This also makes it easy to import from areas where there is a massive oversupply. It can also be stocked up and sold in times when there are milk shortages.
