Pasteurizing is the process of bringing it up to a set temperature for a set amount of time (varies depending on product) to kill bacteria. This extends shelf life and makes product lore risk for pathogen

Specifically egg yolk is pasteurized for use in dressings and sauces where it may not be fully cooked (hollandaise sauce, Caesar dressing)
