What is the difference between fermentation and pasteurization?

∙ 9y ago
asteurization is a method of heating milk for example to a high heat (185 or more) in order to quickly kill *all* micro-organisms in it.
Fermentation for food (again for milk, but there are other kinds of fermentation) is a method for allowing certain "good" bacteria to grow so that they can begin eating the natural milk sugar (lactose) in milk and turn it into lactic acid (to make yogurt, etc).
The bacteria have an optimal temperature for growing (around 115-120 or so)-- too high a heat like the high temp required for pasteurization would kill them. That's why when yogurt is made, any pasteurization or heating-for-extra-thickness will have to happen before the particular yogurt bacteria/starter are added to the milk.

Fermentation: controlled processing of foods using yeasts or bacteria.

Why does milk still ferment even though it is pasteurized?
Pasteurization doesn't remove all of the bacteria in it. Only sterilization will. Pasteurization will slow down the fermentation process for a while.
What is the main difference between respiration and fermentation?
respiration uses oxygen
What is the difference between fermentation and assimilation?
fermentation is f e r m e .... but assimilation is a s s i m i .......... do you understand?
What is the relationship between pasteurization and disease?
The relationship between pasteurization and disease is that Louis Pasteur who created the vaccine for polio, learned that microorganisms cause disease in humans. That is the relationship between pasteurization and disease.
How are lactic acid fermentation and alchoholic fermentation similar?
Alcohol fermentation and lactic acid fermentation are similar because glucose is oxidized to two molecules of pyruvic acid. The difference between them is that alcohol fermentation yield two molecules of ATP also.
Is it true that the main difference between respiration and fermentation is that fermentation does not use water?
no
Who is Dr.Thomas Welch?
He was the discoverer of the pasteurization process to prevent the fermentation of grape juice.
What is the difference between respiration to fermentation?
Respiration uses oxygen, fermentation doesn't.
Why does milk still ferment even though it is pasteurized?
Pasteurization doesn't remove all of the bacteria in it. Only sterilization will. Pasteurization will slow down the fermentation process for a while.
What is the difference between Lactic acid fermentation and Aerobic equation?
The main difference between lactic acid fermentation and aerobic equation is the presence of oxygen. Lactic acid fermentation does not require oxygen, while in aerobic equation, oxygen is present.
What is pastuerization?
Pasteurization is the process in which heat is being used to remove fermentation growing inside a food or beverage
What is the difference between fermented and brewed or can they be synonyms?
Brewing is a kind of fermentation.
What is the main difference between respiration and fermentation?
respiration uses oxygen
What is the difference between distillation and fermentation?
what is the difference between fermentation and distillation? Distillation- the separation of alcohol from a fermented liquid by heating to vaportize the alcohol, then condensing the vapors. Fermentation- The action of yeast upon sugar in a solution, which breaks down the sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol
What are the accomplishments Louis Pasteur did?
he is a chemist and biologist whose discovery that fermentation is caused by microorganisms resulted in the process of pasteurization
What are the contribution of Louis Pasteur in chemistry?
- discovering the mechanism of fermentation- discovering the mechanism of pasteurization- structure of tartaric acid
What is the difference between fermentation and assimilation?
fermentation is f e r m e .... but assimilation is a s s i m i .......... do you understand?
