Invention of pasteurization process
Pasteurization is named for the French scientist Louis Pasture. He invented the process of pasteurization.
Louis Pasteur was on born 27th December 1822, at Dole, France. He died on 28th September 1895, at Saint Cloud near Paris.
In 1856, at the age of 34 years Louis Pasteur began his fourth year as the Head of Sciences at the University of Lille in France.
His research showed the role that microorganisms play in spoiling milk, beer, wine and other beverages and his invention of the pasteurization process to kill the bacteria that caused so much sickness in human tremendously boosted human longevity.
Although he first experimented with this process in 1862, pasteurization was not put to use until the early twenty century.
In the United States pasteurization was championed by Alice Catherine Evans (1881-1975), a microbiologist who worked for the US department of Agriculture.
Nowadays, most pasteurized milk is produced by processing through plate heat exchangers.
