Which of the Following Describes Flash Pasteurization

Question

Which of the following describes flash pasteurization?
A) heating at 63°C for 30 minutes
B) heating at 72°C for 15 seconds
C) heating at 72°C for 15 minutes
D) heating at 134°C for one second
E) passing liquid through steam at 140°C

Accepted Answer

Flash pasteurization involves heating a liquid to a high temperature for a short period of time. Option B describes heating at 72°C for 15 seconds, which is consistent with flash pasteurization. Options A and C involve longer heating times at lower temperatures, while option D involves a higher temperature for a shorter period of time, and option E describes a different process altogether.
