Question

Disinfection of beverages, such as apple juice, milk, and wine, is optimally achieved by
A)pasteurization.
B)chlorination.
C)moist heat autoclave.
D)filtration.
E)boiling water.

Accepted Answer

Pasteurization is the optimal method for disinfecting beverages as it uses heat to kill harmful microorganisms while minimizing changes to the taste and nutritional content of the beverage. Chlorination can alter the taste and smell of beverages, moist heat autoclave and boiling water can damage the structural integrity of the beverage, and filtration may not remove all microorganisms.
