Excerpt from Pasteurization and Milk Preservation: With a Chapter on the City Milk SupplyHowever, we must take the conditions as we find them, and it is far better to pasteurize the milk than to use any of the different preservatives if it is desired to keep the milk sweet longer than is possible by simple cleanliness and ice.Chemical preservatives of whatsoever name and however harmless for preserving other foods, should never be used in milk, as the latter may be given to infants, while the other foods are chie¿y used by adults.It seems to me that even if strict prohibition laws are not enforced, every milk producer, every milk dealer ought to have enough conscience to prevent them from using a preservative which may make them guilty of manslaughter.Nor is there any excuse for using chemical preservatives, as pasteurization will do all that they can do, and more.It is well, however, to understand clearly that pasteuriza tion should not be confused with sterilization. The latter, to be perfect, involves the heating of the milk to such a high de. Gree (240° to that it practically destroys it for com mercial purposes, and even where a somewhat lower tempera ture is used, (212° to there is sufficient boiled ¿avor to make it more or less unpopular. Nor should the simple heat ing of the milk without cooling be termed pasteurization, which requires both heating and immediate cooling.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
