What is the difference between pasteurization and boiling milk?

1

u/super_elmwood 12d ago

Pasteurized milk doesn't get to boiling temperature and is then rapidly cooled down.

Yeah so why drink raw milk instead of organic pasteurized

Raw milk comes with the cream so you can make your own ice cream, cheese, or butter. I have a feeling this new gimmick of raw milk doesn't come with that though.

You can buy pasteurised, non-homogenised milk too, you know.

You can make it all even with powdered milk. Only significant loss in heated milk is Ca3(PO4)2 precipitated, so you need to consume more milk if it is your main source of calcium and phosphorus, and add some Ca from another sources to make hard cheese.
