Abstract
Pasteurization of milk was accomplished using microwaves (2450 MHz) as the energy source in a continuous heating apparatus with two-stage regeneration. Treatment was 72 C for 15 sec. Adequacy of pasteurization was measured by phosphatase tests and bacterial plate counts and results were compared to those of controls treated 62.8 C for 30 min. A triangle taste panel found no significant difference between microwave pasteurized milk and the control.Keywords
