BY Team Aakash Byju's

The word sterilisation originates from the Latin word sterilis, which means barren.

The process of sterilization is modernized by Nicolas Appert.

Sterilization is a process in which all microorganisms, including the most resistant bacteria and spores, are destroyed.

Pasteurization is a process that helps preserve the milk.

In this process, milk is heated up to 70 degrees Celsius for 15 to 30 seconds and suddenly chilled and stored.

Louis Pasteur discovered the process of pasteurization. Hence it is called pasteurization.

Sterilization and pasteurization both are heating methods.

Both sterilization and pasteurization are used to remove microorganisms.

[{"selector":"#anim-3d13d77b-905b-4b34-9c74-9db242475adf","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b26f394e-054f-47bc-b1e7-c2b9e47f4e92","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Microorganisms are completely eliminated in the sterilization process, including the most resistant bacteria and spores.

[{"selector":"#anim-319f9d09-9da8-41bf-8dec-0501bd327751","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a3f1c0ad-0dad-4c31-b15b-8ef73b6b3b8b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.96816%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In the pasteurization process, microorganisms are removed partially. Most resistant bacteria and spores can not be removed.

[{"selector":"#anim-df0e4b09-2337-4646-8a4d-45e5669817d4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-00610f09-d044-4953-8204-d8340606024b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.96816%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Sterilized food can be stored for a long time, but Pasteurized food can not be stored for a long time without refrigeration.
