Novel Pasteurization Technique Extends Shelf Life of Milk
Not to be confused with UHT and HTST pasteurization techniques, MST combines the effects of a temperature spike with a drop in pressure to accomplish pasteurization in milliseconds

It was only a couple of months ago or so that we featured in this column a novel shear technology, which because of the nature of the process, just happened to provide a degree of sterilization as well. But, suppose you want a process to pasteurize milk without shearing it—while keeping the flavors in and killing any bugs along the way, extending the shelf life beyond ordinary pasteurization.
