Fresh milk, when just squeezed out, may contain harmful bacteria (due to the process of milking from cows, goats, sheep... which may be an issue of hygiene during milk collection, or the milking subject itself may be ill), so experts advise against drinking this milk directly but rather through pasteurization or sterilization:
- Pasteurized fresh milk is usually processed at high temperatures (from 140 - 143 degrees Celsius) for a short period of 3 - 4 seconds. Therefore, the product can be stored at normal temperatures and usually has a shelf life of 6 months to a year.
- Ultra-pasteurized fresh milk is processed at lower temperatures (75 degrees Celsius) for about 30 seconds, then rapidly cooled to 4 degrees Celsius. Because it is processed at just the right temperature, ultra-pasteurized fresh milk retains almost all of the important vitamins, minerals found in raw milk and still ensures the characteristic delicious flavor of natural fresh cow's milk. However, ultra-pasteurized fresh milk must be stored at 2-6 degrees Celsius continuously to control bacterial growth and used within a short period of time.
Therefore, most fresh milk products on the market today are ultra-pasteurized milk to ensure a balance between nutritional factors and shelf life to ensure consumption, produced from the market.
