  3. Heating milk or other liquids to 60$^o$C to 70$^o$C for short duration

  4. A technique of curing people bitten by mad dogs

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pasteuriziation is the process of sterilization. In this, packaged and non-packaged milk and other liquids are heated with mild heat, that is 60$^o$C to 70$^o$C for short duration in order to eliminate pathogens and extend shelf-life. The process was first developed by Louis Pasteur in 1864.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Heating milk or other liquids to 60$^o$C to 70$^o$C for short duration.'

Which one among the following causes food poisoning?

  1. Clostridium botulinum

  2. Salmonella typhosa

  3. Clostridium tetani

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Food poisoning is caused by Clostridium botulinum. Botulism is a life-threatening bacterial disorder that is caused by Clostridium botulinum. It grows on food and produces neurotoxin, botulinum toxin that causes paralysis. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Clostridium botulinum.'

  1. Sterilization

  2. Pasteurisation

  3. Nitrification

  4. Freezing

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pasteurization is the process of sterilization. In this, packaged and non-packaged food items are heated at 62$^o$C for 30 minutes and then cooled. This is done in order to eliminate pathogens and extend the shelf-life of food. This process frees food materials from vegetative forms of all pathogenic bacteria. This method was introduced by Louis Pasteur.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Pasteurization.'

  1. Kill bacteria and other pathogens

  2. Kill viruses

  3. Kill bacteria and enzymes

  4. Inactive enzymes

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sterilization by autoclaving is carried out to kill bacteria and other pathogens present in the food, equipment, and materials. In this, a pressurized steam is applied with the heat of 121$^0$C for around 15–20 minutes to kill bacteria, spores, and other pathogens.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Kill bacteria and other pathogens.'

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Answer is option D "Heated well below boiling point for 20-30 minutes"
Pasteurization process eliminates pathogens and increase shelf-life of milk and liquids. Vat pasteurization process heats milk and liquids below boiling temperature for 20-30 minutes and is used primarily in the dairy industry for preparing milk for making starter cultures in the processing of cheese, yogurt, buttermilk and for pasteurizing some ice cream mixes.
