What does pasteurisation mean?
The process of heating a liquid, such as milk or juice, to a high temperature, usually around 161°F (72°C), to kill off bacteria and extend its shelf life, while also preventing the growth of new bacteria.
Example
"The dairy factory uses pasteurisation to ensure the milk is safe for consumption."
