Electric Current U Used ed To Pa Pasteurize Pasteurise Milk You may be drinking milk these days which has been pasteurized not by heat from Irom fire but by the p passage age of an electric current For apparatus which guarantees tho the safety fety of milk In this electrical manner has already been installed in 17 plants in six eix states and two foreign countries and has las a dally daily output of approximately gallons Professor C. C G. G King of the University of f Pittsburgh reported reported re reo ported to the Electrochemical society Because of Its mineral salts milk readily conducts electricity At the same time time- the liquid offers enough resistance to the passage of at current to cause the electricity to give up heat to lo the milk The possibility of ot an electrical or electrochemical effect upon bacteria in Ln addition to the heat effect has hu been considered Dr King said but at present there is 19 no clear evidence from rom which tho the question can be an Uniform heating accounts for tor or the major effect however and it therefore seems preferable to consider consid consid- er tentatively tho the entire bacterial effect ef d. ef- ef feet due to heating
