The correct answer is option 1, Pasteurisation. Pasteurisation is a heat treatment process that is applied to milk to stabilize and remove disease-causing bacteria. During pasteurisation, milk is heated to a specific temperature (usually between 60-85 degrees Celsius) for a certain period of time. This kills the harmful bacteria present in the milk, such as Salmonella and E. coli, without significantly affecting the taste and nutritional properties of the milk. Pasteurisation helps to make milk safe for consumption by reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses. It is a widely used process in the dairy industry and is essential for maintaining the safety and quality of milk products.
