Pasteur's experiments found that bad wine contained harmful microorganisms that good wine did not. He saw that it is possible to keep the wine for a long time and its quality remains intact by heating the wine at a certain temperature for a certain time to destroy these harmful microorganisms. This process is named pasteurization after Louis Pasteur . There are two method of pasteurization . Low Temperature High Time Method (LTHT) : In this method, the liquid material is heated at 62.80 degree Celsius for 30 minutes and stored. High Temperature Short Time Method (HTST) : In this method, the liquid is heated for 15 seconds at 71.70 degree Celsius and stored. Currently, alcohol is sterilized and stored commer...
