Hi All,

 

I'm working on dairy site, we are looking for best practice on what is the temp. time required for hot sterilization, currently we are using 90 deg. C for 5 minutes.

 

Would really appreciate if you could share any reference confirm the best practice.

The temperature and time will depend on the product characteristics, whether it is straight milk or a milk based drink/shake, but you can validate your current temperature and time by doing some incubation tests on a batch of product, and check the  TAPC for gram-ve and gram positive bacteria.
