Ever wonder why milk is pasteurized and homogenized?

Most of us probably buy pasteurised and homogenised milk, but do have any clue what those two words actually mean?

Pasteurization when we heat milk up to a specific temperature for a certain amount of time to kill any disease-causing microorganisms in milk.

Homogenization is a little different. Here we disrupt the fat in the milk to make tiny, microscopic droplets. This prevents the fat from separating from the rest of the liquid.
