The major preservatives in dairy products are sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, and natamycin. Fresh milk has a very low shelf life, therefore they tend to add preservatives to prolong the shelf life. Chemicals such as; hydrogen peroxide, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, water, neutralizers, melamine, boric acid, formaldehyde, antibiotics etc. are used. The reason as to why they do that is to make sure that it does not lose its taste and flavor over a period of time, completely ignoring the fact as to what damage it can cause to one’s health. One of the possible and common harmful effect of adding preservatives is the breathing problems it causes (asthma and bronchitis). It can also cause problems in younger children, such as their hyperactive behavior caused due to the dealers not knowing what might cause reaction and affect the child.

HERE ARE A FEW TIPS AS TO HOW THE FOOD IN YOUR KITCHEN SHOULD BE HANDLED PROPERLY

Cleanliness is very important. Washing hands and the surfaces to be used should be clean. The person who has to cook or is even minutely a part of the process should wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with warm water before and after handling food or after any other work (going to the bathroom, handling pets etc. utensils, cutting boards, dishes in the food has to be served should be washed with hot soapy water. Using paper towels can be considered, to rinse fruits and veggies under tap water. Also with canned goods it’s important to clean lids before opening.




The second step is to separate, raw meats, poultry, sea food, eggs from other things purchased in the shopping cart, grocery bags. Use one cutting board for fresh for fresh produce and a separate one for raw meat, poultry and sea food. Never keep food on a plate that has already been used previously for raw meat and poultry unless it has been washed properly. Also, don’t reuse marinades on raw foods unless you bring them to boil first.




Furthermore, cooking at the right temperature is very important. Cooking food at a safe minimum internal temperature to ensure that the harmful bacteria has been destroyed. Also, to bring gravy and sauces to boil when reheating is important. Other than this refrigerating foods promptly is equally important. Also never to thaw food at room temperature. Three basic ways to defrost is by; keeping it in the refrigerator, in cold water or in the microwave oven. Food that is thawed in microwave or in cold water should immediately be cooked. Marination should be done thoroughly. In case of any leftovers, the food should be stored in shallow containers for quicker cooling.

Milk is nutrient rich beverage and the most common drink packed with vital vitamins and nutrients such as; calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B, potassium and vitamin D. It also prevents one from problems such as osteoporosis, fractures and has therapeutic effects. In local and international markets both UHT and Pasteurized Milk are kept on shelves. Also, it’s different in all countries since consumption habitats differ. Among both, UHT milk has a dominant edge over the other because it’s safer, convenient and has a higher nutritional value as compared to pasteurized milk.




Pasteurization is a low-temperature sterilization method invented in 1865 by a French named Pasteur. Pasteurized milk is sterilized by heating at 72-85°C for 10-15 seconds.UHT: Ultra High Temperature. Milk is heated by ultra-high temperature of 135-145°C and kept for 2-4 seconds for sterilization.




High temperature treatment affects and denatures the protein present in the milk therefore loss of protein in UHT milk is higher. Also, soluble calcium is difficult to be absorbed by the body when the milk is ultra-heat treated. The shelf life of pasteurized milk is for a few days which is why the market coverage of such milk is limited. Whereas, the UHT milk reaches its sterile state therefore it can not only be transported but kept in store for a longer period of time, that too at room temperature. Also, the shelf life is 3-4 months therefore in terms of convenience UHT milk is safer and better.




Pasteurized milk and UTM milk are originally different products for different consumer groups. Although there are slight differences in nutrition and taste, they are not worlds apart. Which one to buy depends on individual needs.




If you have a large refrigerator at home and shopping is convenient, you might as well choose pasteurized milk.




If you often go out or like to stock up on food at home, then UTM milk may be more suitable for you. The shelf life is long enough. When you remember to drink, it is estimated that it has not expired.
