Pasteurization’s Effect on Milk Richness and Cream Volume
The article explains that fat and other milk solids provide about half the food value, with cream volume shaping perceived richness. Pasteurization above 145 F lowers cream content and misleads on richness, though fat remains and digestibility changes. Between 120 and 145 F, cream volume in bottled milk is not significantly reduced.
