Sterilizing Milk Cans by Steam and Chlorine Methods
The Dominion Agricultural Bacteriologist report notes steam under pressure as the preferred method for sterilizing dairy utensils at Central Experimental Farm Dairy Ottawa. A trial from Aug 3 1932 compared hypochlorite solution with steam, using 5 pounds pressure for 20 or 30 minutes, on 142 cans and 143 bottles. Results show hypochlorite less effective, especially on bottles, though it offers convenience and lower cost. Contamination levels ranged up to 122 per cc for cans and 165 per cc for bottles, making the difference substantial.
