Pasteurization of milk

The credit for discovering the pasteurization process goes to the French scientist/microbiologist, Louis Pasteur, who, in the 1860s discovered that the bacteria that cause the spoilage of beer and wine can be killed by sufficiently heating the beer and wine, and such heating prevents the beer and wine becoming sour. Later, this method was adopted for milk.
