Question

If Fruit Juice : Sodium Benzoate, Milk : __________ Smoking Pasteurization Sun drying Vinegar​

Answer 1

If fruit juice is equivalent to sodium benzoate then milk is equivalent to (b) pasteurization.

(b) Pasteurization- correct option

• Sodium benzoate when used in fruit juices helps in preserving the juice.
• Pasteurization in a similar way helps in preserving milk for longer periods.
• Milk is subjected to a mild heating process known as pasteurization in order to destroy microorganisms and increase shelf life.
• The milk is first heated to very high temperature and then immediately cooled down to chilling temperature.
• Hence, this option is correct.

(a) Smoking- incorrect option

• Smoking milk will just add a smoky flavor to milk and no other change.
• This will not help in preserving milk.
• Hence this option is incorrect.

(c) Sun drying- incorrect option

• If we sun dry milk, it will just evaporate.
• That will leave behind nothing.
• Hence, this is an incorrect option.

(d) Vinegar- incorrect option

• Vinegar has acidic nature, so if we add it to milk, the milk will be spoilt.
• It won't act as a preservative.
• We use vinegar when we want to make cheese or paneer.
• Hence, this option is incorrect.
