On Milk

We now see milk in the shops that will last for more than 2 weeks. According to my mother-in-law, during her earlier times, milk only lasts a couple of days. So what changed now?

I haven't really found much except that most milk these days are pasteurised. It is a process of heating the milk and cooling it down before packaging. It takes some of the nutrients off like Vitamin C but it says to be taking the bacteria away from it. So I deduced that Pasteurisation makes the milk lasts longer. It's just the bacteria that makes the milk spoil earlier.

But have you heard of a collapsable milk jug? It's a new invention that makes the milk last a week longer.


The inventor says that the air in plastic bottles makes the milk spoil easily so this Fresh container can be collapsed when the quantity of milk in the container is is getting low. I'm looking forward to future milk bottles to be collapsible. In this day and age, everything is almost possible and doable - obvious evidence is the sprawling of natural weight loss supplements.
