Episode notes
Rapid Gentle Pasteurization Preserves Milk
- Lactologics uses a gentle ultraâhigh temperature tubeâinâtube pasteurization that exposes milk for â¤10 seconds.
- This short exposure kills pathogens while better preserving inherent nutrients compared with 30â45 minute traditional methods.
Countercurrent Tube Design Lowers Heat Stress
- The tubeâinâtube design flows milk and steam in opposite directions to rapidly reach target temperature.
- This countercurrent approach minimizes total heat exposure while achieving pathogen kill.
Screen Donors Rigorously
- Require robust donor screening and substantial surplus to ensure ethical sourcing and supply.
- Lactologics asks donors for physician signâoff and a minimum 500 ounces before qualifying.
