flash pasteurization

[Guest guest]

As you know, almost all of the juices you can buy off the shelf these

days, such as Columbia Gorge, Happy Planet & Odwalla etc, are " flash "

pasteurized. Does this mean they are not raw, or does the " flash "

pasteurization leave some enzymes still intact?

 

 

Thanks, and it was good to meet some of you at Sunday's potluck,

Hi Paul, Flash pasteurization happens faster than regular

pasteurization, and also at a lower temperature. I don't know if it

is better or worse than regular pasteurization. I personally don't

think that it is live or raw. There is also Ultrpasteurization, which

is I believe for a shorter time period than Regular but at a much

higher temp, you will usually notice a much longer shelf life on

those products which is also a clue as to the 'life' (or lack

thereof) left in the juice. Here is one link about it (consider the

source):
