  • This work was to determine the quality changes of milk with respect to the chemical components when HTST pasteurized by microwave energy. Raw milk was HTST pasteurized $(at\;72^{\circ}C\;for\;15\;sec)$ by three methods; by heating in a stainless steel tube immersed in a hot water bath (MP0), by heating in a microwave cavity to a desired temperature and then holding in a hot water bath (MP1) and by both heating and holding in a microwave cavity (MP2). There were no significant differences in pH and titratable acidity before and after pasteurization and among the different pasteurization methods. MP1 or MP2 showed better retention or less destruction than MP0 with respect to vitamin A, vitamin $B_1$, ascorbic acid and lysine content. The higher retention of nutrients of the MP1 or MP2 supports the possibility of using microwave energy for the pasteurization of milk and other fluid food products.
