What Does HTST Stand For?

HTST stands for High Temperature Short Time

HTST, or High Temperature Short Time, refers to a food processing method that involves heating food products to a high temperature for a brief period. This technique is commonly used in the dairy industry, particularly for pasteurizing milk and other liquids, to effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms while preserving the product's taste, nutritional value, and quality. HTST pasteurization enhances food safety and extends shelf life without the need for prolonged heating.
