IwasbornonDecember27th1822
inDoleJura,France.Myfamilywas
poorandwedidnthavealotof
money.Notonlythatwewerealso
lowonresources.SometimesIwas
jealousofthepeoplewhowererich

caneatandlive.WhenIwasyoung,peoplelivinginthetime
believedthatgermscouldjustappear,outoftheairorina
livingmatter.Itwasamysteryinthe19thcentury.Peoplealso
didntknowthatthereweregermsinthefoodtheyateandthey
drank.Andeventhoughtheyknewaboutaboutittheydidntknow
howtosolvetheproblem.AnywaysduringmyelementaryyearsI
wasntreallyintostudyinginschoolbutIreallylikedfishing
anddrawing.WhenIwentfishingIlovedtheviewoftheriver

somyfamilycangetsomethingtoeat.

AftercompletingmydegreesinLettersandMathematical
Sciences,IjoinedthemosthonoredFrenchUniversitycalled
EcoleNormaleSuperieureinParisforGraduation.WhenIwas25
(1847)Icompletedmydegreeforscience.Itsometimeswashard
formetounderstand,butsinceIwasinterestedtothetopic
Sciencemostlyitwaseasytounderstand.NotlonglaterIwas
chosenasaphysicsprofessorattheDijonHighSchoolin1848
andlaterImovedtotheUniversityofStrasbourgasaprofessor
ofchemistry.

WhenIwaschosentobeaprofessorIwasveryexcitedtoteach
myknowledgeaboutphysicstostudentswhodidntknowalot.

In1849,onMay29IgotmarriedtoMarieandwehad5
children.WhenIhadkidsof

TyphoidFever.Iwasverysadand
miserable.Iwasalsoveryangry
andIwantedtodestroythegerm
thatcausethefever.Icouldnt
stopthinkingaboutit.Thisledmetostudyingaboutgerms.
From1847to1862Iwasachemistandaphysicist.Imostly
studiedaboutorganiccrystals.WhenIlookedatthecrystals
theywereverybrightanditwaslikestarsglowing.And
sometimesIevenlosttrackofmyworkbecauseoflookingatthe
crystals.ThiswascalledCrystallography.

Nextfrom18621877Imostlylookedatgermsinfoodand

ThisprocessiscalledPasteurization,aftermy
name.Pasteurizationmademilksafertodrink,andtheUnited
StatesFoodandDrugAdministration(FDA)begantopasslawsto
requireit.Iadmiredtheideaaboutrequiringlawsfor
Pasteurization.Bythe1950sanydairyproductthatweregoing
tobesoldacrossstatelineshadtobepasteurized.WhenI
pasteurizedmilkmymethodinvolvedheatingliquidsinlarge
vatsofperiodsupto30minutes.ThisiscalledLowtemperature
LongTime(LTLT).Nowadayspeopleusuallyheattheliquidtoa

TemperatureShortTimePasteurization(HTST).

PeoplesaythatHTSTisbetterthanmywayofmaintainingthe

Pasteurizationisnotjustatype.Thereare3differenttypes.
ThefirstoneiscalledPasteurizedMilkwhichisheatedupto
72degreesforabout15seconds.Thiscanonlystayinthe
Fridgefor2weeks.TheSecondtypeiscalledUltraPasteurized
Milkwhichisheateduptoa138degreesfor2seconds.Thiscan

UltraHighTemperaturePasteurizationwhichisheatedupto150
degreesfor1to2seconds.Ifitispackagedwellitcanstay

therearenowadaysmilkcalledPasteurMilk.
