 This is especially true when stirred occasionally. If heated too

to the high temperature and stirred excessively during the 

 intermittent pasteurization, the butter-fat tends to melt and 

 run together, and show itself on the top of the cream in the 

 form of an oily layer. 



2. The continuous method of pasteurization is more practical 

 for large amounts of milk or cream. It is used almost without

 at creameries. Neither one of the two systems destroys spores. 

 The intermittent system is the most effective because both
