What would happen to peach juice if we apply heat at >135 oc to it such as in the use of an autoclave?
Correct Answer:
It would become sterile
Rationale:
💥 It would become sterile — This is correct because heating peach juice above 135 °C (such as in an autoclave) kills all microorganisms, including spores, thereby achieving sterilization—
💥 It would just be filtered — This is incorrect because heat does not filter; filtration is a separate physical method of removing microbes without heat—
💥 It becomes agitated — This is incorrect because agitation refers to physical mixing or shaking, not the effect of high-temperature sterilization—
