The method includes sterilizing the milk using a coun- tercurrent heating process. The temperature of the milk is raised to a target tem- perature for a duration of time that is refined to provide a sterilized human milk product with low overall bioburden while also maintaining nutritional quality. As such, the sterilized milk product is suitable for ingestion by premature infants. loo Bacterial clarifier — = 115 = — _ = = Milk Standardizes = 120 = = Fortifier 125 11 Milk Sterilizer 130 IN 7 -8ti.r.zed Human Milk Product © \.. \..., -- 175 ___ 11 FIG.
