Pasteurization is the process of disinfecting water by heat or radiation, short of boiling. Typical water pasteurization achieves the same effect as boiling, but at a lower temperature (usually 65-75°C), over a longer period of time.
A thermometer or indicator is needed to tell when sufficient temperature is reached for pasteurization. Common devices for monitoring the water temperature use either beeswax, which melts at 62°C, or soya bean fat, which melts at 69°C. A simple device known as the Water Pasteurization Indicator (WAPI) has been developed at the University of California.
