Milk borne diseases in developing countries leads to millions of deaths and billions of illnesses annually. Milk
disinfection is one of several interventions that can improve public health, especially if part of a broad program
that considers all disease transmission routes and sustainable involves the community. A solar milk pasteurizer
(SMP) was fabricated to investigate the potential of using solar energy to pasteurize naturally milk. The milk
samples from different animals were collected and were used for the inactivation of microbes. This
experimentation was done on temperature ranging from 65°C to 75°C. During present research the maximum
ambient air temperature was 40°C .The base and inner space temperature were recorded and they were found to
have values 85°C and 75°C respectively. The SMP was easily attained pasteurization temperature. This solar
milk pasteurizer was also use for water pasteurization. It provides a practical, low-cost milk pasteurizer for the
improvement of drinking milk quality in developing countries like Pakistan.
