Louis Pasteur
Louis Pasteur is a French chemist and
bacteriologist, who contributed and was important in many fields of natural
sciences, such as chemistry and microbiology. He
was born on December 27, 1822 and died on September 28, 1895, at the age of 72
years. He is responsible for the well-known technique called Pasteurization.
Through experiments he definitively refuted the theory of spontaneous
generation and developed the germinal theory of infectious diseases.
Louis Pasteur was an average student in his
early years but was gifted for drawing and painting. His cakes and portraits of
his parents and friends, made when he was 15 years old, are preserved in the
Museum of the Pasteur Institute in Paris.He obtained his Bachelor of Arts
degree (1840) and Bachelor of Science (1842) at the École Normale Supér I consider Louis Pasteur, someone fundamental for the field of science
and especially for the field of food with his method of pasteurization. After
briefly serving as a professor of physics at Dijon Lycée in 1848, he became
professor of chemistry at the University of Strasbourg.
his best-known experiment is that of pasteurization, treatment of wine,
beer and milk to prevent it from causing diseases. It consists of eliminating
microorganisms that can degrade wine, beer or milk, after enclosing the liquid
in well-sealed vats and raising its temperature to 44 degrees Celsius for a
short time.
