Prolacta, also located in Southern California, holds the patent for the  
proprietary pasteurization
process that includes exposing donated milk to  short-time, high-temperature
pasteurization that kills unwanted bacteria  while preserving elements
necessary for nutritional  benefit. 
 
How did they get a patent for a process that women have been using for a  
hundred years to can our green beans?
How will they having this patent affect the operation of other Milk  Banks?
