If you try "flash heating breastmilk" instead of the tricky spelling of
pasteurization, you will get to the info and to a better method for treating
donor breast milk. I believe there was very practical information about how to
do flash heating on the Eats on Feets website, which might be a good source of
info for the parents you are working with.
Here is a (quite complicated IMO) poster describing both methods of home
pasteurization and comparing the results and the impact on breastmilk

Subject: breast milk pastuerization
I just love LN!!!! It is so mind boggling to be able to post a question to a
whole world-wide network of LC's....
I have a question that I am sure has been answered in the archives, I just must
be phrasing the search prompts wrong. I am working with a mother of twins who
has been given some donated milk by an aquaintance (hope I spelled that
right...probably why my search failed...bad spelling), not a close friend. She
and her partner are nervous about using the milk since they don't know this
woman's health history and I told them that I would find out about home
pastueriztion for them. How do you do it and how effective is it???? What is the
best site to look this up on????
