    Pasteurization curves work at 120f for most things but most people would prefer a higher temperature because they want the protein denaturing and collagen breakdown that occurs at higher temps (resulting in a slightly firmer texture)

      The necessary internal temp is still strongly affected by both the type of meat, as well as known infectious diseases that will grow in different foods.

      Pasteurization also has very specific context…

      So, color me not convinced!
