These days, people are very conscious of the food they eat, and luckily, there are plenty of methods for ensuring safe consumption. What is the name of the process which involves heating a liquid or food to kill pathogenic bacteria?

Pasteurization is the process by which certain liquids and foods are treated with mild heat to destroy pathogens and extend shelf life. We most commonly associate pasteurization with dairy products, but many beers, syrups, canned foods, and juices are also pasteurized.
