When milk is pasteurized, it gets heated and quickly cooled to eliminate certain bacteria. What is the name of the process which breaks up fat particles in milk?

During homogenization, fat molecules in milk are broken down so that they resist separation. While most milk in the United States is homogenized, it's an entirely cosmetic process as nothing is added or taken away from the milk.
