Can milk be autoclaved?

Male  29 years old 2018-06-11
The child should drink milk every night. I worry that the milk will not be cleaned properly, so I boil it in the pot and give it to the child. Can it be sterilized like this?

    In general, it is not recommended to sterilize milk at high temperature, because the temperature requirements for milk sterilization are not high, it takes 3 minutes at 70 degrees and 6 minutes at 60 degrees. If boiled, the temperature reaches 100 degrees, the lactose in milk will be caramelized, and caramel can cause cancer. Secondly, the calcium in milk will precipitate phosphoric acid after boiling, thereby reducing the nutritional value of milk.
