A high temperature, short time heating system and method for the pasteurization and/or sterilization of heat sensitive biological fluids, which method comprises: adding a dielectric enhancing additive to the biological fluid; subjecting the biological fluid to microwave energy to heat rapidly the biological fluid for a short time period to a pasteurizing or sterilization temperature; cooling the biological fluid; optionally removing the dielectric enhancing additive; and recovering an aseptic biological fluid.
