Question

explain the process curd formation?

plz answer​

Answer 1

Curd is a dairy product obtained by curdling (coagulating) milk with an edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar and then draining off the liquid portion (called whey). Milk that has been left to sour (raw milk alone or pasteurized milk with added lactic acid bacteria) will also naturally produce curds. The increased acidity causes the milk proteins (casein) to tangle into solid masses, or curds. The rest, which contains only whey proteins, is the whey. During the process of making curd, bacteria convert milk into curd and predigest milk protein.

Thus curd is the semi-solid result of fermenting milk. It remains white with a creamy consistency

Answer 2

Answer:

The curd forms because of the chemical reaction between the lactic acid bacteria and casein. During fermentation, the bacteria use enzymes to produce energy ( ATP ) from lactose. The byproduct the globular proteins present in the milk and denatures them. please mark me as brainleast
