Milk(lactose) is converted into Curd by Bacterial Fermentation in presence of Lactic acid Bacteria/ lactobacillus acidophilus/ lactobacillus lactis/ Streptococcus lactis at temp below 40C
Bacterial Strain produces lactic Acid which coagulates and partially digest milk protein at temperature less than 40C. Lactic Acid Bacteria synthesizes and releases Vit B12 in the curd and increases its nutritional value.
