Question

Is milk basic or acidic in nature?

Answer 1

Answer:

Milk is slightly acidic

Explanation:

Actually, milk has a pH of around 6.5 to 6.7, which makes it slightly acidic

Answer 2

• Milk has a slightly acidic pH of 6.5–6.7. Because it is so near to the neutral pH of 7.0, several publications refer to milk as neutral.
• Lactic acid, on the other hand, is a hydrogen or proton donor found in milk.

• Its acidity rises when milk "sours." Harmless Lactobacillus bacteria obtain energy from lactose in milk.

• Lactic acid is produced when bacteria and oxygen interact.

• Lactic acid has a sour flavour, like other acids.

• Milk from other mammalian species has a slightly acidic pH to that of cattle milk.
• If the milk is skim, whole, or evaporated, the pH varies somewhat.
• Colostrum is acidic (less than 6.5 for cow's milk) than ordinary milk.
