Question

Rewrite the following statement after correcting them - lactobacilli cause coagulation of sugars present in the milk
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lactobacillus causes formation of lactic acid from lactose or the sugar present in the milk.

Answer 2

The correct statement is- lactobacilli cause coagulation of milk protein present in the milk.

• Lactobacillus is a gram positive bacteria that is responsible for the conversion of milk into curd by the fermentation process.
• The lactose sugar present in the milk is converted into lactic acid by Lactobacillus. Hence, this bacteria is also called lactic acid bacteria (LAB).
• This results in partial digestion of milk protein called casein present in milk. It is called coagulation of milk.
