Curd is a natural source of lactic acid.
Answer - Curd (Option B)
Explanation:
- Tomato is a natural source of citric acid, vinegar is a source of acetic acid, and tamarind is a source of tartaric acid.
- Curd formed by the fermentation of the milk, where lactose is converted to lactic acid by the action of natural bacteria.
- With the formation of lactic acid, the pH lowers and denatures the milk protein leading to the basic structure or texture of the curd.
- The sour taste of the curd is due to the presence of lactic acid.
