Answer:
Milk spoils when bacteria converts the lactose into glucose and galactose, producing lactic acid. Lactic acid creates casein and then forms a curd that can quickly curdle the milk within 24 hours. Once milk starts curdling toward the bottom of the jug, it's considered spoiled and should immediately be discarded.
