Question

Answer 1

Answer:

milk should be lukewarm during the setting of curd because it helps in the of generation of populating of lacto bacillus bacteria

Answer 2

Answer:

For better gormation of curd.

Explanation:

As we know that when we make curd the milk should be lukewarm. When we add some amount of old curd(Joran in hindi) then the bacteria(i.e. Lactobacillus) acts on the lactose i.e. it starts consuming the lactose thus forming curd from milk. If the milk is too hot ,then the bacteria will die. If the milk is too cold then the bacteria will become inactive as a result no curd will be formed. So lukewarm milk is preferred for curd formation as it provides an optimum temperature for the growth of bacteria and formation of curd.
