Acid curd-Is Lactic Acid or other organic acids cause precipitation of the milk protein casein as calcium caseinate to form and insoluble clot. The clot is hard and will not retract from the walls of the test tube. An acid curd is easily identified if the tube is inverted and the clot remains immobile.
Rennet Curd-- Some organisms produce rennin, an enzyme that acts on casein to form paracasein, which in the presence of calcium ions is converted to calcium paracaseinate and form an insoluble clot. Unlike the acid curd, this is a soft semisolid clot that will flow slowly when the tube is tilted.

What kind of acid is used to curdle cheese?
Rennet is used to separate milk into curds and whey. The curds is a solid that is processed into cheese.
Which c is solid milk?
"Curds" - when milk is used for cheesemaking, it is separated into curds (the milk solids) and whey (a watery residue) by the addition of an acid, or rennet (an enzyme). The curds are then processed to become many different forms of cheese, but the cheese which most closely resembles curds in it's unprocessed form is "cottage cheese".
What is the term for the lumps when acid is added to milk?
When rennet (a complex of enzyme) is added to whole milk, a separation takes place into solid curds, and liquid whey.
Is curd useful in acidity?
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but I'll give a brief example as to how curds are made, and hopefully it will cover your question. Curds are made by curdling milk with an acid like vinegar, lemon juice, or rennet. Raw milk can be curdled by adding lactic acid bacteria, which is then used to make sour milk cheeses. By increasing the acid in milk, it causes the milk proteins to bind to each other, resulting in the curds. When making curds, the liquid that rises to the top, that is drained off is known as whey.
What acid is present in curds?
lacic acid
Is there a way to firm up the curds of the cottage cheese?
If you add acid it will continue to curdle the cheese and make the curds firmer.
What is the difference between a lead-acid accumulator and a lead-acid battery?
There is no difference between lead acid accumulator and lead acid battery.
What is the difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid?
The difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid is that a fatty acid is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid head.
What is the term for the lump that form when an acid is added to milk?
The answer is curds or curdles.
