Best Answer

As milk ferments, the pH decreases (becomes more acidic). This change occurs because lactate (lactic acid) is produced as a result of carbohydrate metabolism.

Why is spoiled milk not used for yogurt making?

Fresh milk must be used because the fermentation process must lower the pH of the milk gradually. Chemicals are also released during the fermentation process that improves the taste of the yoghurt. If spoiled milk is used for yoghurt, the taste and the texture would not be correct.

Why does acid clot appear pink or white with a pink band at the top?

Litmus milk is an undefined medium consisting of skim milk and the pH indicator azolitmin. Azolitmin is purple between pH of 4.6 and 8.2. It turns pink when pH reaches 4.5 and blue at a pH of 8.3. Lactose ferminatation turns the litmus pink due to acidity. If litmus is reduced during lactose fermentation it will turn the medium white. Acid may cause an acid clot this is due to the casein precipitating. Heavy gas production can cause stormy fermentation, this is due to the breaking up of the clot.
