bacteria turns milk into curd.
My grandmother says that you should not have curd after drinking milk. she believes that the milk would turn into curd in your stomach. It is not scientifically proven and seems very silly. However she is very serious about it and she does not underestimate the powers of the superstitious forces.
Yes, milk is converted into curd through a process called fermentation, in which specific bacteria, such as Lactobacillus, convert lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid. This causes the milk proteins to coagulate and thicken, resulting in the formation of curd.
No, milk is not a living organism because it does not have cells, cannot grow, and does not reproduce like living organisms. The fermentation process that turns milk into curd is carried out by live microorganisms, but the milk itself is not considered alive.
Curd &milk are posine or not
Due to process fermentation of microorganism the milk turns into curd.
Lactobacillus casei is the bacterium present in curd. It produces lactic acid, which in turn reduces the pH and coagulates milk proteins (primarily casein) forming curd.
The curd is the fat in the milk that sticks together. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I think it is the proteins rather than the fat that are responsible for the formation of curd - after all you can get fat free curd cheese.
Lactobacillus is a type of beneficial bacteria that plays a key role in the fermentation process that turns milk into curd. When milk is inoculated with Lactobacillus, it ferments the lactose (milk sugar) and converts it into lactic acid. This acid causes the proteins in milk, particularly casein, to coagulate and form the thick, creamy texture of curd. The fermentation process also enhances the nutritional value of the milk by introducing probiotics, which promote gut health.

Formation of curd in milk is called 'Fermentation'.Curd is formed when milk is pasteurised and fermented by a combination of lactic acid bacteria and a protease.
To convert milk into curd, heat the milk to a lukewarm temperature, add a small amount of curd culture or curd from a previous batch, and let it sit undisturbed in a warm place for 6-8 hours to allow the milk to ferment and curdle. The bacteria in the culture will convert the sugars in the milk into lactic acid, thickening the milk and turning it into curd.
I haven't tried it, but I read it somewhere, you can prepare curd without using starter curd, but instead add a few drops of lemon to luke warm milk in the same manner as u do for curdling milk.
Yes, curd (or yogurt) is more acidic than milk because it is produced by fermentation, which involves the conversion of lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid by bacteria. This increase in acidity results in the characteristic tangy flavor of curd that is not present in milk.
