When a lemon is exposed to air, it undergoes oxidation of its compounds. This oxidation can convert the sour citric acid in lemons into bitter compounds. This is why a lemon can sometimes taste bitter when it has been cut and exposed to air for a period of time.
The reaction time of an acid in lemon juice depends on various factors such as concentration, temperature, and surface area of the material coming into contact with the lemon juice. Generally, the reaction can start almost immediately upon contact with the acid in the lemon juice.
Acids taste sour; bases normally taste bitter.
No, putting lemon in water does not make it alkaline. Lemon is acidic in nature and will not change the pH level of water to become alkaline.
When milk comes in contact with acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, it curdles. This is due to the protein in the milk (casein) coagulating in the presence of acidity. The curdling process causes the milk to separate into curds (solid) and whey (liquid).

Quinine is primarily known for its use in tonic water, but it is also added to bitter lemon beverages for its distinct flavor and potential health benefits. The presence of quinine gives bitter lemon its characteristic bitterness, complementing the citrus flavor.
