The process of converting whole milk to cheese (curds) is a chemical reaction. Often biological catalysts (like the enzyme Rennet) are used to make the process happen faster.

Like any chemical reaction, the warmer the constituents are, the faster the reaction will occur.

Temperature is actually a measure of molecular activity: the warmer something is, the higher the level of molecular motion. When things are cooled to very low temperatures (such as 0 Kelvin, or "Absolute Zero"), molecular motion basically stops. This occurs around -460'F, or -273' C.

So summer, being generally warmer, will tend to favor chemical reactions proceding more quickly.

If too much heat is added--especially to biological compounds, like enzymes--you can actually "kill" the chemical reaction by denaturing the proteins involved.

This may allow other, unfavorable reactions to occur.

Why do you think Curd sets faster in summer than in winter?

The bacteria (Lactobacillus) needs warmth to convert milk to curd. So the setting of curd is faster in summer.


Why do you think curd turns sour faster in summer than in winter?

Because it is a temperature dependent change.


Why formation of curd takes more time in winter than in summer?

the curd turn sour due to the reason that the bacteria lactobacillus which is present in curd produce waste or secondary products which turn curd in sour taste, now in summer this phenomena occur with higher speed as the bacteria get its favabourable or optimum temprature to grow..


Does human hair grow faster in the summer or the winter?

Does sound travel faster in air in the summer or in the winter?

sound travels faster during the WINTER I learned this in science this is because during the winter sound particles are closer together making the sound travling faster during the summer the particles r more loose hopes this helps


Predict whether sound will travel faster in the air in the summer or the winter?

Summer because the air particles are more spread out and can move faster in more heat


Why is diffusion faster in summer than in winter?

The rate of diffusion is increased when the temperature is higher (the movement of particles is increased).


Why do plant grow more in the summer than the winter?

In the summer plants recieve more direct sunlight then in the winter becuase of the tilt of the Earth on its access. Therefore causing faster photosynthesis to occur making the plants grow.


Is humidity higher in summer or winter?

Humidity is generally higher in summer than in winter.


Why do you think curd turns sour faster in summers than in winters?

Because it is a temperature dependent change.


Why Milk sours more rapidly in summer than in winter?

Because, in summer the temperature is high and this helps milk to sour more easily than winter. But in winter it is totally opposite to it. Thus, milk turns sour more easily in summer than winter.
