Enzymes such as "rennet".
The term for the lumps that form when an acid is added to milk is curds.
There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that milk causes mucus to thicken.
Rennet gets added to milk to form curds and whey. It is the curds that go on to form the cheese.
the solid mass are the proteins in the milk reacting with the acidic vinegar. Sour cream is made in the same way by adding lemon juice (acid) to heavy cream. The acid will react with the protein in the cream and thicken it.
Cheese is made from spoiled milk by adding bacteria or enzymes to the milk, which causes it to curdle and separate into curds and whey. The curds are then pressed and aged to create cheese.
The answer is curds or curdles.
The answer is curds or curdles.
Cheese can be made using milk and vinegar by heating the milk, adding vinegar to curdle it, straining the curds from the whey, and pressing the curds to form cheese.
There are many types of curds. Many foods will form clumps that are referred to as curds. Cheese is probably the most common. If you are referring to curds and whey, then you are referring to lumps of cheese floating in the water that separates from milk when acid is added and the milk protein clumps together to form cheese.
"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".
This product is called sour milk. It causes milk for form a coagulate. It is not a precipitate as it doesn't separate into a solid and a liquid. Cheese making would use that method.
Milk curdles in coffee because the acidity of the coffee causes the proteins in the milk to denature and clump together, forming curds.
