Why does milk tastes sweet while curd tastes sour?

Milk tastes sweet primarily due to the presence of lactose, a natural sugar. When milk is fermented to make curd, bacteria convert lactose into lactic acid, which gives curd its sour taste. This fermentation process not only changes the flavor but also alters the texture and nutritional profile of the milk. Thus, the sweetness of milk and the sourness of curd result from different microbial activities and chemical compositions.


What happens if excess of curd in added to milk?

When excess curd is added to milk, the lactic acid bacteria present in the curd ferment the lactose in the milk, leading to the production of more lactic acid. This process thickens the milk, causing it to curdle and form a thicker yogurt-like consistency. If left for too long, the excess acidity can result in a sour taste and further separation of whey from the curds. Ultimately, the milk transforms into a more tangy and thicker dairy product.
