How does milk spoil?

Answer 1

Lactic acid bacteria ferments the lactose in the milk turning it to lactic acid.

The lactic acid lowers the pH value of the milk changing its consistency and in some cases making it unpleasant to consume, depending on the quantity and type of bacteria culturing in the milk can make you very sick.

Cooking the milk will kill most bacteria, however different bacteria produce different types of toxins that will not be neutralized by cooking.

Answer 3

Milk cartons have ten times the thermal conductivity of plastic. This means that milk cartons serve as a better insulator to help keep milk cold. Keeping milk cold is one way to make milk stay fresher longer.

Answer 4

Why does everything else get rotten? It is a certain substance contained within it that cannot last long without being under a certain temperature. It is unable to self-preserve.

Or to put it simply; it just does. ;)

Answer 5

Milk spoils when bacteria in the environment or present in the milk itself multiply and grow, breaking down the proteins and fats in the milk. This process results in the production of unpleasant odors and flavors, and eventually, the milk becomes unsafe to consume. Temperature control and proper storage can help prevent milk spoilage.
