How does milk spoil?

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.

pasteurization, this is mainly used for milk or milk products.


How yogurt is made is it a chemical or biochemical reaction?
