Q » What is curdling in dairy processing?
30 Oct, 2025
A » Curdling in dairy processing refers to the process where milk proteins coagulate, forming solid curds and liquid whey. This occurs when milk is treated with rennet or an acid, causing casein proteins to clump together. Curdling is a critical step in cheese-making and can also happen unintentionally due to spoilage. Controlling temperature, acidity, and timing is essential for achieving the desired consistency and flavor in dairy products.
