Q.

The process by which milk is converted to curd is called –

A. Pasteurization
B. Vernalization
C. Fermentation
D. Retting
Answer» C. Fermentation
Explanation: Curds are a dairy product obtained by curdling (coagulating) milk with rennet or an edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar, and then draining off the liquid portion. The increased acidity causes the milk proteins (casein) to tangle into solid masses, or curds. The remaining liquid, which contains only whey proteins, is the whey. In Asia, curds are essentially a vegetarian preparation using yeast to ferment the milk.
