Why Does Milk Curdle? Science Explains

Have you ever poured milk into your bowl of cereal only to have the unwelcome surprise of curdled milk?
It's chunky and smells horrible! 🤢 Makes you just about lose your appetite.
But, there's actually some pretty cool food science behind fresh milk turning into a curdled mess.
This unfortunate change all has to do with the protein named casein and the growth of bacteria in the milk. It seems to be a common misconception that the fat is involved. Nope, it's that pesky protein.

Hey Abbey, So I’ve been trying to make yogurt I’ve done it before with organic milk I’ve bought from the store. Once I get home I start to boil it to 185 F, I’ve never had the milk curdled on me. Until I used regular milk I’ve been trying to figure it out but after watching this video my guess is that maybe I’ve let it set too long in the fridge opened before boiling it therefore boiling only further the curdling process? If you have any idea please share.

Accidentally using older milk was my first thought too! I would try again and see if it works :)

@@AbbeytheFoodScientistI bought some milk today and started to heat it no curdling happened now it’s cooling. So it is really is just the freshness of the milk.
