Fresh Milk - The Standoff

Watch the Casein proteins (blue spheres) floating peacefully in the milk.

⚡ Each protein has a negative charge (−), causing them to repel each other like magnets!

Acid Introduction - The Intruder

Acid releases Hydrogen ions (H⁺) into the milk!

Neutralization - The Calm Down

H⁺ ions attach to casein proteins and neutralize their charge!

🤝 Without negative charges to push them apart, proteins can now come together!

📚 Understanding the Science

🔬

What is Casein?

Casein makes up about 80% of milk protein. These molecules form tiny spherical structures called micelles that give milk its white color.

⚡

Electric Charges

Casein proteins have a negative surface charge (around -20mV). This causes electrostatic repulsion, keeping proteins suspended and milk smooth.

🍋

Role of Acid

Acids release H⁺ ions that neutralize the negative charges on casein. The isoelectric point of casein is pH 4.6 - the point of maximum curdling.

🌡️

Temperature Effect

Higher temperatures speed up molecular movement and bacterial growth, accelerating the curdling process. That's why milk spoils faster when warm!

🦠

Bacterial Spoilage

Lactobacillus bacteria consume lactose (milk sugar) and produce lactic acid as a byproduct. This natural process is used to make yogurt!

🧀

Cheese Making

creates different cheese varieties - from soft paneer to aged cheddar!

🎯 Fun Facts

Adding coffee to milk doesn't curdle it because coffee isn't acidic enough (pH 5). But hot coffee + cold milk can cause heat shock curdling!

Milk has a natural pH of 6.5-6.8. It becomes noticeably sour at pH 6.0 and visibly curdles below pH 4.6.

The word "Casein" comes from the Latin word "caseus" meaning cheese - because casein IS the cheese-making protein!
