This makes the milk coagulate or curdle, separating the milk solids (curds) from the liquid whey. [4] Sweet whey is the byproduct of rennet-coagulated cheese, and acid whey (also called sour whey) is the byproduct of acid-coagulated cheese. [5] Sweet whey has a pH greater than or equal to 5.6; acid whey has a pH less than or equal to 5.1. [6]
Curd is obtained by coagulating milk in a sequential process called curdling. It can be a final dairy product or the first stage in cheesemaking . [ 1 ] The coagulation can be caused by adding rennet , a culture , or any edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar , and then allowing it to coagulate.
A curd knife is used to cut milk curd into small cubes A pan of curdled milk. In curdling, the pH of the milk decreases and becomes more acidic. [1] Independently floating casein molecules attract one another, forming "curdles" that float in a translucent whey. [1]
The bacteria and enzymes separate the milk into curds and whey. What is curd? Curds are the product of coagulating milk. Simply put, a curd is the solid stuff. Whey is the remaining liquid. It may ...

(As a note, enzymes are natural and act as agents to turn milk into cheese curds, thereby separating the whey.) Read on for our top healthy cheddar picks, and for more, check out 11 Cheese Brands ...
Milk is skimmed to remove the fat, then the milk is soured so that the casein is precipitated as milk curd. The curd is washed (removing the whey), and then the curd is pressed to squeeze out the water (it may even be dried to a powder). The casein is mixed with alkali (usually both sodium and calcium hydroxide) to make glue.
