The milk is curdled using a starter culture, and the curd is then processed to make cheese.
A starter culture is a microbial culture that executes the fermentation process.
Fermentation is the breakdown of sugar molecules into simpler chemicals that can be used to provide chemical energy.
The following is the procedure for manufacturing cheese:
The starter is used to turn the milk into curd.
Straining separates the curd from the liquid whey.
The moisture is subsequently squeezed out of the separated curd.
The pressed curd is now known as cottage cheese or paneer.
The curd is then salted to prevent undesirable bacteria from growing.After that, the cheese is flavoured with certain bacteria or fungus and left to age.
Cheese contains protein, fat, calcium, as well as vitamins and minerals.
