Through my life i have seen this happen to me just about 3 times, i also have seen some videos but i never seen any explanation. Is the milk bad, can i drink it? Everytime it happened to me it had a normal smell but that awful consistency of “Snot”
In: Chemistry
Spontaneous milk thickening is usually “curdling” which is a result of the PH changing due to bacterial growth and the proteins clumping together. Choosing palatable bacteria to do this is how cottage cheese (and other cheeses) are made. If your milk is just thickening the way you’re describing then it’s possible that you’re spontaneously creating yogurt but I have to wonder if you’re actually working with amygdalate (almond “milk”) or other milk substitutes, which coalesce more commonly due to different chemical actions.
