Upload NowAfter reading this article you will learn about the requirements and procedure of litmus milk reactions. Milk sugar lactose, the milk proteins casein, lacto-albumin and lacto-globulin are the milk substrates that can be transformed by microorganisms, bringing about changes in pH. In order to distinguish the metabolic changes, a pH indicator, the oxidation reduction indicator […]
