Detailed Solution

When milk changes into curd, the pH value will change. The pH value of milk is 6 since it is acidic. However, when the milk is converted into curd due to the action of bacteria, lactic acid is formed, which is more acidic. Therefore, the pH value of the milk is reduced as it turns to curd.
