Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: The Lactic acid bacteria produce acids that coagulate and partially digest the milk proteins Reason: LAB improves curd's nutritional quality by increasing vitamin D

Step-by-step solution

During growth, the LAB produce acids that coagulate and partially digest the milk proteins. A small amount of curd added to the fresh milk as inoculum or starter contain millions of LAB, which at suitable temperatures multiply, thus converting milk to curd, which also improves its nutritional quality by increasing vitamin B12.
