CURDLES Meaning and
Definition
-
The term "curdles" refers to a chemical process that occurs when a liquid, typically milk or any other dairy product, undergoes a transformation resulting in the formation of solid chunks or lumps known as curds. This process is primarily caused by the coagulation of proteins in the liquid, resulting in its separation into solid curds and a liquid portion called whey.
When a liquid curdles, it may undergo physical changes such as coagulation, clotting, or thickening, which lead to the formation of small, irregularly shaped curds. This process can occur naturally due to the presence of bacteria, enzymes, or an acid, causing the proteins in the liquid to denature and clump together. It is important to note that curdling can be intentional or unintentional, depending on the desired culinary outcome.
In the culinary world, curdling is often seen as undesirable in certain contexts, such as when milk curdles due to spoilage, resulting in a sour taste and foul odor. However, curdling is intentionally induced in various recipes to create specific dishes, such as cheese, yogurt, or paneer.
Overall, the term "curdles" describes the natural or intentional process of a liquid transforming into solid curds due to coagulation, resulting in the separation of liquid and solid components.

Etymology of CURDLES
The word "curdles" comes from the Middle English word "crudelen", which is derived from the Old English word "crudan". Both of these words have roots in the Proto-Germanic language. "Crudan" can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European base word "greu-" meaning "to coagulate" or "cause to curdle". This base word also gave rise to similar words in other Germanic languages, such as German "gerinnen" and Dutch "stremmen", all related to the process of forming curds in milk.
