Question

Read the following statements:
A. Digestibility coefficient of the curd is superior than the milk from which it is prepared
B. Slight decrease in the curd total solids due to the formation of volatile acids and alcohol on fermentation
C. Specific gravity of the curd is observed to increase upon fermentation.
D. All the calcium in the fermented milk shall be in ionic form
E. Fermented milk has therapeutic value
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A, B and E only
• B. A, B, C and D only
• C. A, B, D and E only
• D. A, D and E only

Hint:

Fermented milk: superior digestibility, therapeutic value.
Total solids may decrease.
Not all calcium is ionic.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Fermented milk products have specific properties.
Digestibility, composition, and therapeutic value are important.
Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
No specific formula.
Need to know the properties of fermented milk.
Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
A. Digestibility of curd is superior - true.
B. Slight decrease in total solids due to volatile acids and alcohol - true.
C. Specific gravity increases upon fermentation - false.
D. All calcium is in ionic form - false.
E. Fermented milk has therapeutic value - true.
Thus, A, B, and E are correct.
Step 4: Final Answer:
A, B, and E are correct.
Hence, the correct option is (A). \bigskip
