Cottage Cheese

Name: Cottage Cheese

Observation:  People enjoy cottage cheese by itself or with fruit.  I'm not a fan of it as I dislike the look and the consistency of the way it goes down.  There is a bit of bacteria in Cottage cheese because it is developed using fermented milk and that contains bacteria. Cottage cheese is a cheese curd product with a mild flavor. It is drained, but not pressed, so some whey remains and the individual curds remain loose. The curd is usually washed to remove acidity, giving sweet curd cheese. It is not aged or colored. Different styles of cottage cheese are made from milks with different fat levels and in small curd or large curd preparations (wikipedia.org, 2011).

Questions:
1. What exactly does pure milk contain?
2. How long does it take for cottage cheese to expire?
3. Does the expiration occur quicker than in other feeds because it contains some bacteria?

What exactly does pure milk contain?

Pure milk contains a variety of substances, which, for convenience in analysis and reference, are conventionally divided into three groups: fats, solids, not fat, and water (Stevenson, Peck and Rhynus, 1920).
