Why does ginger juice coagulate milk?
After ginger protease was hydrolyzed under certain conditions, the charge of casein colloidal particles was neutralized, and the milk was solidified into colloid.

95% of casein in milk exists in the form of colloidal particles with a diameter of about 40 ~ 300 nm. Casein in milk is negatively charged on the surface of the liquid, and the same charges among casein molecules repel each other. Therefore, when milk exists alone, the protein molecules of cheese exist singly, in the form of emulsion.

Buffalo milk coagulates when it meets ginger juice, because ginger protease is hydrolyzed under certain conditions, which neutralizes the charge of casein colloidal particles and makes milk coagulate into colloid. In this process, charge neutralization took place, and the substance was still the original protein, and no new substance was generated, just physical changes.
