During the curdling process, the lactose sugar in milk is converted to lactic acid.
Milk curdling is caused by lactic acid-producing bacteria found in milk. Protein denaturation is an example. When a protein is exposed to physical or chemical alterations, it is said to be modified. The hydrogen bond has been shattered. Globules open up, helices uncoil, and proteins lose their biological function.

Ans:
This is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. phenol generates phenoxide ion in alkaline medium, which is more electron-rich than phenol and thus more reactive to electrophilic attack. In this reaction, the electrophile is an aryldiazonium cation.
The faster the reaction, the stronger the electrophile.
The cation p-nitrophenyldiazonium is a stronger electrophile than the cation p-toluene diazonium.
As a result, it preferentially couples with phenol.
