It is well known that when milk is allowed to sour, the rise in acidity is not directly proportional to the increase in the number of acid-forming bacteria. There is a distinct phase in the process during which numerical increase of these organisms takes place, accompanied only by slight acid production, after which the acidity rises very rapidly to a maximum.
