Milk + citric acid or pineapple juice formula? (chemistry)

In summary, the milk + citric acid or pineapple juice formula is a homemade substitute for buttermilk that works by using acidic substances to lower the pH of the milk and cause the proteins to denature and clump together. It is used in baking recipes to provide the same acidic properties as buttermilk and activate leavening agents. Any type of milk can be used, but different types may produce different results. The ratio of citric acid or pineapple juice to milk is about 1 tablespoon to 1 cup, but it is best to start with a small amount and add more as needed. The mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week, but should be used within a few days for best results.

Coagulation is not a simple reaction with a simple reaction equation, you won't find one.
