An acid–base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base. It can be used to determine pH.
- acid
- In food analysis, it is common to express the concentration of hydronium-ions in terms of the concentration of the most abundant acid in that food. For example, lactic acid is used for dairy products, citric acid for citrus fruits, tartaric acid for grapes, and malic acid for apple
- base
- Basic/alkaline cations in food include sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Low grade acidosis can get worse with age due to a decrease in kidney function. The net acid or base load from the diet is the potential renal acid load (PRAL).
