Titratable Acid

Method Description

Titratable acidity measures the total amount of acid present in a sample by determining how much base is needed to neutralize all acids to a specific endpoint. This measurement is important for food products because acidity affects flavor, preservation, microbial stability, and processing characteristics. Titratable acidity provides different information than pH and is essential for products like dairy, fermented foods, and beverages where acid content impacts quality and safety.
