Definition Total acidity The total acidity is a measure of all the hydrogen ions (H+)of both the fixed and volatile acids present in food. These included: 1)the potential H+(hydrogen ions)able to be released. 2)Plus those H+already released,existing free H+in food Total acidity is amore accurate representation of the acid concentration than titratable acidity,however it is difficult to measure.Hence,the easier to measure titratable acidity is used to approximate total acidity

Effective acidity The effective acidity in food depends on the concentration of all acids in food as well as their tendency to dissociate hydrogen ions.It is the concentration of H+. Effective acidity is measured as pH
Effective acidity The effective acidity in food depends on the concentration of all acids in food as well as their tendency to dissociate hydrogen ions. It is the concentration of H+ . Effective acidity is measured as pH
Volatile acidity Volatile acidity is often abbreviated to VA Volatile acidity,as the name suggests,refers to the organic acids found in wine,grape juice etc that are more volatile or more easily vaporized than the non-volatile or fixed acids (malic acid) Volatile acids,because their volatility,are able to be steam distilled over,collected and their concentration determined. the main volatile acidity include:acetic acid, butyric acid,etc

Acidity in milk 1) Apparent acidity:derived from the alkali binding properties of casein phosphates,citrates and CO2. Usually it is between 0.15%-0.18%.(lactic acid) 2)Developed acidity:results from the fermentation of milk by lactic acid bacteria.When it is above 0.2%, lactic acid exists. 3)Two ways to express acidity in milk T:the volume of 0.1000mol/l NaOH depleted by 100ml milk sample.The apparent acidity of fresh milk is 16-18 0T the acidity in the milk can be expressed by lactic acid percentage

Effects of acids in food process 1)Color change 2)Food taste 3)Food stability 4)Maturity of fruits 5)Standards of food quality such as:stale oil,meat(PH升高，大于6.7则腐 败)；rotten fruits

Determination of total acidity Principle:an acid-base titration RCOOH+NaOH-RCOONa +H2O 食品中的有机酸（弱酸）用标准碱液滴定时，被中和生成盐 类。用酚酞作指示剂，当滴定到终点（pH=8.2,指示剂显 红色)时，根据消耗的标准碱液体积，计算出样品总酸的 含量
