However, there’s a problem which I’m not sure: | |||
If pH has a direct relationship with health. I read some report and paper, there is a view: alkaline body environment is good for health, but it can not be said alkaline food leads to the alkaline environment/condition, it is complex medical problem. | |||
And also, this is a website of Acid/Alkaline Food Chart: http://www.phmiracleliving.com/t-food-chart.aspx | |||
And I find some healthy medicines which are used to adjust pH, the main ingredients are moderately or highly alkaline food. | |||
I am confused with it. | |||
What I will do on 17th: | |||
1. test just for visual and take picture:orange/lemon/onion/green onion/potato... | |||
2. help to know pH level of drinkings | |||
original pH | |||
mixed pH (milk/coffee/tea/gouqi/sugar) | |||
(And is there any pH difference belongs to temperature? hot and cold ) | |||
question: | |||
how to deal with the thing insoluble in water, for instance, oil, cosmetic... | |||
---- | |||
After the work of 17th, I decided to focus on coffee not kinds of drinks to do the experiment. Because it is hard to judge pH level with one colour measurement. | |||
I made 3 solutions with different proportions of red cabbage, distilled water and expresso coffee. | |||
1. 5ml red cabbage solution + 1ml distilled water + 1ml coffee | |||
2. 5ml red cabbage solution + 0.5ml distilled water + 1.5ml coffee | |||
3. 5ml red cabbage solution + 1.5ml distilled water + 0.5ml coffee | |||
As you can see on follow picture, the coulour results are not obvious. The | |||

I did the experiment of reversibility of colour change. | |||
5ml red cabbage solution + 2ml pH=2 + 2ml pH=9 | |||

5ml red cabbage solution + 2ml pH=2 + 2ml pH=11 | |||

5ml red cabbage solution + 2ml pH=2 + 2ml pH=13 | |||
[[File:4621516362920_.pic_hd.jpg|400px]] | |||
5ml red cabbage solution + 2ml pH=4 + 2ml pH=9 | |||
[[File:4641516362943_.pic_hd.jpg|400px]] | |||
And then I use reversibility of colour change to make the colour of coffee more obviously. | |||
pH of expresso coffee is around 6, I add solution (pH=9) into the original solution 1/2/3, the colour changing is more obviously. | |||

However, when I change another kind of coffee and do the experiment in the same way, the colour change cannot be seen obviously. Maybe because the different ingredients of coffee. | However, when I change another kind of coffee and do the experiment in the same way, the colour change cannot be seen obviously.
