Titratable Acidity Analysis
Measurement of total or titratable acidity.
Total/Titratable Acidity (TA) measures acidity by titrating a sample with a standardized base to a pH end point. TA is expressed as g/L acid equivalents or as a % acid equivalent and should not be confused with expression of hydrogen ion concentration by pH. TA is reported in applicable acid equivalents - malic acid for cider, citric acid for seltzer, lactic acid for sours, or acetic acid equivalents for kombucha.
