Can these strips test the acidity of orange juice for a science project?

I verified my value w Princeton and they say 3.5 pH is typical. Here is the link:https://www.princeton.edu/~achaney/tmve/wiki100k/docs/Orange_juice.html

With this meter you would have to grind them up and make a solution and then place a few drops on the testing strip. But just call the company and they will help you.

Hello--As far as testing food,I am not aware of this unit being used for that -You might have to research alittle futher...

A standard litmus kit cannot accurately test the pH of water due to the chemical traces on the strip and the reaction process.....Seriously? Those chemical traces and the reaction process are EXACTLY how pH is determined. This is like saying a speedometer can not be used to measure speed because it measures distance traveled over time...... /smh

Good question. It may take a little bit of experimentation, but I would filter the orange juice to remove pulp, measure the appropriate volume and add a TISAB tablet. Measure the pH of the OJ/TISAB solution before attempting fluoride quantification. If the pH of the OJ/TISAB is equivalent to your standard TISAB solution, I would go ahead and measure the fluoride. If the pH is too low, I would dilute the OJ/TISAB with TISAB (1:1) until the pH was in range. Then you can measure fluoride and correct for dilution.

Hi Kathryn, since there is no mention in the product information about the pages being acid free, I think you have to assume that they are not. That would surely be a great selling point and if they could use that as a promotion for the product they would. I'm still using mine to hold recipes, not nearly as dear to me as photos would be so I wasn't thinking along the same lines as you when I bought these.Judy

it is only for testing sugar content in liquid. if you took a pinepapple then juiced it. it could tell you how much sugar is in the juice. the instructions that come with it are worthless they are in chinese

Yes! Each time you get a new bottle of test strips, you'll have to make sure the code on the bottle is the same code in the meter. If not, you'll have to change the code in the meter!

You can use them on citrus fruits but I WOULD HIGHLY suggest cutting the rind off because it leaves such a bitter taste in the juice! Not pleasant at all!

Probably not. The levels of chlorine in drinking water should be well below the detection range of the strips. If you can get a reading with these strips for anything other than pH with drinking water, then you have very hard, over chlorinated, questionably safe drinking water...

yes as far as I know the alkaline strips will let you know if the beverage is alkaline. BTW coffee is highly acidic

Not total sure, I know I have 3 different machine here at my plant - each one requires there own test strips. I know there was a couple different number of machines for this brand that take these strips.

I don't think so, I bought one from Walmart that came with a box you could send off. These do not. It's just the test strips

Yes. Any water. Strips are not as accurate as master test kits but are good enough to see if you have a problem. Much easier

I think they would be best for any non acidic foods. Unfortunately tomato juice is acidic and probably should be quick frozen in hard plastic or glass. I tried to research proof of my thoughts but couldn't find anything specifically saying this***I just think this is the right answer....

It depends on the pH range you are most interested in. My formulations require acidification from neutral (pH7 down to pH4.5) for which these strips are perfect (note where the colors transition in rows 1 and 2). Check the color range in the illustration: where there is a transition from one color to another in any of the 4 rows is where the strips are most useful.

Yes. The color of water tested will be compared to color chart. A lot more accurate than strips.
