Cleaning operations
Another area in food processing where the solubility behavior of salts derived from weak acids has important implications is in cleaning operations. Even though food processing plants are careful in monitoring water hardness, deposits of calcium and magnesium salts may still form on the surface of processing equipment and pipes. This is specially true for plants that handle products or ingredients inherently rich in calcium, for example dairy plants. The deposits of low solubility salts present in water (i.e.,calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese salts) can provide a foundation for the attachment of bacteria, macromolecules, and the formation of biofilms. Using acidic cleaning and rinsing solutions dissolves the salts decreasing the potential for deposits and biofilm formation. Special care, however, must be taken when using chlorine based cleansing and sanitizing solutions.
The salts involved in water hardness are also deleterious in processing and cleaning operations because high concentrations of calcium and magnesium contained in hard water can bind to cleansers and sanitizers decreasing their effectiveness.[1] Calcium and magnesium salts also decrease the ability of water to remove bacteria from food and processing surfaces. Hinton and Holser reported that hard water used in rinsing skin of processed broiler chickens removed significantly less bacteria than soft water.[2]
Water softening strategies take advantage of the solubility equilibrium of salts with the addition of sequestering agents. As used in food formulations, addition of anions capable of binding calcium and magnesium, for example, citrates, favors the dissociation of the salt increasing its solubility. Soaps and detergents also include this type of agents where they are called "detergent builders".
This is in addition to the changes in pH and solubility of calcium already discussed and affected by the absorption of volatile organic acids form the smoke.
A more recent study evaluated the effect of starter culture, pH, lactic acid concentration, calcium (total and soluble), and salt on the development of calcium lactate crystals in early stages of the manufacture process and later during curing. During the cheese making process and early curing stages (7 days), pH, lactic acid concentration, nonprotein nitrogen, and calcium (total and soluble) in cheese did not correlate with formation of calcium lactate crystals or expulsion of liquid in Cheddar cheese. During curing however, pH, lactic acid concentration, and soluble calcium appeared to be associated to crystal formation and seemed to be related with the use of specific starter cultures. The cheese that did not show calcium lactate crystals during the course of the study was made with starter culture characterized by the least pronounced change in pH during the first month of curing.

- Solid concentration: lactate and salt gradients
- Low pH (gradient): Absorption of volatile organic acids
- Calcium shifts/solubility
- Gradients of solids disapeared with time

Acid Value (AV) and the quality of fats and oils
A typical indicator for acid-base titrations is phenolphthalein, HC20H13O4. Phenolphthalein, whose structure is shown below, is a colorless weak acid (Ka = 3 × 10–10 mol dm–3). Its conjugate base, C20H13O4– has a strong pinkish-red color. In order to simplify, we will write the phenolphthalein molecule as HIn and its pink conjugate base as In–. In aqueous solution, phenolphthalein will present the following equilibrium
HIn + H2O
In– + H3O+ (1)
According to Le Chatelier’s principle, the equilibrium shown in equation (1) will be shifted to the left if H3O+ is added. Thus in a strongly acidic solution we expect nearly all the pink In– to be consumed, and only colorless HIn will remain. On the other hand, if the solution is made strongly basic, the equilibrium will shift to the right because OH– ions will react with HIn molecules, converting them to In–. Thus the phenolphthalein solution will become pink.
Clearly there must be some intermediate situation where half the phenolphthalein is in the acid form and half in the colored conjugate-base form. That is, at some pH
[HIn] = [In–]
This intermediate pH can be calculated by applying the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to the indicator equilibrium:
Thus at the point where half the indicator is conjugate acid and half conjugate base,
For phenolphthalein, we have
so we expect phenolphthalein to change color in the vicinity of pH = 9.5.
Fig. 1 Color change of phenolphthalein with respect to pH
The way in which both the color of phenolphthalein and the fraction present as the conjugate base varies with the pH is shown in detail in Fig. 1. The change of color occurs over quite a limited range of pH―roughly pKa ± 1. In other words the color of phenolphthalein changes perceptibly between about pH 8.3 and 10.5. Observe the actual color change for this indicator in Fig. 2. Other indicators behave in essentially the same way, but for many of them both the acid and the conjugate base are colored. Their pKa’s also differ from phenolphthalein, as shown in the following table. The indicators listed have been selected so that their pKa values are approximately two units apart. Consequently, they offer a series of color changes spanning the whole pH range.
