Also, coconut juice easily and quickly ferments, so I would think the pH of fresh and/or canned/stale coconut juice might significantly differ.Wavefunctionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993805391653267639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794394483322884922.post-22034108157410250352009-08-19T12:59:19.565-04:002009-08-19T12:59:19.565-04:00I am not sure coconut juice is acidic.

For "coconut milk pH" and "coconut juice pH" I get results listing it as low-acid in range between 4.1 at the least and 7 at the most.<br /><br />The wiki indicates that coconut juice has some nitrogen in it (I don't know in what form) but there is a higher percentage of phosphoric acid. As you say, a litmus test could resolve this easily. I guess we have to wait for fresh coconuts to be in season, since the canned stuff is probably mixed in with some preservatives.The Chemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15970398885870679916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-794394483322884922.post-78208871134822268172009-08-19T12:05:55.736-04:002009-08-19T12:05:55.736-04:00The man is clearly a kook, but I am not sure cocon...The man is clearly a kook, but I am not sure coconut juice is acidic. Googling seems to uncover a fair number of websites which list it as alkaline. Should be very easy to check with a pH paper dip.<br /><br />Also, considering that Mr. P is correct about heat generated in homosexual sex (although he cites an egregiously wrong reason) and incorrect about heat generated in heterosexual sex, one does not have to guess which sex he probably has experience with.Wavefunctionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993805391653267639noreply@blogger.com
