Abstract

The aim of this practical is to determine the acidity levels of certain types of tomato products with the process of titration and to determine which product of tomato is more suitable to the human body. I have chosen to search which product of commercial tomato is more suitable to the human body, because I was curious about this subject. Tomatoes, ketchup and tomato paste are nutrients that are quite common in daily life. I wanted to search the acidity of such product that we use a lot. Therefore I have searched tomato products’ pH in order to indicate which product is more suitable to the normal pH level of our blood. At first, I have searched what percentage of each tomato products that are tomato juice, ketchup and tomato paste, contain any kind of acid. Then I have tried to indicate which one is the most harmless to the human body. For reaching a conclusion I focused on the normal blood pH of human body and I have tried to obtain the best commercial tomato product for normal regulation of acidity in human body. I have chosen to use the method titration in the experiment. The reason why I choose titration is that, both qualitative and quantitave results could be obtained from it. I have predicted that tomato paste is going to be the less harmless. In fact, the pH values were close to each other, but most suitable tomato product is tomato paste according to my experiment. Therefore my predicted result proven.
