The phrase "acid lower" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to describe a reduction in acidity, but without additional context, it is ambiguous and unclear.
Example: "To achieve a balanced flavor, we need to acid lower the sauce before serving."
Alternatives: "reduce acidity" or "lower the acidity level".
Over time the carbon in the oceans turns into carbonic acid, lowering pH levels and making the water more acidic.
However, as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels rise, the equilibrium of the carbonate-bicarbonate-carbonic acid cycle will shift towards greater amounts of carbonic acid, lowering the pH of the water (Harley, 2006).
It is shown, for instance, that stearic acid lowers the percolation threshold and modifies the dispersion state.
Much of the carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere ends up in the oceans, where it forms a weak acid, lowering the pH level of the seas.
Considering that a single mutation of one aromatic amino acid lowers the processivity and increases hydrolytic activity in ChiA as demonstrated in the former biochemical study22, the balance between velocity and processivity is 'fine-tuned' by controlling the affinity with the substrates15.
However, Lima cautions that an ongoing national study of the long-term vascular benefits of dual therapy and of whether extended-release niacin, also known as nicotinic acid, lowers death rates from heart disease should provide more definitive data.
Moreover, Uddin et al. (2014) reported that inclusion of 1% citric acid lowered the small intestine pH, although the effect was not statistically significant.
It has also been observed that the substitution of only a few α-amino acids in a peptide by the corresponding β-amino acid lowers the proteolytic susceptibility (Horne et al. 2009; Steer et al. 2002).
Citric acid lowers the pH level of an avocado's surface making the entire covered area more acidic.
