measured using a Metrohm 800 Dosino 862 Compact Titrosampler (Metrohm AG, Herisau, Switzerland) and an electrode standardized to pH 2.00, 4.00, 7.00, and 10.00 buffers. Titratable acidity was determined from 6 g of juice diluted with 50 mL deionized
pathway ( Forkmann, 1991 ; Holton and Cornish, 1995 ; Mol et al., 1998 ; Wiering and deVlaming, 1984 ). Additionally, genetic differences in flower color resulting from modifications in the pH were explained by genes Ph1, Ph2 , and Ph6 ( Griesbach

growth stage, relative leaf elongation rate (RLER) was calculated as followed: where ln PH 2 and ln PH 2 are the natural logarithms of the PH at time one t 1 and time two t 2 , respectively. Plants were harvested from 4.5 m plots when an average of

present experiment, infusion or postpeeling treatment with 1% citric acid solution (pH = 2.30) reduced surface pH from 5.0 to 5.5 to ≈3.0 to 3.5, which would explain growth suppression of fast-growing spoilage bacteria ( Pao and Petracek, 1997 ). The
acidity, combined acidity, and the pH of brine samples were periodically measured in a titroprocessor (Metrohm 670; Herisau, Switzerland). Analyses of free and combined acidity were made by titrating up to pH 8.3 with 0.2 N OHNa, and down to pH 2.6 with 2
.00125pHT – 0.01857pH 2 – 0.000032T 2 ( F = 90.4048**)]. Three-dimensional response surface plot showing the effect that when pH = 5.4461, T = 8.916 h, the solubility reached a maximum value of 0.0564 ± 0.0032 mg. At the same time, the pH value of
inheritance of flower color was attributed to the combined effect of anthocyanin pigmentation and pH, the latter being controlled by two independent codominant genes, Ph1 and Ph2 ( Griesbach, 1996 ). In morning glory, flower color varied from reddish
