Can the chemical properties present in peperomia pellucida has the ability to neutralize gastric acid?

Answer 1

Is this a tricky question, or what? In the first place, the question, I think, is a little off from the usual chemistry terminologies. Chemical properties cannot neutralize per se, but the chemical substances do. Secondly, gastric acid is basically HCl and a review of the identified chemical substances in Peperomia pellucida (PP) are not known to be strong bases and the pH of the PP extract is also not basic enough. Unless the components in PP can control acidity through some other mechanism, say, and antagonistic mechanism against the production and release of more HCl, I think the answer is NO, it cannot.
