I really have no idea. I'm trying to find out the same thing for a science project but so far no websites have lead me to the answer. No one seems to know.
According to a list compiled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, the pH of buttermilk ranges from 4.41 - 4.83. http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~comm/lacf-phs.html
My guess, knowing something about the diary butter making process (charning acidified milk = buttermilk) is that the pH is somewhat lower than 5, not neutral anyhow, but slightly acid, though you can't taste it in the 15% water phase. pH in the 85% fat phase is not an issue because pH is defined for aquous solutions and acids do NOT ionise or protolyse in fat (hydrophobic). When butter becomes old and rancid the pH gets lower and is tastable!
Acid curdles milk. If you add a teaspoon of lemon juice to a glass of milk, it will give the milk the taste and texture of buttermilk. Some cooks actually do this when a recipe calls for buttermilk, and they don't have any on hand. It works just as well as using commercial buttermilk.
PH 75 is the most acid.
pH 9 - pH 4 = pH 5 It is stronger by 5 pH.

Trigger and Buttermilk Trigger and Buttermilk
is buttermilk bad for high cholesterol
Yes, buttermilk increases cholesterol.
Buttermilk was Dale Evans' horse.
Buttermilk - Le babeurre Lassi (indian drink meaning sweet buttermilk) - Le babeurre doux
Buttermilk (gelding) was an American Quarter Horse.
Cultered buttermilk can be substituted by kefir.
it makes the buttermilk sour and turns green yellow
Buttermilk falls is located in Owego, New York.
You substitute the buttermilk for the water in the recipe. Measure the buttermilk and put in the freezer about an hour before mixing with the lye. If the buttermilk is not very cold, almost frozen, it will burn when mixed with the lye.
BUTTERMILK was the name of the horse owned by Dale Evans, wife of legendary cowboy Roy Rogers. BUTTERMILK was a light dun (buckskin) Quarter Horse who lived from the early 1940s to the early 1970s. BUTTERMILK's hide was made into a statue when he dies in 1972...he can be seen, along with Roy Rogers's horse TRIGGER...at the Rogers's museum in Branson, Missouri.
