high water activity neutral ph
low water and low ph

The optimum pH for catalase activity is around pH 7, which is neutral. Catalase works best at this pH level to break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Generally the juice of vegetables is under 7.
The water activity in sprouts (mung bean, soy, alfalfa, etc) is high. They are a potentially hazardous food.
Water sprouts are tornados on water and tornados are on land. Water sprouts are less violent than tornados because theres not alot to destroy on the water!!!
The optimum pH for chymotrypsin is around pH 8.0 - 9.0. This alkaline pH range is ideal for the enzyme to exhibit its maximum activity and efficiency in catalyzing peptide bond cleavage. Deviations from this pH range can result in reduced enzyme activity.
The activity of salivary amylase is highest around neutral pH, typically between pH 6.5 to 7.5. Any significant deviation from this pH range can lead to a decrease in enzyme activity.
Brussel sprouts can turn purple due to a natural pigment called anthocyanin, which is influenced by factors like temperature, soil pH, and genetics.
pH
To determine the optimum pH of an enzyme, you can conduct experiments at different pH levels and measure the enzyme activity. The pH at which the enzyme shows the highest activity is considered its optimum pH.
The balance of pH, different areas of the body or water etc. require specific pHs. The pH scale measures acidity. pH 1-6 are acid, pH 7 is neutral and pH 8-14 are alkali.
