4.0-5.0
Acids have pH values below 7.0. Bases have values above 7.0.

Bases are repestented by values greater than 7 on the pH scale.
pH values higher than 7.3
A lipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of fats. Its optimum pH varies depending on the type of lipase. Pancreatic lipase has an optimum pH of 8.0 while stomach lipase ranges from 4.0 to 5.0.
4.0-5.0
enzymes
Pancreatic lipase's optimum pH is around 8.0, which means that it works best in a weak alkaline solution.
Pepsin. It is located in the stomach. Pepsin helps with the breakdown of food and is a protein. A pH 2 is optimal for the human enzyme pepsin. If the pH level exceeds 7, pepsin becomes denatured or lose its structure; above pH 5,, it will increase function.
Pancreatic lipase's optimum pH is around 8.0, which means that it works best in a weak alkaline solution.
The optimum pH for pectinase is 4, if the ph goes either above or below this the pectinase becomes denatured
Altering the pH might cause the enzymes involved in a reaction to be denatured. When enzymes are denatured, they do not function properly and the rate of the reaction either slows down or completely stops.
Enzyme become denatured.
Enzyme become denatured.
Acids have pH values below 7.0. Bases have values above 7.0.
The enzyme gets denatured or inactive.
