Pancreatic lipase's optimum pH is around 8.0, which means that it works best in a weak alkaline solution.
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.
The optimum PH of pepsin ranges between 1.0 and 4.0. Pepsin exhibits about 90 percent of the maximum activity and about 35% of the maximum activity.
The pH is the co-logarithm of the activity of the dissolved ions H+ in a solution. The formula is (a is the activity):pH = - log10 aH
pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion (H+) activity in a solution.
The pH is varied to effect, by its affect, this test.

4.0-5.0
this is because Lactase activity increase at a pH of 7 and 8 but at a pH of 7, the activity is maximum. At a pH above 7, the activity is decreasing. At a pH of 1 and 2, Lactase is inactive. Therefore, Lactase work best at a pH between 7 and 8.

high water activity neutral ph
low water and low ph
pH optimum: 7.8 (pH 6.0: about 35% of maximal activity, pH 9.3: 40% of maximal activity)
Every enzyme works at its maximum rate at a specific temprature called as optimum temprature for that enzyme. AND all enzymes work at their maximum rate at narrow range of pH, called as optimum pH. A slight increase or decrease in pH causes the retardation in enzyme activity or blocks it completely.
pH
As you increase the temperature at first the activity of an enzymes will also increase, so the reaction will go faster. At a certain temperature, called the optimum temperature, the enzyme will work at its maximum rate. Above the optimum temperature the enzyme activity decreases. This is due to the loss of shape by the enzyme molecules, a process called denaturation. In mammals, most enzyme shave an optimum temperature of about 37 oC. Roughly speaking, the rate of an enzyme reaction doubles for each 10 oC rise in temperature, until the optimum temperature is reached. pH affects enzymes in a similar way. At a low pH many enzymes have a low activity. As the pH increases the enzyme activity increases until the optimum pH at which the enzyme has maximum activity. Above this pH enzyme activity decreases. These effects are also dueto denaturation of the enzyme molecules at extreme pH values. Many enzymes work best at around pH 7.0. An important exception is pepsin, a protein-digesting (protease) enzyme in the stomach. This works at low pH values such as those found in the stomach (around pH 2.0), due to the presence of hydrochloric acid.
