How do you avoid alkaline reversion?

Answer 1

Alkaline reversion happens when microbes metabolize all the sugar with production of acid, then with continued incubation, the amino acids in peptones are metabolized and ammonia may be released as a waste. this in turn reacts with water in the medium to form the base ammonium hydroxide, an alkaline waste, which neutralizes the acid and elevates the pH

So the way to avoid alkaline reversion is to elliminate the microbe concerned.

Answer 2

To avoid alkaline reversion in seafood, you can prevent overcooking by monitoring cooking times and temperatures closely. Additionally, using acidic ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar in your recipes can help neutralize alkalinity. Lastly, storing seafood properly in airtight containers in the refrigerator can also prevent alkaline reversion.
