Mustard is a colloid/mixture with a composition of various ingredients. They range from common ingredients such as salt, vinegar, water, flour and more.

Try to be careful of classifying it immediately as an acid or base; but on the pH scale mustard ranks in the lower 3-4's (7.0 pH), classifying it in acids.
