It is slightly acidic with a pH ranging from 6 to 7.
saliva is an acidic because it helps break down food before you swallow it
Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that turns pink in basic solutions, and colorless in acidic solutions. Normal pH of saliva ranges between 6.2 (acidic) and 7.4 (basic), with 7 being neutral pH. So, the answer is, "it depends." Is the saliva acidic, or basic?
how to make saliva less acidic
is saliva more acidic than blood? Saliva is alkaline in nature with a pH of 7.4. The blood in our body is alkaline, just like our saliva when we are new-born babies and the pH decreases as we age. So, saliva, for the major part of our life, is not more acidic than blood. But, you know, it depends upon the individual as the saliva and blood pH levels may vary from person to person.
Yes.. Saliva is a basic and alkaline, but not an acid.

Saliva is usually basic, and when we eat something acidic it neutralizes it and is the first thing that starts to break down the food. Anything we eat or drink saliva is make it basic. (i think most of our food that we eat or drink is acidic). HOPE THIS HELPED :)

The pH range of the mouth is 5.6-6.9 slightly acidic, this is the environment in which human amylase (starch breakdown enzyme) is most active.
immediately apply saliva. Mosquito bites are acidic whereas saliva is basic in pH levels. acid neutralizes bases
human saliva is neutral with a pH of 7
Yes.. Saliva is a basic and alkaline, but not an acid.
