In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base. The overall reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This transfer of protons characterizes the reaction, distinguishing it from other acid-base theories. As a result, the acid converts into its conjugate base, while the base becomes its conjugate acid. This framework highlights the dynamic nature of acid-base interactions in various chemical reactions.
In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride

The pH of a ripe banana is about 4.5 to 5.2, a weak acid.
Potassium is the name of the acid found in banana.

The ingredients in banana juice are: water, high fructose corn syrup, banana puree, citric acid, CMC (an Emulsifier) and ascorbic acid.

I dare say that all fruit juices are acidic mixtures; lemon juice contains citric acid, which is an almost a strong, three-fold acid.
Sulfuric acid is used in the preparation of banana oil because it acts as a catalyst to promote the esterification reaction between isoamyl alcohol and acetic acid to produce isoamyl acetate, which is the compound responsible for the banana-like scent. The sulfuric acid helps increase the rate of the reaction and improve the yield of the desired product.
Bananas contain mainly citric acid and malic acid. However, the majority of the acid in bananas is malic acid.
