titrables
Titrables refers to substances or functional groups that can be quantified by titration with a standard reagent. In chemistry and related disciplines, a titratable quantity is determined by measuring the amount of reagent required to reach a defined endpoint, such as a specified pH or neutralization point. The term is commonly encountered in discussions of titratable acidity and in analyses of foods, beverages, soils, polymers, and biomolecules where acid–base groups are present.
In a titration, a solution containing the titratable species is gradually reacted with a titrant of known
Common contexts include titratable acidity in foods and drinks, where total acidity is reported as titratable
Limitations include dependence on the chosen endpoint, buffering effects, and the assumption of complete reaction with
