- antacid an agent that counteracts or neutralizes acidity (especially in the stomach)
- hyperacidity excessive acidity
- acidosis abnormally high acidity (excess hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues
- sour mash a mash with optimum acidity for yeast fermentation; a mixture of old and new mash; used in distilling some whiskeys
- alkaliser an agent that counteracts or neutralizes acidity (especially in the stomach)
- starvation acidosis acidosis in which the acidity results from lack of food which leads to fat catabolism which in turn releases acidic ketone bodies
- antiacid an agent that counteracts or neutralizes acidity (especially in the stomach)
