Abstract
An algorithm developed for pH computation has been tested to calculate the theoretical pH changes in a culture medium during the course of a fermentation. A divergence between the computed pH value and the value measured with the electrode allows us to highlight the presence of undetected ionic products. The calculation with the algorithm by means of a computer requires only the knowledge of the ionic properties of the substrates and detected products and existing thermodynamic constants.
