alkalization
Making something basic
Alkalization is the process of making something more alkaline—raising its pH level.
In medicine, urinary alkalization treats certain poisonings by making urine less acidic.
In cooking, alkalized cocoa (Dutch-process) has been treated to reduce acidity and mellow the flavor.
The verb is alkalize: The soil needs to be alkalized before planting.
