E su'esu'e e saienitisi aafiaga o mea'ai i le paleni o le acid-base o le tino e ala i le iloiloina o le tuufaatasiga o minerale o mea'ai. Afai o le mineral composition e maualuga le alkaline, o le oloa e sili atu ona i ai se aafiaga alkaline, ma vice versa.
I se isi faaupuga, o le tali atu o le tino i ni elemene laiti e iloa ai po o fea meaʻai e faʻasalaina ma o mea e faʻamaʻi. O tipolo, mo se faʻataʻitaʻiga, e faʻamaʻi i latou lava, ae e iai sona aafiaga alkaline i le taimi o le faʻamaʻiina. E faapena foi, o le susu e iai sona aafiaga alkaline i fafo atu o le tino, ae o se aafiaga oona pe a eliina.
O le tu'ufa'atasiga o le 'ele'ele na fa'aaogaina e totō ai fuala'au 'aina ma fuala'au 'aina e iai sona a'afiaga tele i le tau o minerale. O le i'uga, e mafai ona 'ese'ese mea o lo'o i totonu o nisi mea, ma o laulau 'ese'ese e mafai ona atagia ai tulaga eseese o le pH (acidity-alkalinity) o oloa tutusa.
O le mea autu i meaʻai o le faʻateʻaina lea o meaʻai gaosia mai le taumafataga, suia i mea fou, ma tuʻuina atu le fiafia i fualaau aina ma fualaau faisua.
Lisi o fuala'au suamalie ma fa'ama'i fa'ama'i, fualaau faisua ma isi mea'ai
