Inā piʻi ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hydrogen i hoʻopau ʻia i ka wā o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana, i ka holomua ʻana o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana, he hōʻailona kēia no ka ʻeli ʻana o ke kō i hoʻāʻo ʻia a i ʻole he ʻeleu loa ka bacteria fermentation (overgrowth).

ʻO ka pae hydrogen i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma mua o 20 ppm (mau ʻāpana o ka miliona) manaʻo ʻia he mea ʻino, e like me ka piʻi ʻana o 10 ppm mai ka pae kumu.

Ma muli o nā hopena, a lapaʻau meaʻai a hoʻolālā paha e hāʻawi ʻia iā ʻoe.
