pH of Blood should not change even slightly as it results in condition called acidosis which is serious and also many chemical reactions of proteins are dependent on pH.
So blood is a buffer mixture of Carbonic acid and bicarbonate which does not allow the pH of blood to change even with intake of acidic foods.
