In the food sector, there are numerous regulations that require the monitoring of compliance with certain measured values. The safe production and processing of food and beverages of consistent quality therefore depends on the greatest possible hygiene and process conformity. The analysis of various parameters helps to ensure food-safe production and quality control.
For example, fruit and vegetables stored in brine, oil, vinegar or water, with the exception of canned fruit and vegetables, must not have a pH value of more than 4.6, as otherwise anaerobic and spore-forming bacteria can develop.
Fresh meat must have a pH value in the range of 5.5 to 6.2. During temporary storage, especially when it is not properly preserved, the fresh meat will turn rancid and have a pH value below 5.3.
With a measurement resolution of 0.01 pH, this waterproof handheld device delivers accurate results even under demanding conditions. It is equipped with a replaceable electrode, a temperature sensor and open measuring chambers, making it extremely versatile. The wide, three-colour LCD display clearly shows the calibration buffers used and the stability of the measurement. Calibration is easy with the push of a button at three points with five selectable US buffer values. In addition, the status of the pH electrode can be checked via the mV display. The device also features a temperature display, automatic temperature compensation in the range of 0–60 °C and an automatic shut-off function – for greater convenience and longer battery life.
