ST-16A Meat tenderness tester
The ST-16A meat tenderness tester is a specialized instrument
designed and manufactured in strict accordance with the standard
NY/T 1180-2006 "Determination of Meat Tenderness - Shear Force
Determination Method". The meat tenderness tester simulates the
chewing effect of human teeth on muscles and various foods,
measures the shear values of muscle and food samples, and displays
the measurement results numerically to express the tenderness of
food. The muscle tenderness meter can quickly measure muscle
tenderness, and can also measure physical parameters such as
tenderness and hardness of fruits, vegetables, and flour products,
providing direct data for meat quality analysis and livestock
breeding. It is an ideal testing equipment for food manufacturers,
quality inspection, commercial inspection, universities, scientific
research and other departments.
Principle: tenderness refers to the shearing force required for meat cutting.
The shearing force refers to the force used by the cutting tool of
the testing instrument to cut off the meat sample to be tested.
Record the force of the cutting tool when cutting the meat sample
through the measuring instrument and the sensor, and take the
measured peak value of the shear force (the maximum value of the
force) as the meat sample tenderness value.
Tenderness is an important index to evaluate the physical
characteristics of meat products. It reflects the structural
characteristics of various proteins in meat, the distribution of
fat in muscle and the amount of fat in muscle fiber.
Product features:
1. 7-inch touch screen display
2. High performance stepping motor and precision ball screw drive
are adopted to ensure the precise transmission of the instrument
3. Fully automatic test, automatic curve display, test data
statistical processing function, micro printer output
4. The standard sampler (￠12.7mm) for muscle or food shall be
supplied together with the machine. It is applicable to all kinds
of livestock and poultry muscle foods and all solid foods with
tenderness within the range of (0～250) N.
5. The unit selection is diverse, and the user can switch between
unit n and kg as required.
6. Displacement spacing: 1-300mm.
7. Real time display of force value, displacement and force
displacement curve during test
