ST-16A meat tenderness tester is a special instrument designed and manufactured in strict accordance with the standard NY/T 1180-2006 meat tenderness determination shear force method. The oil tenderness tester simulates the chewing effect of human teeth on muscle and various foods, measures the shear value of muscle and food samples, displays the measurement results numerically, and expresses the tenderness of food.
Precision Meat Tenderness Tester NY/ T1180-2006 Meat Tenderness Shear Tester
The muscle tenderness meter can quickly measure the muscle tenderness, and can also measure the tenderness, hardness and other physical parameters of fruits, vegetables, flour products and other foods, providing direct data for meat quality analysis and livestock breeding. It is an ideal testing equipment for food manufacturers, quality inspection, commodity 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.
