PH318

semi-solid food pH meter is a specialized instrument designed to accurately measure the acidity or alkalinity (pH level) in viscous, pasty, or non-liquid food products. Unlike standard pH meters for liquids, it features a robust, spear-type or flat-surface electrode that can pierce or directly contact samples like cheese, yoghurt, baby food, purees, meats, and doughs.

This direct measurement is crucial for food safety, quality control, and product development. pH is a key factor in determining food safety (inhibiting pathogen growth), texture, flavor, shelf life, and ensuring consistent compliance with food standards. The meter minimizes sample preparation, preventing errors from dilution or extraction.

Key features often include a sturdy, puncture-resistant electrode, automatic temperature compensation (ATC), and easy-to-clean designs. Advanced models offer data logging and user-friendly calibration. By providing fast, reliable in-situ measurements, this instrument is essential for food scientists, quality assurance professionals, and production staff, ensuring products are safe, stable, and meet precise specifications.
