ST120R The High-precision Instrument for Meat Loss Water Testing Food Testing Instruments

ST120R Meat Water Holding Capacity Tester
The ST120R Meat Water Holding Capacity Tester is a new high-precision intelligent testing device engineered with modern mechanical design principles and microcomputer control technology through elaborate rational layout. It is built with premium core components, matched auxiliary fittings and single-chip microcontrollers to realize integrated and multi-functional configuration. Standard configurations include an LCD Chinese display, alongside comprehensive built-in functions covering parameter measurement, data conversion, calibration, real-time display, data storage and print output.
This meat water loss tester is dedicated to evaluating the water retention performance of meat products, featuring complete functions for parameter measurement, data conversion, calibration and visual display.
Water loss rate serves as a critical indicator of meat quality, which directly impacts meat processing yield as well as muscle tenderness. The water holding capacity of meat muscle is mainly determined by the post-slaughter muscle pH value.
In China, the pressurized weighing method is the mainstream testing approach to measure meat water loss rate and further assess muscle water retention capacity. Generally speaking, a higher water loss rate corresponds to poorer water holding capacity.
Calculation formula for water loss rate (%):
Water Loss Rate (%) = (Weight of meat sample before pressurization − Weight of meat sample after pressurization) ÷ Weight of meat sample before pressurization × 100%
This microcomputer-controlled meat pressurization tester is the ideal laboratory testing equipment for food processing enterprises, market supervision inspection institutions, colleges, universities and scientific research institutes.
