使用 914 pH计/溶解氧仪/电导率仪快速靠谱地进行单次测定

在食品工业中,必须确定和监控某些质量参数,以保证产品的一致性。这对于需要严格冷链控制的液态乳制品尤为重要。事实证明,溶解氧 (DO) 和 pH 值都是可靠的质量标准。 氧气会缩短保质期并影响产品质量(如营养价值、色泽和风味)。溶解氧含量取决于样品中的盐度,914 pH计/溶解氧仪/电导率仪 可在并行电导率测量过程中自动计算和校正盐度。酸度是另一个重要的测量特性,可通过 pH 值轻松检测。 使用 914 pH计/溶解氧仪/电导率仪 只需一台设备即可监测所有重要的质量标准。

In the food industry, it is essential to determine and monitor certain quality parameters to guarantee consistency. This is especially important for liquid dairy products, which are subject to a strict cold chain. Both the dissolved oxygen (DO) and the pH value have proven to be reliable quality criteria. 

Oxygen shortens the shelf life and influences the product quality (e.g., nutritional value, color, and flavor). The DO content depends on the salinity in the sample, which is automatically calculated and corrected by the 914 pH/DO/Conductometer during the parallel conductivity measurement.

Acidity is another important characteristic to measure in liquid dairy products. It can be checked easily using the pH value.

With the 914 pH/DO/Conductometer, all important quality criteria can be monitored with one device. Fast, safe, and reliable analysis for the food industry.

This application is demonstrated on raw milk (untreated and fresh), UHT skimmed milk with 0.1% fat, UHT milk with 1.5% fat, pasteurized milk with 3.5% fat, UHT coffee cream with 15% fat, UHT full-fat cream with 35% fat, and whey drink.

No sample preparation is required.

Figure 1. 914 pH/DO/Conductometer equipped with an O2-Lumitrode, conductivity measuring cell, and iUnitrode (missing in the picture) for the determination of DO, K (conductivity), and pH in liquid dairy products.

The determinations are carried out with a 914 pH/DO/Conductometer equipped with an O2-Lumitrode, conductivity measuring cell, and an iUnitrode. All sensors are pre-calibrated with appropriate standards. 

An appropriate amount of sample is poured carefully (to omit entrainment of oxygen) into the sample beaker equipped with a magnetic stir bar. 

The sensors are placed directly into the sample. The measurement is started and the corresponding parameters are measured until a stable value is reached. Afterwards, the sensors are removed and cleaned with deionized water.

Table 1. Summarized results for DO, conductivity (K), and pH value in several liquid dairy products.
Sample (n = 6) DO in mg/L K in mS/cm pH value
Raw milk 5.81 4.978 6.65
UHT milk 5.86 5.024 6.74
Skimmed milk 0.87 5.119 6.76
Past. milk 10.65 4.868 6.76
Coffee cream 7.74 4.856 6.94
Full-fat cream 0.47 2.530 6.86
Whey drink 8.87 6.406 4.24

The 914 DO/pH/Conductometer is a fast, precise, and reliable all-in-one solution to determine the dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and pH value in liquid dairy products.

Accurate measurement of all listed parameters takes a few minutes. Thanks to the well-known Metrohm quality, the O2-Lumitrode is completely maintenance-free while the Conductivity measuring cell and the iUnitrode are easy to use and robust for daily laboratory work.
