'pH meter helps to guarantee quality'

The pH value says a lot about the quality of your product. This makes it an important indicator of food safety. Gullimex offers a wide range of pH meters which also help to determine the shelf life of products.

Safety is paramount in the food industry. In addition, taste and experience are invaluable. One of the most important indicators to ensure this is the pH value. In other words: the acidity of products. "Sushi is a good example in that regard," says Erik Coopman of Gullimex. "Sushi has a pH close to 4. Older sushi has a lower pH and is no longer tasty. So a sushi chef wants a certain pH value to determine the shelf life."

Measuring and recording
The acidity of a product, or the pH, is between 0 and 14. According to Coopman, a pH of 7 is neutral. "Everything above that is basic. A pH value below 7 is acidic. Take milk for example. If it is left too long, it becomes acidic. You will then measure a lower pH value.
this way the quality of products can be properly measured and registered."

Gullimex offers various pH meters at. For example, there are meters with a plug-in electrode that can be used, for example, to determine the pH of meat. But there are also pH meters that you can submerge in liquid. "Whether it is a solid or a liquid, there is a specific pH meter for every product type," says Coopman.

Always the same end product
According to him, as a supplier in the food chain, you cannot do without this type of equipment. "It helps you to guarantee the quality to customers. And to always produce the same end product. Not only the pH is important here. The temperature of products is also essential to determine the shelf life and thus guarantee safety. for fruit and vegetables, the brix value is
important again, for which our brix meters are important resources."
