WHY IS pH CONTROL NEEDED IN CHEESE PROCESSING?
One of the most common measurements of the cheesemaking process is pH. pH is the most important parameter to determine the quality and control the safety of cheese. Milk acidification begins with the addition of bacteria and rennet. Bacteria consume lactose and produce lactic acid as a byproduct of fermentation. The lactic acid produced will lower the pH of the milk. Once the milk reaches a particular pH, rennet is added. The enzymes in rennet speed up coagulation and create a firmer substance. For manufacturers, when diluting rennet, the pH of the dilution water is also important; Water near pH 7 or higher can denature the rennet membrane, causing coagulation problems. Once the curds are cut, stirred, and cooked, the liquid milk must be drained. The pH of drained milk directly affects the composition and texture of the final cheese product. Milk water has a relatively high pH which contributes to increased calcium and phosphate content and results in the milk curdling more quickly. Typical drained pH levels can vary depending on the type of cheese; For example, Swiss cheese is drained between pH 6.3 and 6.5 while Cheddar cheese is drained between pH 6.0 and 6.2. During the salting process, the cheese absorbs salt from the brine solution and loses excess moisture. The pH of the brine solution should be close to the pH of the cheese, ensuring a balance of ions such as calcium and hydrogen. If there is an imbalance during this process, the final product may suffer from pitting, discoloration, weak texture, and a shorter shelf life.
STABLE SYMBOL
The hourglass icon appears during measurement and disappears when the measurement value has stabilized
WIRELESS DESIGN
Compact size ideal for field measurements
OPERATION WITH JUST 1 BUTTON
All measuring and calibration activities are done with just a single button.
CINE-SHAPED ELECTRODE HEAD
Designed to enable users to plug and measure pH directly in solid, semi-solid, emulsion samples in various dairy products during cheese production.
OPEN JOINT
Accumulation of proteins and suspended solids in the junction is a major challenge when measuring pH in cheese and solid to semi-solid cheese products. The open junction design reduces clogging from suspended solids and proteins present in cheese products for more stable pH measurements and reduced maintenance.
ELECTRODE BODY MADE OF PVDF
Polyvinylidene Flouride (PVDF) is a plastic used specifically in food, is resistant to chemicals, is also resistant to UV rays and prevents mold.
