Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of sampling devices, in particular to a portable sampling device used for ripening beef after slaughter. Background Art
[0002] Post-slaughter maturation of beef is the process of transforming muscle into meat after slaughter. Generally, beef can be deacidified and matured simultaneously in 5-7 days. The temperature is generally 4°C, and a certain humidity needs to be controlled. Under normal circumstances, beef samples are placed in a refrigerator or freezer with the temperature set to 0-4°C for deacidification and maturation. However, for beef sampling in some remote areas, the location is relatively remote, especially in high-altitude areas, and sampling transportation and testing are inconvenient. If a mini refrigerator or car refrigerator is used, although it can provide convenient transportation and an environment for deacidification, it is impossible to complete the wet maturation of beef and the determination of drip loss (water retention). Therefore, it is necessary to further optimize the structure of the existing refrigerator to meet the above requirements. Utility Model Content
