Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of breast muscle tenderness measurement, in particular to a water bath device used for breast muscle tenderness measurement. Background Art

[0002] When the shear force method is used to determine the tenderness of breast muscle samples, the breast muscle samples of broiler chickens are placed in a sealed bag and placed in a 4°C cold storage for 24 hours of ripening, then taken out and the whole bag is placed in an 80°C constant temperature water bath for heating. The center temperature of the meat sample is measured with a thermometer. When the center temperature reaches 70°C, the meat sample is taken out and cooled in running water for subsequent measurement. When using a water bath for heating, in order to improve the detection efficiency, several breast muscle samples are generally placed in the water bath at the same time. The same piece of meat sample is easy to fold after heating, resulting in uneven heating. At the same time, different meat samples are easy to move in the water and stack on each other, which will also cause uneven heating in the water bath, resulting in human errors in the subsequent shear force measurement.
