Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of probiotic fermentation, in particular to a multifunctional sampling device for probiotic fermentation. Background Art
[0002] Probiotic fermentation sampling is a key link in the probiotic production process. Samples are regularly obtained from the fermentation tank through aseptic operation to monitor the growth status, metabolic activity and physical and chemical indicators of the fermentation liquid of probiotics, thereby optimizing the fermentation process and ensuring product quality and safety.
[0003] In the probiotic fermentation sampling environment, it is usually necessary to sample multiple different fermentation tanks separately. The operator needs to hold different sampling cups and align them with the sampling tubes to collect samples. The operation is relatively cumbersome. When opening the sampling valve, if the sample output flow is large, it may cause the sample to splash, thereby increasing the difficulty of cleaning after sampling. In addition, steam is usually required to clean and disinfect the sampling tubes before and after sampling, and the wastewater generated during the process is inconvenient to collect. Therefore, a multifunctional probiotic fermentation sampling device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
