Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rapid determination, in particular to a tool box for determining the sweetness of fresh sweet potatoes. Background Art

[0002] Fresh sweet potatoes, thanks to their unique and outstanding flavor and texture, are becoming a popular choice on the dining table. The sweetness of their flesh is a quality indicator of primary concern for consumers and breeders. Since sweetness is also a key quality indicator for many fruits, vegetables, and sugar crops, similar measurement devices and standards are currently available. Analysis of soluble solids in apples in the consumer market primarily utilizes near-infrared spectroscopy (NY / T1841-2010). A calibration model established based on over 100 samples enables rapid, non-destructive analysis of apple samples. However, existing techniques require near-infrared instrumentation, which limits convenience and incurs high equipment costs. Furthermore, large batches of samples must be analyzed to establish the calibration model, resulting in a significant workload. Furthermore, soluble solids analysis is merely a prediction, not a determination of content, making it difficult to provide accurate values. Sugarcane and sugar beets, China's most important sugar crops, already have standards guiding the determination of sugar content (or brix) (DB53 / T664.2-2015 & QB / T5016-2016). Both standards rely on polarimeters to determine the sugar content of cane juice and beet paste filtrate. However, to ensure measurement accuracy, polarimeters are often complex and require clarification of the filtrate. The refractometry method for determining the Brix of cane juice is similar to the refractometer method for determining the soluble solids content of fruits and vegetables (NY / T2637-2014), both of which measure the mass percentage of soluble solids in the squeezed juice.

[0003] Therefore, the sweetness measurement device for fruits and vegetables in the food market now mainly uses a refractometer to measure the mass percentage of soluble solids in the squeezed transparent juice. However, the water content in the cooked fresh sweet potato flesh is not high enough, and it is usually difficult to squeeze out the juice, making it impossible to scientifically measure.

[0004] Currently, there is no standardized sweetness measurement device for fresh sweet potatoes on the market. To measure the sweetness of fresh sweet potato flesh, existing measurement devices for fruits, vegetables, and sugar crops are mainly used. However, unlike common fruits and plants, sweet potatoes have a low water content, making it difficult to squeeze out juice. Furthermore, the flesh is dense and has poor light transmittance. This results in poor accuracy and repeatability of sweetness meter results, resulting in erroneous sweetness information and preventing standardized measurement. Therefore, a sweetness measurement kit for fresh sweet potatoes is needed to address these technical issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides a sweetness measurement tool kit for fresh sweet potatoes, which, compared with traditional sweetness meters, can simply and quickly measure the sweetness of ripened fresh sweet potatoes.
