Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to liquid food inspection technical field, concretely is a kind of combined device of gel sample preparation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Milk, egg white liquid all belong to liquid food raw materials, usually in order to better understand the processing characteristics of liquid food raw materials, it is directly heated to become gel sample, then its structure characteristics (hardness, elasticity, cohesion, gel characteristics, chewiness, resilience) are detected by texture analyzer.

[0003] At present, texture analyzer can be used as a kind of physical property analysis instrument to measure the gel properties and texture of whole egg liquid gel, to provide theoretical basis for expanding the application of whole egg liquid in food processing field and developing new egg products, sample preparation: take 20mL whole egg liquid sample and place it in 25mL small beaker, seal with preservative film, heat in 90℃ water bath, quickly cool after taking out, and stand at 4℃ for testing.

[0004] As the literature International Journal of Food Science and Technology 2022, 57, Effect of refrigeration storage on functional properties and structure of egg white after defrosting treatments records how to prepare gel sample, place egg liquid in 2cm×2cm×2cm heating container, heat in water bath at 90℃ for 40min.

[0005] The prior art has the following disadvantages: since liquid sample has flowability, it must be placed in 2cm×2cm×2cm square container, and the container can be heated in water bath, and the closest sample preparation container is the smallest 25mL small beaker (high 57mm, outer diameter 37mm), which can barely prepare regular gel sample, but it is difficult to stabilize such small volume of liquid heated in water bath, and it is always worried that it will be washed away by water in water bath, causing sample preparation failure. Even if it is successfully heated, it is also difficult to completely separate the heated gel from the beaker. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0006] The utility model aims at providing a combined device for preparing gel sample to solve the problems of unstable gel container in water bath process and difficult separation after coagulation.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides a kind of combined device for making gel sample, including water bath and gel mould, it is characterized by: water bath is equipped with water bath plate, multiple water bath through holes are equipped on the water bath plate, multiple socket structures are equipped on the water bath plate, gel mould is fixedly inserted on the socket structure, transverse cutting mechanism is equipped in the lower part of the gel mould, and the gel mould further includes longitudinal cutting mechanism.

[0008] Further, the gel mould includes gel shell and sealing top cover, and the gel shell and the sealing top cover constitute a gel chamber.

[0009] Further, in order to avoid the adhesion between the gel sample and the gel chamber, the transverse cutting mechanism includes a transverse cutting port, which is located at the lower part of the side wall of the gel shell, and a transverse cutting piece is inserted in the transverse cutting port.

[0010] Preferably, the longitudinal cutting mechanism is a longitudinal cutting cover, which is matched with the shape of the gel chamber, and the bottom of the longitudinal cutting cover is open, and the longitudinal cutting cover is inserted into the gel chamber from top to bottom and is in contact with the transverse cutting piece.

[0011] In order to prevent liquid leakage during water bath, a rubber sealing ring is arranged between the transverse cutting port and the transverse cutting piece, and the rubber sealing ring is fixed on the transverse cutting port; a rubber sealing ring is arranged between the sealing top cover and the gel shell.

[0012] In order to facilitate fixation, the bottom of the gel mould is provided with a socket block, which is inserted into the socket structure for fixation, and the more the number of socket blocks, the more stable the socket effect.

[0013] Preferably, the socket structure is a magnetic socket groove, and a magnetic socket block is inserted into the magnetic socket groove.

[0014] Preferably, the socket structure is a socket through hole, and the size of the socket block is longer than the size of the socket through hole.

[0015] This invention offers the following advantages: In existing technologies, small beakers are unstable when heated in a water bath, and after the water bath, the gel sample cannot be easily detached, with some adhering to the beaker, resulting in irregular shapes and failing to meet testing requirements. This invention is suitable for preparing gel samples from liquid food raw materials. The raw material is injected into a gel mold, which is fixed to a water bath plate. Hot water is used to heat the gel mold through the water bath's through-holes, preventing the gel mold from being washed away during the heating process. After the water bath, the sealed top cover is removed, and the beaker is then cut into the required shape, such as 2cm×2cm×2cm or 3cm×3cm×3cm, using both transverse and longitudinal cutting mechanisms. This avoids adhesion and damage to the gel sample, thus meeting the shape requirements for texture analyzer testing. The overall structure allows for the batch preparation of gel samples, improving efficiency and quality. Attached Figure Description
