Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meat quality testing technology, and in particular to a meat color measuring instrument for meat quality testing. Background Technology

[0002] Meat is a good source of many minerals, containing relatively high levels of sodium, potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine, as well as iron, copper, manganese, zinc, and cobalt. However, it is extremely low in calcium. Soluble minerals (such as potassium and sodium) are easily lost with the juices during the freeze-thaw process of meat. Iron, copper, zinc, and other minerals exist in combination with protein and are not easily lost during processing. Meat is an indispensable item in people's daily lives. With economic development and the improvement of my country's legal system, food safety issues are receiving increasing attention, especially the inspection and monitoring of meat products. As society develops and people's living standards improve, people have higher and higher requirements for meat quality. The edible quality of meat mainly includes tenderness, texture, juiciness and flavor. Among these, tenderness plays an important role in guiding people's consumption trends. Moreover, a large part of the commercial value of meat depends on its tenderness, and tenderness usually needs to be detected by measuring the color of meat using a meat color analyzer.

[0003] Existing flesh color measuring instruments have the following drawbacks in practical use: During the use of the meat color analyzer, some meats contain a lot of moisture and oil. After the meat is placed on the test platform, some moisture and oil residue will adhere to the surface of the platform. In order to ensure the accuracy of subsequent meat testing, the staff needs to clean and wipe the platform, thus reducing the testing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In the existing technology, meat color measuring instruments have a technical problem: some meats contain a lot of water and oil, and after the meat is placed on the testing platform, some water and oil residue will adhere to the surface of the platform.
