NY/T 1180-2006 Meat Tenderness Shear Tester for Evaluating Physical Characteristics of Meat Products

NY/T 1180-2006 Meat Tenderness Shear Tester – For Physical Property Evaluation of Meat Products
The ST-16A Meat Tenderness Tester is a dedicated testing device developed and produced in full compliance with the shear force method specified in agricultural industry standard NY/T 1180-2006 for meat tenderness determination.
This tenderness tester simulates the chewing action of human teeth on muscle tissue and various food materials. It measures the shear force of food and muscle samples, displays test data digitally, and quantifies the tenderness of test specimens.
Product Alias
High-Precision Meat Tenderness Tester | NY/T 1180-2006 Standard Shear Force Analyzer
This muscle tenderness testing instrument delivers rapid detection of meat tenderness. It also measures texture parameters including tenderness and hardness for fruits, vegetables, flour-based foods and other agricultural products, supplying objective quantitative data for meat quality assessment and livestock breeding research.
It is the preferred testing equipment for food processing factories, quality supervision laboratories, commodity inspection authorities, colleges, universities and research institutions.
Working Principle
Tenderness is defined as the shear force required to slice through meat tissue. Shear force refers to the load exerted by the instrument’s cutting blade when severing a meat sample.
The built-in sensor and measuring unit record the real-time force applied during cutting, and the peak shear force value (maximum load reading) is taken as the final tenderness index of the tested meat sample.
Tenderness acts as a critical indicator for evaluating the physical properties of meat products. It reflects the structural features of meat proteins, intramuscular fat distribution and fat content within muscle fibers.
