Fermented Food pH Tester
Yewhick PH Meter for Food
FAQ
The Yewhick Food pH Meter is designed to accurately measure the pH (acidity or alkalinity) level of various food products, including meats, dairy, fruits, vegetables, sauces, fermented foods, and more.
pH plays a crucial role in food safety, quality, taste, texture, and preservation. Monitoring pH helps ensure proper fermentation, prevent spoilage, optimize flavors, and meet food safety standards.
Most Yewhick food pH meters use standard AAA or button cell batteries. Battery life varies by model and usage frequency but typically provides hundreds of hours of operation.
Yewhick food pH meters are designed for high accuracy, typically offering a precision of ±0.01 or ±0.02 pH, making them suitable for demanding food testing applications. Specific accuracy levels are detailed in your product's specifications.
First, ensure proper calibration. Check if the probe is clean and stored correctly. Also, verify that the food sample is properly prepared and the probe has good contact with the sample. If issues persist, refer to the troubleshooting section in your manual.
Most Yewhick food pH meters feature automatic temperature compensation (ATC), which adjusts readings for temperature variations. However, it's best to check your specific model's temperature range in the manual for optimal performance.
The meter typically requires calibration with standard pH buffer solutions (e.g., pH 4.00, 7.00, and 10.00). Detailed calibration steps are provided in the user manual, often involving a simple one-button process.
You'll typically need pH 4.00 and pH 7.00 buffer solutions for most food applications. For highly alkaline foods, a pH 10.00 solution might also be beneficial for a wider calibration range.
ATC ensures that your pH readings are accurate regardless of the sample's temperature within the specified range. The meter automatically adjusts the reading to compensate for temperature's effect on pH.
