Description
The professional yoghurt handheld pH/°C meter with pH electrode FC2133 is a robust, waterproof, HACCP-compliant instrument for measuring pH and temperature in yoghurt. Yoghurt is produced by fermenting milk with live cultures such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus; lactose is converted to lactic acid, pH falls and milk proteins coagulate to form the familiar texture. Producers typically stop incubation by rapid cooling once a target end point between pH 4,0 and 4,6 is reached, balancing acidity, consistency, flavour and resistance to unwanted microbes. Accurate pH control therefore underpins batch-to-batch texture, taste and shelf life and helps limit defects such as excessive bitterness or syneresis.
This article is part of pH electrodes & sensors, in pH & electrochemistry.
The supplied Foodcare electrode FC2133 is built for semi-solid to pasty yoghurt matrices: a conical tip eases insertion and an open junction reduces clogging by high solids. It links to the meter through a waterproof Quick Connect DIN connector. Hanna Instruments integrates CAL Check™ so calibration data highlight electrode fouling, cleaning or replacement needs, or possible buffer contamination, and electrode condition is shown as a percentage in 10 % increments. Pack size is 1 pc; battery-powered handheld operation supports line-side and laboratory fermentation control.

Questions about Professional Portable Yogurt pH Meter
What is this article?
Professional Portable Yogurt pH Meter is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hanna Instruments for laboratory use. It sits in pH electrodes & sensors, inside pH & electrochemistry, in Lab instruments.
A pH electrode is a glass membrane and a reference. It is a consumable: the glass ages, the junction clogs, and the reading drifts. A refillable electrode and a gel electrode differ in how they are maintained. The connector has to match the meter. The electrode, not the meter, is usually what is wrong.
A pH meter is a voltmeter on a glass electrode. The voltage tracks hydrogen-ion activity, and the electrode is converted to pH only after it is adjusted with buffers of known value. Conductivity measures how well a solution carries a current, which for dilute salts tracks concentration. Dissolved oxygen and titration are further electrodes on the same idea: a sensor, a standard, and a reading that is only as fresh as the calibration. Buffer values and chemical identity sit on PubChem. Accreditation of the calibration laboratory is the field of BELAC and EURAMET.
