Can ham sausage testing be done? What are the ham sausage testing items and standards? How much does the total bacterial count test for ham sausage cost? How long does it take for a ham sausage test to come out? Foshan Huajin's third-party material testing laboratory can provide all kinds of ham sausage testing services, including quality testing, ingredient testing, pesticide residues, heavy metals, microorganisms, nutrients testing, ROHS testing, etc. As a third-party testing center, the institution has CMA, CNAS certification and testing qualifications, complete testing equipment, scientific and reliable data, and can issue a nationally recognized ham sausage test report within 5-10 working days.
Ham sausage is a kind of meat enema product made of fresh frozen animal meat, poultry meat, fish meat, etc. as the main raw materials, which is pickled, stirred, chopped (or emulsified), poured into plastic casing, and sterilized at high temperature. According to the different raw materials, the taste of leg sausage can be divided into pork ham sausage, beef ham sausage, chicken ham sausage, fish ham sausage, starch sausage and other product categories.
Ham sausage is one of the common meat products in China and is deeply loved by people. However, with the gradual improvement of people's consumption concept, the safety and quality requirements for ham sausage are getting higher and higher, so it is particularly important to carry out ham sausage quality inspection.
Ham sausage quality inspection report project content and process:
1.Preparation before ham sausage quality inspection: Before performing ham sausage quality inspection, it is necessary to prepare the necessary equipment and tools to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Common equipment and tools include: microscopes, micrometer scales, visual inspection platforms, thermometers, pH meters, water content testers, etc.
2.Visual inspection : For ham sausages, visual inspection is an essential step. The visual inspection mainly examines the shape, color, smell and other aspects of the ham sausage, and scores it according to certain criteria. Commonly used visual inspection criteria include: color, odor, surface quality, shape, etc., to evaluate the quality of ham sausage.
3.Chemical composition analysis: The chemical composition analysis of ham sausage can detect the content and proportion of protein, fat, sugar and water in it. The results of the analysis can be used to evaluate the quality of ham sausages and provide a reference for improving the production process.
4.Testing process indicators: The production process of ham sausage has a great impact on its quality, so it is particularly important to test process indicators. Common process indicators include pH value, water content, amino acid content, etc. Among them, the pH value can reflect the acidity of the ham sausage, so as to judge the degree of fermentation and the changes in the storage process. The water content and amino acid content can reflect the quality of the taste and aroma of the ham sausage.
5.Microbiological testing : Ham sausages are meat products that are susceptible to microbial contamination, so it is also important to test them for microorganisms. Common microbial tests include: total colony count, coliform bacteria, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, etc. The test results can determine whether the ham sausage is contaminated with bacteria, spoilage, and whether it meets production standards.
6.Physical index inspection : Physical index inspection is another important step in the quality inspection of ham sausages. Common physical indicators include: hardness, elasticity, texture, shear strength, etc. These indicators can reflect the quality characteristics of ham sausage in terms of taste, texture, chewiness, etc.
7.Auxiliary inspection: In addition to the above aspects of quality inspection, some auxiliary inspections are also required. For example, whether the packaging of ham sausage meets national standards, whether there is damage, deformation, etc. In addition, it is also necessary to check whether the relevant information such as the production date and shelf life is clear and accurate.
For ham sausages, quality inspection is a very important task. It is difficult to meet the standard requirements of large-scale production only by manual and experience, and through a reasonable quality inspection system, the quality and safety of ham sausage can be ensured, and consumers can be provided with peace of mind and safe products.
GB T 20712-2022 General Principles for the Quality of Ham Sausages This document stipulates the product classification, raw and auxiliary materials, feeding requirements, technical requirements, production and processing management, inspection rules, labels, signs, product naming, packaging, storage and transportation requirements, and describes the inspection methods. This document applies to the production, inspection and sale of ham sausage products.
What items are generally tested for ham sausages:
1. Sensory index detection. The appearance, color, tissue status, flavor, impurities and other aspects of ham sausage were tested.
2. Physical and chemical index detection. The protein, starch, fat, moisture, total sugar, peroxide value, complex phosphate, benzopyrene, lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, nitrite, etc. of ham sausage were tested.
3. Microbial detection indicators. The total number of colonies, coliform bacteria, Salmonella, Staphylococcus chromococcus, Shigella, etc. were detected.
4. Detection of harmful substances. The heavy metal content, nitrite, antibiotics, hormones, pesticide residues, and veterinary drug residues of ham sausage were detected.
In addition to the above tests, it is also important to develop appropriate quality standards. The most important indicators include water content, amino acid content, salt content, oil content and protein content.
Ham sausage testing and inspection process:
1. Fill in the application form: contact Huajin testing staff to confirm the testing standards and projects, and sign the power of attorney.
2. Arrange to send samples: send the samples by express or directly to our laboratory.
3. Product testing: After payment, the laboratory arranges testing and issues a draft report.
4. Confirm the draft report and issue a formal report.
5. Report bill delivery service, as well as report interpretation and after-sales service.
The above is the relevant introduction of Huajin Testing on ham sausage testing services, more about the cost of ham sausage testing, standards, projects, cycles and other issues, you can consult ** engineer or call for consultation. (Test The testing cycle, method and steps are subject to the engineer, if the sample is special, you can communicate with the engineer about the particularity of the sample, and the institution can design a reasonable testing and analysis plan for you to save your time).
