Atago MASTER-Soymilk α Refractometer

Introduction to the Atago MASTER-Soymilk α refractometer

The Atago MASTER-Soymilk α refractometer (Code: 2681) is a handheld optical instrument from Atago (Japan), specialized for quality control in soybean food processing procedures. The unit features a dual scale, enabling fast determination of soy solids concentration and magnesium chloride (nigari) coagulant concentration.

Outstanding features

• Convenient dual scale allows users to monitor two critical parameters simultaneously, saving analysis time and improving inspection efficiency.
• Measures soy solids concentration in the range from 0,0 to 20,0% with an accuracy of ±0,5%.
• The soy solids scale is standardized to correspond with the infrared moisture meter method.
• Measures magnesium chloride (nigari) concentration from 0,0 to 12,0% with an accuracy of ±0,2%.

Applications

• Inspecting and monitoring soy solids concentration in soy milk factories and processing facilities.
• Controlling the concentration of nigari coagulant solutions in tofu-making procedures.
• R&D and quality standardization of finished soy products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which parameters can the Atago MASTER-Soymilk α measure?
The refractometer measures soy solids concentration in the range of 0,0 - 20,0% and magnesium chloride (nigari) concentration in the range of 0,0 - 12,0%.

Which standard is the soy solids scale of the unit calibrated against?
The solid concentration scale of the instrument is standardized by Atago based on data from an infrared moisture meter.
