Salt Meter

This meter is designed to measure the salt content in semi-solid food products, such as meat, cold cuts, cheese, salads and much more. To achieve this, the electrical conductivity is measured, since it is dependent on salt content. With this method, it is important that the sample being measured has some water content. The SSX-210 cannot measure pure oil, as it does not contain water or pure fat, because it is an electrical insulator unlike water. Also, vinegar and acids will affect the salt measurement by increasing electrical conductivity.

Every dish or type of food has a specific salt content to ensure proper taste and since the taste of each dish is different the user must prepare their own salt content table for this meter. If, for example, it is determined that the optimal seasoning of cured ham yields a relative value of 86, all further hams can be cured and seasoned until this value is reached.

The value shown with this meter is only a relative reading, as the salt content varies with ingredients and recipes. Once the optimal seasoning has been determined by taste and consistency a measurement can be taken and used as a reference point.

The SSX 210 salt meter is used to measure the

salt content in semi-solid food products, such

as meat, cold cuts, cheese, salads etc. To

achieve this, the electrical conductivity is measured,

since this is dependent on the salt content.

It is important that the medium to be measured

also has a water component. This

means that salt measurements cannot be completed

in pure oil (does not contain water).

Every dish requires a specific salt content to

ensure proper taste. The taste of each dish is

different, however, which means that the user

must prepare his or her own salt content table.

If, for example, it is determined that the optimal

seasoning of cured ham yields a value of 86, all

further hams can be cured and seasoned until

they reach this value.

Example: Display:

yellow sausage 40

cured ham 86

cheese fondue 19

These values cannot be taken directly, as the

salt content depends on the ingredients and recipes.

Please also note that not only the salt

content is measured when vinegar and acids

are used, as these substances also increase the

electric conductivity.
