Stomacher apparatus

Manufactured by Seward Medical
Sourced in United Kingdom

The Stomacher apparatus is a laboratory equipment used for the homogenization and blending of solid or semi-solid samples, such as food, feed, or environmental samples, prior to microbiological analysis. The device utilizes a stomaching action, where the sample is placed in a sterile bag and subjected to a controlled mixing motion, effectively breaking down the sample into a homogeneous suspension.

Sourdough pH and Acidity Determination

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pH value was recorded by immersing the electrode (WTW, Weilheim, Germany) into the sourdough. Sourdough samples (10 g) were homogenized with 90 mL of distilled water using Stomacher apparatus (Seward, London, UK). The acidity (TTA) was titrated using 0.1 N NaOH and expressed in % lactic acid.

TTA was determined on 10 g of sauerkraut homogenized with 90 mL of distilled water using a Stomacher apparatus (Seward, London, UK), and expressed as the amount (mL) of 0.1 M NaOH to reach a pH of 8.3. The value of pH was measured by a Foodtrode electrode (Hamilton, Bonaduz, Switzerland).

Salmonella detection in pork samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microbiological analysis of pork samples was performed by homogenizing each sample (10 ± 0.2 g) with 90 ml ¼ Ringer solution in a stomacher apparatus (Seward, London, UK) for 60 s. Enumeration of surviving Salmonella populations was performed by plating 100 μl of the appropriate dilution in Xylose Lysine Decarboxylase (XLD; Lab M Limited, Lancashire, UK). Plates were incubated for 24 h at 37 °C.

Comprehensive Fruit Composition Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total titratable acidity (TTA) was determined on 10 g of samples homogenized with 90 mL of distilled water using a Stomacher apparatus (Seward, London, UK), and expressed as the amount (mL) of 0.1 M NaOH to reach a pH of 8.3. The value of pH was measured by a Foodtrode electrode (Hamilton, Bonaduz, Switzerland). Chemical analyses concerning total proteins, fat content, and dry matter were determined by MilkoScan™ FT6000 (Foss Electric A/S, Hillerod, Denmark), based on Fourier-transformed infrared technology [26 (link)].
Carbohydrates were determined in water-soluble extract (W-SE) by HPLC analysis. Two grams of freeze-dried fruit powder were extracted with 20 mL of water/perchloric acid (95:5, v:v). In an ice bath, the mixture was sonicated (amplitude 60) with a macro-probe (Vibra-Cell sonicator; Sonic and Materials Inc., Danbury, CT, USA) for 1 min (two cycles, 30 s/cycle, 5 min interval between cycles). The suspension was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, kept at 4 °C overnight, and centrifuged for 10 min at 10,000 rpm. W-SE was filtered and stored at −20 °C until further use. A Spherisorb column (Waters, Milford, CT, USA) and a Perkin Elmer 200a refractive index detector were used to determine the concentrations of glucose, fructose, mannitol, and sucrose [25 (link)]. Carbohydrates standards were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
