Meat industry
Rapid tests of protein content in raw meat and processed meat products

Meat consumption has played a key role in human evolution. Its consumption provided our ancestors with essential nutrients, contributed to the development of the brain and intellectual abilities, and played an important role in the formation of social structures. In today’s world, meat remains an important element of the diet, providing high-quality protein and essential micronutrients, which contributes to the health and well-being of people.
In the meat industry, it is important to ensure high quality and safety of products. Controlling the protein and sulphur content of raw meat and processed meat products plays an important role in maintaining nutritional value and meeting safety standards.
Quality control in the meat industry is regulated by standards such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and ISO 22000. These standards require accurate analysis of protein and sulfur content, which affects the quality and safety of meat products.

In the meat industry, Dumas tests are widely used.
For example
AOAC 992.15 – Nitrogen (total) in meat and meat products.
ISO 16634-2 – Determination of nitrogen and protein calculation in foods.
ISO 937 – Determination of nitrogen and protein calculation in meat and meat products.
Our Dumalyzer™ N/Protein and Dumalyzer™ CHNS-O element analyzers are ideal solutions for meat processing laboratories. They provide fast and accurate protein and sulfur analysis, which is critical to ensuring the high quality and safety of meat products. The instruments allow you to monitor the nitrogen content to accurately determine the protein level and measure the sulfur content to assess the effect of preservatives on the product. Choose Dumalyzer™ – a reliable assistant in ensuring the quality of meat products.
