An Automated Method to Monitor Dairy Acidification

Monitoring dairy acidification is a critical yet challenging process, as even minor deviations can lead to significant financial losses due to compromised product quality. Traditionally, acidity testing involves manual sampling and lab analysis, which is time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error. To address these inefficiencies, a dairy quality lab adopted the iCinac system—the only solution designed specifically for monitoring acidification activity in lactic elements. This innovative system tracks pH, temperature, and redox potential in real time across multiple samples, enabling precise control over acidification starters and ensuring batch consistency. By streamlining the process, the iCinac has helped companies optimize starter selection, improve quality control, and standardize testing procedures globally. It also complies with ISO 26323|IDF 213 standards for continuous pH measurement in dairy cultures, making it a game-changer for the industry.
