The titratable acidity values will vary depending on the method used. Select Low 50 to titrate a
non-diluted sample, or select Low 20 / High 20 to titrate 20 mL or 20 g samples that are diluted
with twice its volume of deionized a distilled water. The
HI84529
uses methods based on AOAC
International and Standard Methods for the Examination of Dairy Products. Both of these methods
report titratable acidity as % lactic acid, a rough conversion factor can be used to convert the results
to the other available units:

The
HI84529
can be customized to meet the needs of any dairy analysis lab. Samples can be titrated
by weight or volume, diluted or non-diluted (low range only) and titrated to a fixed pH endpoint that
can be adjusted by the user.
