GENErAL DESCrIPTION & INTENDED USE
3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION & INTENDED USE
The HI84529 is an affordable, easy to use, microprocessor-based automatic mini titrator and pH
meter designed for the rapid and accurate analysis of Total Titratable Acidity in Dairy Products.
The HI84529 will quickly become a valuable tool by eliminating subjective factors including color
indicators, errors in calculations or erratic titrant additions.
The instrument benefits from Hanna Instruments’ many years of experience as a manufacturer of
quality analytical instrumentation. A clear and well-designed user interface makes the instrument
intuitive and simple to use.
By pressing the Start key in Titrator mode, the instrument will automatically titrate the sample to the
set endpoint, perform all necessary calculations and display the results in the selected unit. At the end
of the titration, another titration can be started by pressing the Restart key.
A dedicated HELP key aids in setup, calibration and troubleshooting.
Other features:
• pH meter / mV meter
• Stir speed control
• Graphic mode to display the titration data
• Data can be stored using the log feature and then exported to a USB stick or transferred to a PC
using the USB connection
• Log on demand for up to 400 samples (200 mV/pH measurements; 200 for titration results)
• GLP feature, to view calibration data for the pH electrode and pump
Significance of Use
Titratable acidity can be expressed in several units; % lactic acid (% l.a.), degree Soxhlet Henkel
(°SH), degree Dornic (°D) or degree Thörner (°TH). Each of these units corresponds to a specific
procedure used to titrate dairy products.
Soxhlet Henkel degrees (°SH)
mostly used in Central Europe exept France and the Netherlands.
This value is a number of mL of 0.25N NaOH used for titration of
100 mL milk, using phenolphtalein as indicator.
Thörner degrees (°Th)
mostly used in Sweden and the CIS. This value is obtained by
titrating 100 mL of milk, diluted with 2 parts of distilled water,
with 0.1N NaOH, using phenolphtalein as indicator
Dornic degrees (°D)
mostly used in Netherlands and France. This value is obtained
by titrating 100 mL of milk, with N/9 (0.11 N) NaOH, using
phenolphtalein as indicator.
Percent lactic acid (%l.a.)
frequently used in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New
Zealand This value is obtained in the same way as °D, dividing
the result by 100.

GENErAL DESCrIPTION & INTENDED USE
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:
From To Divide by
%l.a. °SH 0.0225
%l.a. °D 0.0100
%l.a. °TH 0.0090
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.

PrINCIPLE OF OPErATION
4. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The methodology for titratable acidity in dairy products is based on neutralization reaction where
the acids in the sample (i.e. lactic acid) reacts with a base (i.e. sodium hydroxide) to produce water:
H++OH¯H2O
In an ideal solution, the endpoint of an acid titration corresponds stoichiometrically to the complete
neutralization of the acids present.
This endpoint for this reaction can be determined visually using a color indicator (i.e. phenolphthalein),
however this endpoint becomes very objective in opaque and colored samples. The HI84529 removes
this issue by titrating to a fixed pH endpoint that can be set by the user. The HI84529 can be
customized to meet individual needs with samples titrated by mass or by volume, in two different
ranges, with diluted and non-diluted (low range only). For precise analysis the sample size, volume
of titrant added and titrant concentration must be known.
The HI84529 Titratable Acid in Dairy Products Mini Titrator utilizes a simple sample preparation, a high
quality dosing pump for titrant additions, potentiometric endpoint determination and instantaneous
computations. To maintain the high accuracy of the mini titrator a simple pump calibration is required.
The pump calibration uses a known quantity of a known solution to compensate for changes in the
dosing system, this procedure should be performed regularly.
