AACC Method 10-05
Bread Volume is one of the most important physical quality control characteristics of bread. It is an important feature of the quality control process of bread production as well as consumer appeal. It provides information about bread formulation, ingredient quality, dough handling, gas retention and processing conditions, as well as its texture. The device is used for quality control observations and food analysis applications as well as for production process controls of bakery products. Bastak Brand 13300 Model Bread Volume Meter is a special measuring device for measuring the volume of bread, steamed bread and various irregular solid foods.

Working Principle;
The working principle of the device is based on the fact that the grain used for testing is equivalent to the volume of the tested bakery products. The measuring chamber of the device is turned downwards.
Seed transfer is made to be used for displacement from the measuring chamber until it reaches the zero level. Transfers must be made by keeping them upright at 90°. After zero adjustment is made, the measuring chamber is turned upwards. The sample to be measured is placed in the unit so that the seeds can easily enter its surroundings. The device, which is closed after insertion, is rotated 180 °. Afterwards, the volume of the seed in the transfer tube is read from the degree.
