Abstract: A method for determining a state parameter of a frying medium (3), in which at least one event parameter which describes at least one frying event (10) is measured and processed for the determination, as well as a method for determining the quantity of water entrained into a frying medium (3) during a frying process and/or frying event (10) in which a foam formation is measured and evaluated during the frying process and/or frying event 10 are provided. A detection device (11) for detecting frying events (10) of a fryer (12) having a sensor (13) fitted above the fryer (12) and/or directed toward the fryer (12) and having a computer, in which the detection device (11) is configured to carry out the method is also provided. A fryer (12) which has a detection device (11) is further provided.

Abstract: A method for determining the measurement value of a measurement quantity of a substance using a color indicator, the color indicator having at least one indicator field having previously been brought into contact with the substance, is characterized in that the color indicator and a color reference are visually sensed, the color reference having at least two reference fields of different colors, that an intermediate value of the measurement quantity is obtained with computer assistance based on the captured color values of the reference fields and the indicator field, and that the measurement value of the substance is obtained from this intermediate value.

Abstract: A discoid sample holder (1), on which a device (2) for carrying out at least one processing step is formed. According to the invention, a slot (3), into which a sampling instrument (4) can be introduced, and a mechanism (5) for releasing a sample from the sampling instrument (4) arranged in the receptacle (3), is formed in the sample holder.
