The focus of the color measurement of buns, cookies and snack food is to quantify the color at the level of visual human perception, ensuring that consumer expectations are met.
[/difl_advanced_blurb]
Cereals, flours and pasta underline their quality standards for consumers with color consistency. Baking ingredients, grains and raw cereals are checked to ensure consistency throughout the entire supply chain.
[/difl_advanced_blurb]
Dairy products are extremely diverse: the samples can be opaque liquids, semi-solid products, solid or powdery samples, but the highest quality standards must always be met. Producers meet these requirements with HunterLab colorimeters and the matching accessories.
[/difl_advanced_blurb]
Fruit and vegetables come in many forms, from their natural, unprocessed state to processed purees and frozen goods. The appropriate technology and instrumentation for color measurement depend on the form of the product to be measured.
[/difl_advanced_blurb]
Sweets, spreads, chocolate and their raw materials such as sugar and cocoa are tested for their visual appearance using colorimeters in order to strengthen trust in the product and brand. HunterLab has the right measuring devices and sample holders for every application.
[/difl_advanced_blurb]
Condiments, food colors, synthetic/natural antioxidants, mustard, dressings and sauces can occur in solid, liquid, powder or paste form, so different measurement techniques are required for successful color measurement.
[/difl_advanced_blurb]
The color quality of vegetable oils such as olive oil or sunflower oil as well as margarine plays a major role in the classification of products in order to maintain consumer acceptance and trust.
[/difl_advanced_blurb]
Before the product reaches the consumer, the processors of meat, poultry and fish, as well as their plant-based substitutes, use colorimeters to monitor the processing and ensure the quality and freshness of the product.
[/difl_advanced_blurb]
Beverages can be opaque, translucent or transparent and require different instruments and techniques for successful color measurement. Manufacturers can find these at Hunterlab, whose measuring devices are already being used by major beverage companies. Please ask us for references!
