Colour measurement of baking ingredients

Baking ingredients such as starch, baking powder, flour or semolina, as well as ready-made baking mixes, are subject to high quality standards. They form the basis of many types of pasta and manufacturers and processors must guarantee controlled quality. Visual comparison with the human eye does not meet this requirement. The end consumer also places high demands on the food product used for baking and cooking.

Instrumental measurement with highly developed spectrophotometers, on the other hand, is easy to use both in the laboratory and in production and provides the exact control required for quality management. Powder samples are usually placed in cuvettes on the colorimeter and the measurement results are available within a few seconds. Integrated colorimetric software supports the evaluation and further processing of the measurement data.

Our solutions for your baking ingredients:

Agera

Colour measurement “as the eye sees”

  • 0°/45° geometry

    This geometry according to DIN corresponds very precisely to the colour impression that the human eye has of the sample.
  • Integrated camera

    The integrated camera helps to place the sample precisely and to save a photo with the measurement data.
  • Integrated QC software

    The EasyMatch QC Essentials quality control software is integrated into the device and provides all the required colour indices and metrics.
Agera
  • Full spectrum + UV

    With an illumination range of 360-700 nm, the Agera is also suitable for measuring optically brightened samples.
  • Smart user interface

    Your measurement results can be easily transferred to existing LIMS or SPC systems.

  • Uncomplicated & precise

    Simple "one touch" measurement reduces training time, optimizes the workflow and increases your productivity.

ColorFlex EZ

Compact colorimetric station

  • Many measuring openings

    Various measuring openings (10 mm, 13 mm, 19 mm, 25.4 mm, 31.8 mm) for many types of samples.
  • Compact dimensions

    With a weight of 4.5 kg and dimensions of 16.0 cm (height), 13.0 cm (width) and 36.0 cm (depth), the CFEZ is the ideal partner in the laboratory and production.
  • Integrated QC software

    Display of absolute and differential data, colour location visualization, spectral curves, spectral data and PASS/FAIL with individual tolerances.
ColorFlex EZ
  • 45°/0° geometry

    The CFEZ measures colour as the human eye sees it. Every day. Reliable and precise.
  • In many versions

    The ColorFlex EZ is available in Tomato, Citrus and Coffee versions.
  • Uncomplicated & precise

    Simple measurement at the touch of a button with measurement results within a few seconds. Reduces training time, optimizes the workflow and increases your productivity.

Application example:

Colour measurement of powdered baking ingredients with the ColorFlex EZ

Powdered baking ingredients such as flour, semolina, baking powder or starch, as well as ready-made baking mixes, can be precisely colorimetrically determined using a spectrophotometer such as the ColorFlex EZ. In this way, manufacturers guarantee a consistent appearance and create trust in the product. Powders consist of tiny particles. To ensure uniform colour measurement, a uniform surface should be created. For this purpose, a generous amount of powder is added to a 64 mm round glass cuvette. Sufficient coating thickness minimizes the effects of incident ambient light and guarantees precise measurements. (A layer thickness of 50 mm also makes translucent powder effectively opaque for...

Colour measurement of contact lenses

Colour measurement of contact lenses

Colour measurement is essential in the development of contact lenses in order to optimize both colouration and light transmission. Clear lenses are lightly tinted to facilitate handling without impairing the visual experience. Using specific colour measurements, the transmission of light through the lenses can be precisely analyzed and controlled depending on the material. For tinted lenses, the precise measurement makes it possible to change eye colours authentically. HunterLabs Vista spectroph...
