Colour measurement of vegetable edible oils and edible fats
Vegetable edible fats and oils consist of fatty acids, are practically anhydrous and are liquid, solid or semi-solid. They come from seeds, germs or fruits of plants, including the popular sunflower oil, linseed oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil and the solid coconut oil. Different variations and mixtures make instrumental colour measurement indispensable for maintaining quality and freshness.
In contrast to solid “blocks” of margarine and shortening, which are determined using a reflectance meter on which the sample is placed directly, oils are filled into cuvettes and measured in a transmission device.

Application example:
The task The consistency of margarine does not allow it to be simply placed on an aperture for colour measurement, as this would contaminate the sensitive measuring device. For this reason, it is often laboriously coated in measuring cuvettes for colour measurement, which have to be laboriously cleaned again after the measurement. The solution For colour measurement, HunterLab recommends simply placing a margarine block with a pre-cut transparent carrier film on the aperture of the ColorFlex EZ spectrophotometer. The measurement is very simple: Place foil on margarine Place the margarine with the foil side on the measuring aperture Trigger measurement at the touch of a button Read off...
