When we talk about food products, the first impression that we get is
the color and the appearance of the products we are about to use. The appearance of the food is a primary factor that
impacts the perception that one has to
its taste, aroma and quality. In today’s time, the food is available in
different forms such as processed food items, food items packed in plastic
pouches, glass bottles, etc. The color
measurement of the food products makes it sure that the food products look
appealing to the consumers. The foodcolor measurement techniques that are used in the food processing
industries make sure that the colors
incorporated in the product are of best quality. There are basically two
methods that are used in the industries
for the purpose of color measurement of food
products that are colorimetric and spectrophotometry.
Colorimetry is the experimental
procedure which is used for testing the absorbency of a particular color by a substance
when a cluster of different color wavelength are fallen on the object. The
method analyses the ability of the object to absorb the wavelength and the
wavelength that are reflected by the surface. The instrument that is used for
performing Colorimetry is called a colorimeter. The instrument is capable of measuring the components of the three
basic colors that have been transmitted or reflected by an object surface.
After measuring the components of the given
colors, the instrument analyzes the final appearance of the object and its
color level. This helps the manufacturers of
food products in ensuring that the color of their product is of best
level. The Colorimetry procedure also helps in determining the right level of cooking or processing of the
food product.
The spectrophotometry is the
phenomenon in which the objects analyzed for the absorption and transmittance
of visible light as well as other radiations such as UV-visible rays, infrared rays, etc. to test various traits of an object.
The instrument provides the best level of test finding for food products. The Spectrophotometers
that are used for determining the concentration of the ingredients that are used in a food product. In addition to that,
the instrument is also used for testing the level of the colors incorporated in
the products.
With the help of these food color measurement methods, the manufacturers
can not only ensure the best quality assurance of the products but can also
ensure that the right level of ingredients used in the products.
Testronix offers the best range
of colorimeters and portable spectrophotometers that are used widely in the food
industries and ensure the best analysis of the quality of products.
