Measure the Color of Ice Cream with Portable Spectrophotometer

Ice cream is a popular dessert, made using cream and milk, which is enjoyed by many people all across the globe. Ice cream comes in a wide variety of combinations and flavors using cocoa for chocolate flavor, fruits for freshness and other attractive colorants. The colors are added in the ice-creams to add vibrancy and taste to the food. The attractive colors of ice creams grab the attention of the customers and influence their preference. Moreover, the color of the ice creams and other desserts helps to influence the perception of the consumers regarding the flavor. Therefore, it is important to monitor and measure the color of the ice-creams. 

Adopting the techniques of color measurement throughout the production process helps the manufacturers to enhance the level of color consistency and to optimize the quality of the products. The color of the ingredients directly influences the appearance of the product and also the flavor and taste of ice-creams. To measure the color of the product, manufacturers can find out the L*a*b* values to minimize the color variance of ice-creams. Color and physical properties of the ice-cream changes consistently at the time of melting. Therefore, it is highly recommended to examine the color of ice-creams in a liquid state to obtain a consistent and accurate evaluation.

Testronix offers an extensive range of high-quality Portable Spectrophotometers that can easily perform transmittance and reflectance measurements. These spectrophotometers are capable enough in measuring every type of sample whether it is a solid form, liquid form or powder form, and also the mixture of a liquid form of ice-cream and solid form of ingredients. The range of instruments is also provided with additional accessories such as Powder test Box, Software for controlling results and operations and many more. Testronix offers high-quality of spectrophotometer namely TP 800 Spectrophotometer. The instrument works on the advanced principle of LED spectroscopy. The portable device helps to separate the luminance as per the wavelength interval that is observed by a group of sensors and helps to perform the precise analysis.
