Sensegood spectrophotometer for color measurement ? quality, ingredient and consistency control in snacks
Color measurement, color difference measurement for color consistency control in crackers, wafers, chips, fries, crisp breads, cookies, cereal flakes, oats, muesli, granola bars, crisps, roasted nuts, chocos and fryums-papad pipes to name a few.
Photo: Reference can be saved in Sensegood spectrophotometer and can be used at any time to compare it with production batch sample. Sample can be crackers, wafers, chips, fries, crisp bread, cookies, cereal flakes, oats, muesli, granola bars, crisps, roasted nuts, chocos or fryums-papad pipes.
In photo: Color measurement and finding match percentage in Potato French fries (left) and chips (right). Right color indicates tight process control. Measurement information assists in tuning process parameters to achieve right color; minimizing oil and electricity consumption. This in turn saves significant time and cost; and more importantly it leads to a consistent product appearance and wide market acceptance.
Photo: Color has direct impact on ?perceived? taste. Sensegood spectrophotometer provides information regarding color component differences in between sample and reference. This information assists in quick process parameter controls and reprocessing for color adjustments. Setting and ensuring color tolerances dramatically enhances color quality control.
In photo: Color measurement and finding match percentage to ensure color consistency in corn flakes (left) and granola bars (right). Color mismatch in production batch samples of granola bars indicate poor quality, inconsistent proportion of ingredients, and process parameter variations. Result is inconsistent taste and appearance; and ultimately leads to customer dissatisfaction. To build and maintain a brand of repute; product?s consistency is one of the most important parameter to be addressed.
