Colour measurement for Liquid food products and Beverages

Liquid samples possess additional complexities when producing foodstuffs and beverages. The depth of the sample effects the colour that the observer sees and, when present, haze complicates the visual appearance.

Konica Minolta has experience of hundreds of applications across food dyes, beer, wine, juices, dairy products, and much more. Our experienced team can help you to establish a colour measurement system, including QC measurements, shelf-life testing, or change over temperature.

Digital colour data systems can be used for colour matching of food dyes and ingredients, improving the producer’s ability to meet customer or market demands or to produce consistent products across sites or territories.

Many of our systems are used within process control, supporting companies to better predict the appearance of the finished product and minimise waste by helping finished products achieve greater consistency of colour and appearance.

Konica Minolta benchtop spectrophotometers are widely used in the food industry for specification, production, and quality control of liquid foodstuffs and beverages. A benchtop spectrophotometer can be used to measure colour and haze at all stages of production, and the effects of each process on the eventual colour. Our benchtop systems can be integrated into other systems, such as a Mettler Toledo multiparameter system, using a flow cell or as a standalone unit with predefined colour standards or indices for pass/fail testing and data capture. Systems can be configured according to the needs of the process with varying levels of complexity.
