Farbe spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Auswahl unserer Lebensmittel. Viele Lebensmittel, wie Schweizer Käse, Erdbeeren, Brokkoli und Kartoffelpüree, sehen immer gleich aus. Schon beim ersten Bissen wissen wir genau, was uns erwartet. Doch was wäre, wenn Kartoffelpüree grün wäre? Würde es anders schmecken? Würden Sie es trotzdem probieren? Warum die Farbanalyse für die Lebensmittelindustrie so wichtig ist In zahllosen Studien ging es da...

Appearance is more than just color. It’s an all-inclusive look at everything inherent to an object, including texture, gloss, transparency, translucency, and special effects like sparkle and shimmer. When viewed from different angles or under different lighting conditions, appearance effects can change our perception of color. That's why it’s important to control both color and appearance throughout design and development. Durable goods brands use appearance effects to captur...

Spektralfotometer sind ausgezeichnete Werkzeuge, um Proben anhand ihrer Farbstandards zu messen, um Unterschiede zu vergleichen, aber es kann schwierig sein, eine Farbgenauigkeit für unregelmäßig geformte Produkte wie Flüssigkeiten, Kunststoffe, Dosen und Pulver zu erreichen. Wir entwerfen eine Vielzahl von Teilen und Zubehör - auch "Rigs & Jigs" genannt - für viele unserer Instrumente, um ungewöhnliche Formen und Größen zu messen. Teile & Z...

When choosing a food product, consumers demand consistency in both taste and appearance. While a lighter batch of oranges may still produce a delicious juice blend, a pale color can jeopardize USDA approval and leave consumers questioning the quality. Unfortunately for food and beverage manufacturers, the color of food – especially drinks like fruit juice and blended cocktails – is one of the most difficult things to control during production. Here’s why. 1. Liquid is hard to...

Benchtop spectrophotometers measure in either transmission or reflectance mode to capture and quantify color on various opaque, transparent, and translucent samples, including glass, liquid, fabric, and plastic. Today we’ll explain the difference between transmission and reflectance measurements so you can determine which benchtop will meet your color measurement needs. Transmission vs. Reflectance Measurements Both transmission and reflectance spectrophotometers emit all of the wav...

Using a light booth to visually judge color is a great start to a successful color evaluation program. It allows you predict how color will look under multiple light sources so there won’t be any color surprises when the light changes over the life of the product. Introducing a color measurement device to capture spectral data is the next logical step. For a really great color program, you need to use both a light booth AND a spectrophotometer. This dynamic duo offers benefits you can&rsqu...
