Measuring the Color

of Fruit Juices

Color and haze are of the highest importance for fruit juice manufacturers, as they guide perception from the first glance, suggesting how the juice will taste and even its nutritional attributes. Color can also be an essential quality factor, indicating the variety and ripeness of fruit, revealing oxidation, and exposing potential contamination. HunterLab provides a range of color measurement solutions that can help you meet the quality standards of visual perception.

Why measure the color of Fruit Juices?​

The color of fruit juice is influenced by various factors such as sugar content, dilution, lighting environment, and the quality of the fruit used. To ensure that you deliver the freshest and most appealing fruit juice possible, it is essential to gather objective measurements. You need a device that can handle the unique properties of juice color, such as haze and transparency. Haze is often intentionally added to certain drinks where it is expected.

Color and appearance measurements play a crucial part in the refining process of fruit juices. This data helps to identify the optimum level of refinement before distribution. The color of fruit juices can provide valuable information about its source and content. Testing for color can be a quick and easy way to evaluate the quality of these products. HunterLab spectrophotometers and quality control solutions provide accurate and consistent color and appearance data that can improve the efficiency and consistency of your production process.
