Measuring the Colour

of Ice Cream

The world’s leading food manufacturers pay close attention to the colour of their products because consumers eat first with their eyes. Ice creams, for instance, need to look enticing enough to eat. HunterLab provides the ideal colour measurement solutions to ensure that the finished product is visually delicious for the consumer and consistently flawless for the food producer. Our innovative colour measuring instruments give producers quantitative values to accurately evaluate their quality.

Why measure the colour of ice cream?

Imagine the strawberry ice cream you are craving does not have the perfect light pink colour. Your brain will immediately reject it. Ice cream manufacturers must focus on colour measurement throughout production and ensure everything is visually appealing for the consumer.

Whether it’s a novel new shade or a tried-and-true classic, the colour of ice cream is essential to forming your customers’ expectations and sensory experiences. Instrumental colour measurement is an invaluable part of quality assessment. Knowing how to measure the colour of ice cream correctly allows you to precisely monitor the shade of each flavor to ensure the perfect appearance. Ice cream fluctuates between a liquid and semi-solid state and measuring colour in both forms is essential.

Spectrophotometrically measuring the colour of ice cream can drastically improve the consistency of production and optimize product quality. For this to happen, your colour measurement methods must be universal and implemented the same way every time, both within and between manufacturing locations. Once your system has been standardized, colour measurement results may be used on a pass/fail basis or for colour correction.
