Measuring the Colour

of Sliced Cheese

The world’s leading food manufacturers pay close attention to the colour of their products because consumers eat first with their eyes. Their purchasing decisions are often based primarily on how the product looks and whether the appearance meets their expectations. This is especially true in milk products like cheese. 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 sliced cheese?​

Milk products like cheese undergo strict quality checks. Any variation from their standard colour is directly seen as bad quality by the consumer. Colour influences consumers’ buying decisions and, in some cases, can shed light on the origins of the milk. Age of cheese, inclusions, and animal breed are just a few factors that could affect the colour.

Manufacturers must adopt high-quality colour measurement solutions to ensure colour consistency throughout the cheese production process. This begins before mixing the ingredients to ensure everything has the correct L, a, b values. These technologies allow you to capture even the slightest colour variations for a comprehensive picture of a product’s chromatic qualities and directly correlate colour to discrete ingredients or process variables.

Once a formula has been perfected and moves into production, spectrophotometric monitoring of colour throughout the production process ensures that your product stays within your chosen tolerance range to optimize appeal and marketability. By instantly alerting you to undesirable colour variations, you can easily prevent the release of inferior products into the marketplace, preserving your brand reputation and guaranteeing that only products that meet your standards are introduced to consumers.
