Measuring the Colour
of Safflower Oil
Acceptability of colour has been the top priority in safflower oil manufacturing due to the well-known correlation between colour perception and product quality. HunterLab provides the ideal colour measurement solutions to ensure that the finished product is flawless and meets the specific standards that the edible oil industry demands. Our innovative colour measuring instruments give producers quantitative values to accurately evaluate their quality.
Why use spectrophotometers to measure the colour of safflower oil?
Many in the industry are still using outdated visual comparison methods of colour measurement. Spectrophotometers provide far greater accuracy, far greater consistency and are able to provide reliable
inter-instrument agreements from anywhere on the globe.
Why measure the colour of safflower oil?
Colour and appearance measurements play a crucial part in the refining process of safflower oil. This data helps to identify the optimum level of refinement and grading of safflower oil before distribution. HunterLab spectrophotometers and QC solutions provide accurate and consistent colour and appearance data that can improve the efficiency and consistency of your grading process.
Consumers depend on colour as an indicator of quality when choosing the right oil. Even slight colour or appearance changes indicate to consumers that something is wrong with their product or that the quality has changed. Hence maintaining the same colour and appearance consistency throughout the production process of safflower oil is an essential step in ensuring consistency and quality of the final product.
HunterLab’s transmittance spectrophotometer offers a faster and more modern method for colour measurement using the LOVIBOND® RYBN and AOCS colour scales. Since consumers select products by colour, HunterLab helps safflower oil manufacturers meet consumer expectations and regulatory requirements. It also comes with the new and improved colour software, Essentials 2.0. Take precise and reliable colour measurements in seconds with next-gen user-friendliness and seamlessly analyze multiple tristimulus and spectral data sets. It’s that powerful.
Rather than requiring expensive and hard-to-clean 1-in or 5.25-in transmittance cells, it enables small quantity sample measurements (as small as 10mm) in inexpensive transmittance cells and vials. With only 5 seconds per measurement, our unparalleled colour measurement solution improves productivity and requires less sample material and less time on post-measurement cleaning.
HunterLab’s colour measurement solution for the safflower oil industry can simultaneously measure colour and haze (turbidity). As a result, you only have to buy one tool for both measurements, and you only have to test your samples once to get both values.
Safflower oil products are susceptible to temperature, lighting, storage conditions, and air quality changes. Using a spectrophotometer that can measure the colour of safflower oil against industry-accepted colour scales and indices can ensure that your brand reputation and profit margins are in check.
HunterLab makes your quality assurance process simple with an easy-to-use modern interface, the latest data communication features, and all the pre-equipped colour scales and indexes you need including Gardner, Hunter L,a,b, CIELAB, LOVIBOND® and AOCS RY. In short, HunterLab ensures the best value by offering the lowest total cost of ownership, lowest maintenance costs, lowest service costs, our renowned long instrument lifespan, and our stellar customer service.
