Measuring the Colour

of French Fries

Colour is a crucial indicator of the quality of French fries. Consumers gauge the quality of French fries initially through their eyes when it has the perfect golden yellow colour. Hence manufacturers need to develop a standardized colour range for monitoring quality control effectively. HunterLab’s best-in-class spectrophotometers provide just the right colour measurement solution to meet the quality standards of visual perception for French fries. Our best-in-class colour measuring instruments can help you attract new customers and keep your returning customers happy.

Why measure the colour of French Fries?​

Measuring colour standards for frozen raw potato and fries creates specific challenges. The standardization chart includes a variety of cuts that correlate with different colour parameters. From short and thin to thick and crinkle cut, textures and uniformity vary greatly.

Non-contact colour measurement systems are typically preferred when it comes to non-uniform samples. These systems decrease the interference from sample contact and provide the most accurate data for colour averages. HunterLab’s advanced spectrophotometers use state-of-the-art technology to control light measurement readings without surface contact, providing more accuracy and avoiding product contamination or damage. This form of instrumental analysis has revolutionized food production in non-uniform samples and streamlined the process for greater accuracy and speed.

Advanced spectral technology also uses a rotating measurement system to calculate multiple readings of a specific sample area over a set period of time. Colour averages can then be used repeatedly to determine frying times and reduce colour variations from batch to batch.
