Measuring the color

of Baking Powder

Color is a vital component of baking powder production that determines the perception of the overall quality. With the ever-growing demand for good-quality baking powder, color measurement is a priority for producers. HunterLab Spectrophotometers can measure the color of a baking powder sample using standard food industry color scales to provide you with a precise numerical analysis of coloration. In seconds, you'll see exactly how close your color measurement is to your preference so that you can adjust your process or move forward with packaging and distribution.

Why measure the color of baking powder?​

Improve visual appeal: Baking powder comes from various sources, and even the slightest color variation can reflect on the quality of the product. That is why color control in the processing and development stages are crucial to the overall outcome.

Color measurement can ensure you meet industry standards and customer expectations.

Easy monitoring of Quality Control processes: You need an easy-to-use, reliable color measurement instrument to provide early warning signals that ensure your quality control processes work seamlessly. When you use the HunterLab spectrophotometer, the onboard software immediately displays your color data, including CIE L*a*b* and CIE LCh, Hunter L,a,b, ASTM E313 WI Whiteness Index, and more. Hence our spectrophotometers also help reduce wasted end products and improve your top-line revenue.

Boost your brand reputation: Quality is paramount to gaining market share. You want to give your customers the best you have to offer. Baking powder is used to produce many other products and needs to undergo stringent quality control processes. HunterLab spectrophotometers provide precise measurements within 5 seconds and occupy minimal bench space.

Say goodbye to manual errors and repetitive work: Our unparalleled spectrophotometers reduce the time and labor necessary to evaluate color. The data is displayed and stored digitally and can be fed into your Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems, facilitating more efficient workflows. These features accelerate your quality control processes by shrinking the time to measure multiple samples. ColorFlex L2’s compact size requires very little benchtop space, and its one-touch operation makes it easy to operate for all your color measurement challenges.

45°/0° measurement geometry measures color the way the eye sees color:

The HunterLab spectrophotometer ideal for baking powder uses annular 45°/0° geometry and a 1” sample viewing area for the most accurate and consistent measurements. This geometry replicates the human visual response, measuring color the way the eye sees color.
