Measuring the Colour

of Candy

When you think of candy, you think of colour. That’s because aside from the flavor, consumer choice depends significantly on visual acceptance. Manufacturers also 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 candy. Our best-in-class colour measuring instruments can help you attract new customers and keep your returning customers happy.

Why measure the colour of candy?​

Visual appeal means more than just pleasing the eye. It isn’t just the colour that matters; its intensity plays a crucial role in attracting a particular set of customers. That’s why colour consistency is integral for maintaining a loyal customer base. Advanced colour measurement tools are the simplest way to streamline this process while avoiding costly errors and wasted resources.

Measuring the Colour of Candy

Spectrophotometers are the preferred tool used to monitor the consistency of colour additives in candy. This instrumentation uses reflectance spectrophotometry to make quantitative colour measurements. Specific instruments come with software that will store colour standards and automatically identify whether the measured values are acceptable. This helps guarantee colour repeatability and consistency from batch to batch.

Candy comes in different sizes and shapes. Advanced spectrophotometers are designed to account for changes in appearance and can be calibrated to reduce errors from surface texture changes and changes in absorption and reflectance values.
