Measuring the color
of Chocolate Baking Chips
Consumers judge the type and quality of baking chocolate based on visual perception. To determine consumer acceptance, HunterLab spectrophotometers provide objective measurements during manufacturing to predict product quality, consistency, and shelf appeal. Color is a vital component of cocoa manufacturing that determines the perception of the overall quality of cocoa products. With the ever-growing demand for good-quality chocolate, color measurement is a priority for producers. Our best-in-class color measurement instruments give producers quantitative standardization values to evaluate quality repeatedly and reduce wastage accurately.
Why measure the color of chocolate baking chips?
Improve visual appeal: Baking chips come 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, most importantly, customer expectations.
Safety of your products. Guaranteed. HunterLab Aeros is the ONLY smart non-contact spectrophotometer in the world. Its unique Auto-height positioning enables color measurement of non-homogenous materials with better accuracy and safety.
45°/0° measurement geometry measures color the way the eye sees color:
HunterLab spectrophotometer uses circumferential 45°/0° geometry and a 1” sample viewing area for the most accurate and consistent measurement of chocolate baking chips. This geometry replicates the human visual response, measuring color the way the eye sees color.
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. HunterLab 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 chips are used to produce many other products and need to undergo stringent QC processes. HunterLab spectrophotometers provide precise measurements within 5 seconds and occupy minimal bench space.
Say goodbye to manual errors and repetitive work: With an easy-to-use modern interface and the latest data communications features, our best-in-class spectrophotometers reduce the time and labor necessary to evaluate color. Additionally, they come with color measurement software that can store and recall thousands of standards. The data is displayed and stored digitally and can be fed into your Statistical Process Control (SPS) systems, facilitating more efficient workflows. These features accelerate the quality control process by shrinking the time to measure multiple samples.
