Why measure the color of tomato sauce?
Canned tomato products, like tomato sauce, can vary widely in color due to numerous factors, including ripeness of the fruit, lighting environment, processing, and more. There is also the risk of overheating while processing the tomatoes, altering the color into brown shades. The red color of tomato sauce plays a massive role in their perceived quality, indicating key facts about ripeness and flavor. Hence, manufacturers need color measuring instruments to identify discrepancies before mixing them into a costly product batch.
The color measurement of tomato sauce requires tools built for the task to eliminate variation and provide objective, reliable data. Here at HunterLab, we have created color measurement solutions compatible with both the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) classification system and the Institute of Reference Materials and Measurements system known as BCR. Our solutions make it easy for manufacturers to meet industry standards and consistently deliver high-quality tomato products that accurately reflect your brand.
