Measuring the color

of Shortening

Consumers judge the type and quality of shortening based on visual perception. To determine consumer acceptance, HunterLab spectrophotometers provide objective measurements during manufacturing to predict product quality, consistency, and shelf appeal. HunterLab provides just the right color measurement solutions for shortening. Our color measurement equipment provides producers with quantitative values to accurately evaluate the quality of their products.

Why measure the color of shortening?

Measuring color has many purposes, especially for shortening, including:

  • Improving visual appeal: Customers use color to indicate quality and health when buying food products. Discoloration or mixed colors might make them think shortening is unsafe to eat or of lower quality than other brands. Color measurement of shortening can ensure you meet their standards.
  • Monitoring manufacturing processes: Shortening must undergo extensive processing before consumption. Testing the color at the end can ensure you have completed the processing required for shortening.
  • Ensuring quality: Quality is essential when producing a food product. You want to give your customers the best you have to offer. With shortening, color indicates its quality, ensuring it meets your and your customers' standards. Because shortening is a common additive in other foods, its quality will determine the quality of the food it's in.
  • 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.
