Food Color Measurement

Food Color Measurement

Food is not only an essential ingredient to life and the survival of a human being; it is also used to celebrate, calm and comfort, as much as to satisfy one's appetite. For food manufacturers and producers around the globe, maintaining consistency of the color of their food products is not only a statement about their product quality, it is a quality statement about their brand. This is why 95 of the world's top food producers rely on the performance and reliability of HunterLab - the worlds most trusted color quality experts.

The perception of food flavor is closely tied to its color.  It's been proven time and again through the science of sensory analysis, and believed to be a result of 'cognitive expectations' in human beings.
