Color measurement of baby porridge, puree and puree from fruit and vegetables
Manufacturers of vegetable purée, fruit purée and puree meet very high standards. Whether as a complete meal (baby porridge), snack or dessert, the raw materials are strictly controlled, often come from organic or even biodynamic farming and are specially tailored to the nutritional needs of the baby, child or adult.
Nevertheless, the purchase decision does not depend solely on the list of ingredients. The color of the baby food also plays a major role – often unconsciously. Depending on the nutritional requirements of the parents, they react to a paler, natural color or to a more intense color that reflects the raw material, e.g. banana, pumpkin or broccoli in a clear yellow, orange or green. It is also important that a particular product on the shelf always has the same color, as the buyer associates a different – usually poorer – quality of the product with a color variance and consequently refrains from buying it.

Application example:
The Agera from HunterLab with its 0°/45° measuring geometry is ideal for determining color as the human eye perceives it. As a stand-alone device, it requires little space and can be easily set up and operated in any laboratory. The color measurement of baby food is therefore uncomplicated and precise. For liquid or viscous samples, HunterLab recommends measuring in a 64 mm glass cuvette with a suitable cuvette aperture. Especially for translucent samples, the ring and disc set is available as an accessory to ensure a fixed layer thickness and a consistent background. The orifice plate with a recess for the round cuvette can be placed on the orifice opening above the sensor so that the...
