In the spice industry, color evaluation has always been a challenging task. The texture, grinding method and color difference of spices make it difficult for traditional contact measurement equipment to provide accurate and reliable readings. More importantly, powdered or paste spices are at risk of contamination when using traditional equipment. In order to meet these challenges, the YL4668 spectrophotometer came into being, bringing a new non-contact solution for spice color evaluation.
Traditional spectrophotometers face multiple challenges when measuring spices. First, spices have different color characteristics when they are in a block, powder, powder or paste state, and these color characteristics are also affected by maturity and processing stage. This fluctuation in texture and color makes it difficult for traditional instruments to obtain stable and accurate readings. Secondly, as a key ingredient in food preparation, the safety of spices is of paramount importance. Any contamination may affect the quality and safety of the finished product, so strict inspection requirements of government agencies such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must be followed. In addition, organizations such as ASTA have established strict color standards for specific spices such as chili powder, requiring measurement technology to be accurate and error-free.
The YL4668 spectrophotometer successfully solves the challenges in spice color evaluation with its unique design and functions. Its Smart Spot function can evaluate all pixels and automatically eliminate shadows and irrelevant areas, significantly improving the accuracy of color measurement. No matter how the texture and color of spices change, the YL4668 can ensure accurate color readings.
Unlike traditional spectrophotometers that provide average results, the non-contact evaluation function of the YL4668 greatly reduces the risk of contamination and equipment damage. At the same time, its dedicated software compatibility, adjustable bracket and customizable tray make MetaVue easily adaptable to various spice types and different processing stages, ensuring accurate and reliable results for each measurement.
Using the YL4668 for flavor color evaluation brings significant advantages. Not only does it provide an ideal initial color match, it also ensures accurate color readings through standardized lighting and observation. In addition, the YL4668 is able to comply with color standards of organizations such as ASTA, achieving accurate color measurement without the influence of interfering pigments.
More importantly, the YL4668 eliminates subjectivity in pass/fail decisions, reducing human error and waste. Its automatic audit trail function provides strong evidence support for color quality by capturing actual measured sample images and measurement settings. This not only shortens product time to market, but also significantly improves overall product quality.
The steps for using YL4668 to evaluate the color of spices are simple and quick. First, place the sample under the device or use an accessory for color measurement. Then, adjust the measurement size on the Pecolor color matching software and choose to average all visible colors or enable the positioning function to select a precise measurement position. Next, perform the measurement and evaluate the screen preview, measurement data, and chart to determine whether the sample is out of tolerance. Finally, use Color iQC to create a portable work file and capture the actual measured sample image for automatic audit trail.
YL4668 spectrophotometer is a color measurement instrument that adopts the D/8 ( diffuse illumination , 8° direction reception, SCI includes specular reflected light ) standard. The test probe and the sample to be tested are non-contact tested to achieve non-contact precision color measurement of liquids, sauces, powders, etc. The simple probe design allows this product to be placed anywhere on the automated production line for precise color measurement and color quality control. It is widely used in the cosmetics, fruits and vegetables, food hygiene, plastic electronics, paints and inks, printing, ceramics and other industries, and can be used for fluorescent sample measurement. Its unique innovative design not only provides a non-contact measurement solution directly from the production line, but also ensures stable and high-precision measurement results.
