Fruit product manufacturer are keen to produce real looking items to involve more consumers in their brand. For which they need to make their product look and feel like the real fruit and this can only be done when one can know the exact color code of the fruit.
Portable Spectrophotometer is highly proficient testing equipment which delivers high quality color measurement solutions. Considered best for conducting Solid Fruit Color Measurement. The equipments uses 45/0 illumination system. This is known to be the closest viewing method which relates to human eye perception. The equipment can see the way the eyes asses a product color. This is why fruit dealers or supplier use this illumination wherever they need the human perceptions. The device complies with DIN, CIE, ASTM and ISO standard.
Equipped with an integrated sphere of 58 mm diameter for precise color capture. Uses LED combined source light. A silicon base photo diode is used in the device for increasing the color detection system. Works within a specified range of wavelength which is 400 to 700 nm. The measure aperture has an opening of 8 mm size.
For Solid Fruit Color Measurement, first the spectrophotometer is switched on and then calibrated using the white and black auto mode calibration. Post tuning the equipment is placed on the fruit surface and user can see a value of wavelength, color space index is automatically noted in the screen. While you move the device on different areas, you will note the difference in the color values. These test data can be save by any specified number or name and also can be used to set a pass or fail criteria. This way on the next reading you just need to place the device and it will tell you if the color passed or failed set criteria.
