Color measurement of milk powder
Whether for food and nutrition, personal care or pharmaceutical products – milk and whey powders are important basic products for many applications. During the production of milk powder, free water is removed from the fresh milk by heating. Skimmed milk powder is required for probiotics, chocolate, yogurt or milk-based drinks. However, milk powder is also used in cheese, confectionery and baked goods and is a cost-effective option for the industry. Vitamins that are lost during the production of milk powder are often added again afterwards, e.g. during processing into baby food (substitute milk).
A spectrophotometric control of milk powder and dry milk powder is an important element in quality control on the one hand, and is also important for customer confidence if the appearance remains consistent.
Our solutions for your milk powder:

Application example:
Nowadays, color matching is only carried out visually in a few companies. Measurement with a laboratory device is much more objective and reliable and can be easily integrated into existing QM structures thanks to digital data acquisition. With HunterLab's Agera, highly accurate and repeatable measurements can be made and displayed and compared with the desired color scales and indices. Differences are clearly displayed and the software immediately indicates when defined tolerances are exceeded. Views such as spectral diagrams or 2D color diagrams also allow a quick visual assessment of the measured color values. When measuring milk and whey powder, the CIE Lab scale together with the...
