Color measurement of cereals
For breakfast or as a snack between meals: muesli, flakes and flakes in all sizes, shapes, colors and flavors are made from grains such as corn, wheat, rice, millet, spelt, oats, barley and rye. In many cases, the color of the cereals is measured to ensure batch consistency with demanding color standards.
As with most foods, consumer perception of cereal flavor is closely linked to color. HunterLab was the first company to receive USDA approval for the industrial evaluation of food color, and many of the world’s leading cereal producers rely on HunterLab’s quality control solutions, including General Mills, Kellogg’s, Purina and Gilster-Mary Lee.
