Color measurement of grain
The raw material cereals, i.e. grains from cultivated grasses such as wheat, rye, oats, barley, millet, maize, rice, etc., are subjected to visual quality tests, as are products made from these raw materials, such as muesli bars and animal feed.
All cereals and grains, such as wholemeal, spelt, green spelt and seeds such as amaranth or quinoa are important nutritional bases and should therefore be given special consideration.
Whether grain is processed directly in mills or sold on as animal feed, uniform coloring is a component of quality assurance and is also easy to determine. HunterLab colorimeters are specialized in the measurement of grains and cereals. Various sample plates and cuvettes can be used to determine the color of large and small quantities of product.
Our solutions for your grain / grain product:
Agera
Color measurement “as the eye sees”
-
0°/45° geometry
This geometry according to DIN corresponds very precisely to the colour impression that the human eye has of the sample. -
Integrated camera
The integrated camera helps to place the sample precisely and to save a photo with the measurement data. -
Integrated QC software
The EasyMatch QC Essentials quality control software is integrated into the device and provides all the required colour indices and metrics.
-
Full spectrum + UV
With an illumination range of 360-700 nm, the Agera is also suitable for measuring optically brightened samples. -
Smart user interface
Your measurement results can be easily transferred to existing LIMS or SPC systems.
-

Reduces training time, optimizes the workflow and increases your productivity.
Application example:
The precise color measurement of oat flakes with statistical averaging on the Agera color measurement device is particularly useful for oat flakes, as they are among the samples that consist of different particles and have uneven color distribution or surface texture. In any case, the samples should be measured at least two to five times, with rotation or refilling between measurements, so that a meaningful mean value can be formed. The standard deviation and range (scatter) can be read off for each individual measurement. Table 1 shows the results of five individual measurements with the Agera from Hunterlab. For this purpose, oat flakes from one batch were filled into a glass cuvette...
