Instrumental colour measurement of hardened vegetable fat

Margarine and fatsThe task

The consistency of margarine does not allow it to be simply placed on an aperture for colour measurement, as this would contaminate the sensitive measuring device. For this reason, it is often laboriously coated in measuring cuvettes for colour measurement, which have to be laboriously cleaned again after the measurement.

The solution

For colour measurement, HunterLab recommends simply placing a margarine block with a pre-cut transparent carrier film on the aperture of the ColorFlex EZ spectrophotometer.

  • Place foil on margarine
  • Place the margarine with the foil side on the measuring aperture
  • Trigger measurement at the touch of a button
  • Read off values

  • Small and compact, the ColorFlex EZ requires very little space in the laboratory
  • Optional EasyMatch QC quality control software for the PC
