Color Analysis
Solids
Method Description
Color analysis of solid samples measures the optical properties of non-liquid materials using standardized colorimetric methods. This testing is important for solid foods, powders, and materials where color uniformity indicates proper processing and ingredient consistency. Color deviations in solid products can signal oxidation, contamination, or processing issues that affect both appearance and quality.

Specify either bulk density or displacement density for powdered or granular samples.
Additional information
Hunter: This analysis is best used to compare several samples or to compare a sample to a previously determined standard. Samples can be liquids, powders, solids, and particulates. Minolta: This method and the Hunter Colorimeter method are similar and report using the same scales. However, the optics of the instrument differ, resulting in slightly different interpretations of the reflectance spectra. The result is that the two instruments will provide slightly different color values on the same sample. This may be important if data is compared to previous results generated by other laboratories.
