Spectral Analysis Offers New Possibilities for Fish Quality Assessment and Detection of TMA
Posted on by Ken Phillips
Freshness is one of the most desirable features and important quality markers of fish not only due to its delicious taste, but because the absence of freshness can have serious consequences on both enjoyment and health. Fish is highly vulnerable to spoilage, which not only results in undesirable taste, but can also interfere with safety by […]
Exploring How Spectrophotometry Can Help Mechanochromic Polymers Reach Their Potential
Posted on by Ken Phillips
Once in a while, new innovations remind us of the extraordinary potential of color technology. That was the case recently when a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania developed a dynamic new material designed to produce color shifts when hit with certain levels of force. By applying mechanochromism—the ability to change color in response to mechanical stimuli—to protective headgear, the color-shifting material […]
Evaluating Spectrophotometric Solutions for Color Matching Challenges Posed by Gloss
Posted on by Ken Phillips
Color is one of the most important qualities of both industrial and consumer goods, and designers, researchers, and manufacturers put immeasurable thought into the ideal pigmentation of products across industries. However, color is only one factor in the determination of a product’s look; the final appearance of a product is the result of its chromatic […]
Expanding Flexibility and Color Measurement Potential with Double Beam Spectrophotometers
Posted on by Ken Phillips
Spectrophotometers have revolutionized the way product color is measured across numerous industries, from maxillofacial plastics to maple syrup. By allowing for full-spectrum analysis of both reflected and transmitted light, spectrophotometers offer the most advanced method of objectively quantifying chromatic information possible today and give customers virtually endless options for obtaining accurate color measurements. However, not all spectrophotometers are created […]
Utilizing Effective Color Target Technology to Hit the Mark in Plastic Measurement
Posted on by Ken Phillips
Color target technology has revolutionized the plastic industry with near-perfect color matching capabilities. From prosthetics and maxillofacial reconstruction in the medical field to innovative building materials in industrial and high-tech industries, new color target measurement applications continue to flood the market and have made a huge progression since their early stages of development. Color target […]
How Color Measurement via Spectrophotometers Is Bringing Milk Powder Production to New Heights
Posted on by Ken Phillips
In the United States, milk is generally purchased in liquid form and milk powder is not regarded as a standalone dietary staple. Rather, powdered milk is primarily used as an ingredient in other products, such as infant formula, candies, and other edible goods. However, for much of the world, powdered milk serves as the primary […]
Evaluating Seasonal Effects on Color Perception and the Implications for Color Measurement
Posted on by Ken Phillips
By now, the subjective nature of color perception is well-known. Biological, cultural, and contextual factors combine to produces variation in our assessments, experiences, and descriptions of chromatic information. Research shows that even fleeting mood variations can impact our ability to distinguish between particular colors.1 However, there is one color whose perception has been considered remarkably stable […]
