CR-410T Tomato Package
The Right Color For Tomato Products

The right color of tomato products is always an indication of how fresh the product is. What is the right color? What is the right color for products such as tomato sauce, tomato paste, tomato juice and of course ketchup? In the past the “right color” judgment was purely subjective. Uniformity and consistency of color for processed tomato products is imperative from batch to batch. In order to obtain color uniformity, instrumental color measurement is necessary to insure a more consistent color batch to batch.
The CR-410T brings portability, outstanding measurement repeatability and excellent inter instrument agreement. Most other instruments, approved to score tomato products, are much larger, bulky, costly and not in a portable handheld configuration. Konica Minolta Sensing instruments have a long history of providing proven and reliable color measurements to the food industry
