Color measurement and ingredient quality - consistency control in coffee products – Measure Agtron Number and do more with Sensegood spectrophotometer

Roasting significantly alters the taste; hence coffee’s color significantly influences coffee’s flavor. Coffee roast index is standardized by SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America) and represented by Agtron number. Following picture narrates typically how Agtron number is assigned against the type of coffee roast.

Sensegood spectrophotometer is an analytical color measurement instrument that is widely accepted in the industry and research fraternity for reliability. From raw material to final product, it comprehensively evaluates the color attributes of various samples, including solids, liquids, powders and pastes. Large viewing area (sensor’s field of view) and rotating sample platform averages out sample and produces accurate repeatable color attributes. As a result, consistency can be maintained and quality standards can be met with less waste, time, and effort. Sensegood spectrophotometer is the versatile device that is engineered to work as handheld/portable, benchtop/table-top or in-process/online color measurement instrument.
