Quality Standards for Burger Buns
Consumers want their burger bun to be soft and flavorful with a smooth top. Color-wise, the whole bun should be a golden brown color with white on the inside, creating your stereotypical burger bun. Someone shopping for buns will have this picture in mind and bypass a product that looks slightly off — exhibiting colors such as yellow or even green.
To ensure your product turns out the way it should, it is important to measure the color of its ingredients first. Quality ingredients can prevent any issues with later processes, making production much smoother.
How a Spectrophotometer Can Help
A spectrophotometer can streamline burger bun manufacturing, quickly and easily measuring the color of your product at each stage. Today's modern technology allows these devices to measure an item's color using quantifiable values that are much more accurate than the human eye alone. With the help of a spectrophotometer, your buns can have more successful productions, minimizing costs and faulty product waste.
The Aeros From HunterLab
HunterLab has the ideal solution for buns — the Aeros spectrophotometer. The Aeros measures the color of textured and non-uniform samples such as burger buns, offering a sampling rate of seven measurements per second and 35 measurements per rotation. It has automatic sensor technology to position itself at the right height to measure the product, reducing your setup time — all at the touch of a button.
We also offer the MiniScan EZ 4500 and the SpectraTrend HT as reliable burger bun color measurement solutions. While the Aeros is a benchtop design, the MiniScan EZ is a portable option, and the SpectraTrend HT is for in-process or in-line production.
