Measuring the Colour of Sports Drinks

Colour and haze are of the highest importance for sports drink manufacturers, as they guide perception from the first glance, suggesting how the drink will taste and even indicate its nutritional attributes. Colour can also be an essential quality factor, revealing oxidation and exposing potential contamination. HunterLab provides a range of colour measurement solutions that can help you meet the quality standards of visual perception.

Why measure the colour of Sports drinks?​

Colour and appearance measurements play a crucial part in refining sports drinks. This data helps to identify the optimum level of refinement before distribution.
