Konica: the latest solutions in colour measurement

At Food Tech Event 2025 (booth 87), Konica Minolta Sensing will demonstrate how colour measurement can support both large and small companies in the food, ingredients, and beverage industries to ensure consistent and appealing products. Colour is often the first sensory quality indicator for food and drink. An attractive appearance helps products stand out on the shelf and signals flavour and freshness.

Digital colour data eliminates the subjectivity of human evaluation and is both faster and more accurate than colour charts or artificial physical standards. Using objective colour targets internally and with ingredient suppliers enhances an organisation’s ability to predict and control final product quality, saving both time and waste.

Colour measurement can help businesses to:

• Specify and approve visual appearance
• Define production tolerances
• Understand the effects of changes in raw materials or processing
• Study colour changes over time and temperature
• And much more

Several proven and trusted solutions will be on display, capable of measuring virtually any type of sample—from powders to transparent liquids.

• The CM-5 benchtop spectrophotometer features a built-in display, a top-facing measurement port for solid and powdered samples in Petri dishes, and a sliding transmission chamber for clear liquids.
• The CR-400/CR-410 are portable colorimeters that provide CIELAB colour values and colour difference data—ideal for QC of many opaque foods, with special versions available for coffee and tomato products.
• The recently launched CM-17d portable spectrophotometer includes an integrated sample-viewing camera and a docking station.

SpectraMagic™ NX2 Colour Data software helps producers define, share, and monitor colour standards, as well as analyse and report colour data over time for individual samples or batches.

Colour measurement provides valuable insight into processes and ingredient changes, helping development and production teams monitor product appearance. Our experienced local representative will demonstrate both new and established solutions that deliver repeatable and traceable colour data for a wide range of sample types.
