Sugar Solutions, Syrups and Honey
Corn Syrups, Sugar, Honey, Maple Syrups, all have their own challenges when it comes to consistency in colour. They also have their own methods of colour assessment and communication. Some even have their own specific colour scales. Honey is measured in Pfund values and the US Dept of Agriculture (USDA) has their own descriptions based upon these. Maple syrup producers may use one of three different scales. Sugar may be measured using an ICUMSA score. Whatever the sample, Lovibond® colour measuring devices have been designed to make colour consistency easier to manage.

There is considerable variability in samples types can be a challenge as sample characteristics can change during processing.

A Distinguished History in Food and Drink
Lovibond® has its origins in the brewing industry and we have been measuring colour since 1880. Joseph Lovibond was the first person in the world to develop a practical colorimeter to ensure the high quality of his beer. He was the originator of the Lovibond® scale. We still use the scale as our company logo today. Still a family owned business but now global, at Lovibond® we value our heritage.
