Alimentos e bebidas
A indústria de alimentos tem uma longa história de medir a cor de seus produtos. Os motivos para isso são variados quanto a própria indústria, mas o principal critério é a padronização.
O controle da cor dos materiais permite que o produtor de alimentos rejeite qualquer produto baixo dos padrões antes de recebê-lo, durante o processamento e antes da remessa. Isso garante que a cor final atenda as expectativas dos consumidores.
Take the guesswork out of colour monitoring
Are they the same or are they different? And if different by how much? Visual color perception can be extremely subjective. Our equipment will tell you in seconds, our training courses will help you to develop rigorous colour tolerances which take any guesswork out of color assessment. If you would like to see for yourself just how easy it is, we can come along and show you.
Two touch colour measurement
Transmitted color or reflected color measurement to dozens of standard color scales, our products cover a wide range of sample types. Edible oils, beers, malts, caramels, solids, powders, opaque or clear liquids. For more information, download our Food and Beverage brochure here, which also contains all the product specific data sheets you will need.

Confused by Color Measurement?
Visual or automatic? Standard Illuminant D65 or D50? Two degree or ten degree standard observer?, CIE L*a*b* or CIE L*c*h*? Metamerism? Often what we want to know is simple simply “how can I ensure my color matches consistently?” So we have put together some free short courses to help you to navigate the path to simple color management and control.

A Distinguished History in Food and Drink
Lovibond® has its origins in the brewing industry and we have been measuring color 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.
The Lovibond® TR series of hand-held spectrophotometers make accurate color measurement on solid surfaces easy. The TRA series enables the testing of non-solids like gels, pastes and powders.
The Lovibond® LC100 hand-held colorimeter provides fast and easy measurement of reflected color on solid surfaces. The SV100 accessory enables testing of non-solids like gels, pastes and powders.
Fast, temperature stable, objective measurement of color in edible oils. The Lovibond® Model Fx covers the important edible oil colour scales as well as beta-carotene and chlorophyll.
The Lovibond® PFXi range of spectrocolorimeters provides measurement of transmitted color for the widest range of samples and color scales.
