olor is an important component of food qualityconsumers initially accept or reject a food based on its color and
other visual attributesand can be
measured by visual, instrumental,
and machine vision methods.
However, visual observations
may be unsatisfactory due to eye
fatigue, poor color memory of
subjects, lack of uniform lighting
and standardized viewing conditions, and unavailability of trained
judges, especially for routine largescale color quality determination
(Hutchings, 1999).
Instrumental Measurements
MACHINE VISION
Machine vision systems offer advantages over visual and instrumental analysis,
including the ability to measure nonuniform colors and shapes and to inspect
specific areas of the image.
light reflected off of or transmitted
through the sample into X, Y, and
Z values that locate the color of the
sample in a 3-dimensional color
space. They simulate the response
of the standard observer and can
match most colors across the visible
spectrum. Spectrophotometers
calculate X, Y, Z values by
measuring reflectance or transmittance wavelength across the visible
range. The resulting spectral curve
is compared to a reference standard, and the result is expressed as
a ratio (Joshi and Brimelow, 2002).
Colorimeters and spectrophotometers rely on precise knowledge
of the illumination and the stanpg
