Food and Beverage

The Food Industry has a long history of measuring the colour of their products. The reasons for doing this are as varied as the industry itself but the main criterion is standardisation. Controlling the colour of materials enables the food producer to reject any that is substandard before offloading, during processing and prior to shipment. This guarantees that the final colour satisfies the consumers' expectations.

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.

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.

TR series

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.
