Sugar Solutions, Syrups & Honey 

Honey_Feather_sh.jpg

Honey is produced from the nectar of flowers and tree blossom and varies in colour according to its source. Honey producers and blenders have their own colour scale which is used to gauge its market price, and in the case of blenders, to standadise their product.

Syrups used in cough mixtures are often coloured for recognition purposes and sugar when refined is required to be colourless.

Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your specific application.

Scales & Values

Grading techniques are widely used to assess product colour by comparison with a representative series of fixed colour standards.

For many product types, a characteristic set of standards was agreed and adopted to aid colour control and the communication of colour specifications; the result is a selection of traditional colour grading scales that have been adopted as industry standards and are still in common use today.

Your Colour Scale requirement determines your instrument choice.  Lovibond® Tintometer® would be delighted to offer advice as to the correct colour scale and thus instrument choice for your application. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
