The market potential of food safety testing instruments is huge

People have always used the sensory evaluation methods to assess the quality of food color, fragrance, taste, etc., in order to better quantify the color, ensure product quality, prevent food corruption, pollution, and increase product attraction. Force and the food industry introduced colorimetry and spectrophotometry, which are two main methods. Through the combination with software, the color measurement, color matching, color formulation, and color quality control of products from the laboratory to the factory are realized.

Color measurement instruments can be used for food color management, agricultural product, seafood and meat growth check or grade classification, determine the freshness of raw meat, research preservation methods, or conduct consumer preferences surveys or product development. Visual appeal is far more important than the sense of smell in the retail world where refrigerated, frozen, boxed, dried and plastically packaged food is displayed behind glass.

Color psychology studies have shown that appropriate colors can leave a good impression on people, increase appetite, such as red gives a sweet and mature impression; orange gives a sweet, pleasant, healthy, cheerful and vibrant impression; yellow represents bright , hope and harvest; green makes people feel safe, comfortable and fresh; blue gives a refreshing, peaceful impression; purple represents gentleness and mystery; white represents clean, fresh, clear, and black means mature.

In addition, there is a direct relationship between food color and freshness and quality, and to a certain extent, the color of food also reflects the nutrition and function of food. Therefore, there is a color selection and food. Say.

Obviously, producers of fresh and processed foods are very aware of the languages ​​that the colors convey, and they do not hesitate to adopt more color detection methods to better control the color of various products. This is why the use of color measuring instruments in foods is becoming more and more widespread.

The future of the world is wider

Color measurement is an emerging science involving optics, visual psychology and other disciplines. The continuous development of optics, electronic technology and optoelectronic technology, as well as the extensive use of electronic computers, gave rise to the development of various colorimetric instruments.

At present, spectrophotometers and colorimeters are widely used by domestic and foreign laboratories, research institutes, and companies. With the increase of consumer demand for food quality, color measuring instruments will surely help enterprises establish objective standards, judge product colors, guide product development and production practices, promote industrial production standardization, and scientifically manage the entire food industry. Bigger effect.

The potential market space for food safety testing instruments in China is more than 704 billion yuan. In the future, the potential market for analytical instruments in the field of food safety testing in China is more than 745 billion yuan, of which food processing companies have a market equivalent of 400 billion, testing organizations 345 billion, and Demand is not counted.

The survey shows that food safety issues have a great deal of damage to related companies and the industry as a whole. In order to avoid risks and shape the brand image, food companies are strengthening their willingness to manage food safety, especially with the successive outbreaks of melamine and clenbuterol. The former allowed Sanlu, the nation's largest milk powder company, to close down. The latter caused the Shuanghui Group to face losses of several billion yuan. In the face of bloody lessons, strengthening safety management has become the consensus of domestic food companies.

At the same time, the state requires companies to assume the main responsibility for quality inspection, and the corresponding companies are also willing to improve safety inspection standards and improve the image of the company and the industry in order to avoid or reduce the impact of food safety incidents. Leading companies in the industry have taken control of upstream raw material control and testing as the focus of improvement and have invested heavily in both areas.

China is a major producer, consumer, and exporter of agricultural products and foods. Currently, it has more than 400,000 food processing companies of all kinds. Today, as the public increasingly pays attention to food safety issues, it is destined that the potential market for food safety testing instruments will be very high in the future. huge.
