Colour measurement in the oils and fats

Colour measurement in the oils and fats industry is an essential part of the refining process.  It is a means of assessing when the desired colour has been reached and when the refining can be halted. This ability to regularly monitor the colour during processing cuts down the waste of refining materials and also helps to maintain colour consistancy of the end product.
