Color and Viscosity Analyzer of the Sauce (input from the laboratory)

Analizzatore Colore e Viscosità – Passata di Pomodoro

Inserisci i dati analitici di laboratorio per ottenere una valutazione qualitativa del prodotto.

This application allows you to quickly assess the quality of a tomato puree based on the main physical and chemical parameters measured in the laboratory: color, density, viscosity, and Brix degrees.
It is a useful tool for laboratories, production technicians, and food processors, for quality control of production batches or recipe testing.

How it works

  1. Enter the values measured in the laboratory:
    • Color (scale 0–10): intensity and saturation of red.
    • Density (g/cm³): indicates the concentration of the product.
    • Viscosity (centipoise): measures the consistency or fluidity.
    • Brix degrees (°Bx): represent the content of soluble solids.
  2. Click on “Analyze Quality”.
  3. The app returns an evaluation:
    • qualitative for each parameter;
    • overall judgment on the quality of the puree.

Reference Range

Example of Analysis

  • Color: 6.2
  • Density: 1.06
  • Viscosity: 850 cP
  • Brix: 9.0

Result:

  • Color: excellent
  • Density: optimal
  • Viscosity: good density
  • Brix: optimal
    → Overall Evaluation: Good quality, compliant with the standard.

Utility

  • Quality control of production and packaging.
  • Comparison between batches or suppliers of raw materials.
  • Optimization of recipes and cooking parameters.
  • Internal documentation for audits or HACCP.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I modify the evaluation ranges?
Yes. The reference limits are in the PHP code (blocks if). You can adapt them to your company or laboratory standards.

2. Do the values need to be numeric?
Yes. Enter the data as measured by the tools (e.g., colorimeter, refractometer, viscometer, densitometer).

3. Can I add other parameters (e.g., pH, acidity)?
Certainly. You can add new inputs and criteria in the code to extend the analysis.

4. Is it compatible with smartphones or tablets in the laboratory?
Yes, the interface is simple, responsive, and suitable for use in production environments.

5. Does the app save analytical data?
No, it calculates the results in real-time. However, you can easily copy them with the “Copy Results” button.
