C-Cell Colour System

C-Cell Colour is an advanced digital imaging system for analysing bread and other baking products.

This instrument takes a high resolution colour image of the product sample and uses this as the basis to provide detailed, objective data about baking quality.

This data includes:

  • Net cell elongation

  • Non uniformity

  • Cell diameter

  • Number of holes

  • Wall thickness

  • L*a*b* crumb colour

  • Internal inclusion analysis

  • Bread scoring.

What Products Can You Test using C-Cell Colour?

You can use C-Cell Colour to test the quality of:

  • Bread

  • Biscuits

  • Cake

  • Snack foods

  • Aerated products

  • Chocolate and confectionary.

How Does C-Cell Colour Work?

C-Cell uses detailed image analysis to evaluate samples of bread and baked goods:

  • You place the sample in the instrument’s built-in drawer

  • C-Cell will capture a digital, high resolution image of the sample

  • The instrument then performs a detailed analysis of this image

  • The results appear on-screen.

The instrument takes two images of the sample simultaneously, to generate a depth of contrast and lighting that will provide a broader and deeper range of results.

C-Cell Colour is designed and built to optimise image quality. It performs its analysis of images in a single, quick operation.

The data it produces is objective, reproducible and you can easily transfer it to other devices, along with the images the C-Cell captures.

Analysis of this data provides different measurements for evaluating the bread or other sample. Data available from C-Cell includes:

  • Cell data, including cell numbers, cell area, and cell structure

  • Dimensions of the sample

  • Features, including height, concavity, oven spring and break points

  • Crumb and structure.

C-Cell Colour saves this data to a secure database, which makes it convenient for future access and re-analysis.

You can export this data in different formats, including reports and spreadsheets.

Where and How Can You Use C-Cell Colour?

C-Cell is the perfect baking analyser for bakeries, millers, food manufacturers and distributors and food research centres.

It is a valuable and practical tool for quality control and quality assurance, and supports several key processes and activities, including:

  • Test baking

  • Flour milling

  • Research and development

  • Ingredient testing

  • Bakery equipment manufacturing

  • Plant breeding and research.

What are the Benefits of the C-Cell Colour System?

The C-Cell Colour system is a rapid and technically advanced way of measurement and analysis for bread, baked products and other foodstuffs. It will provide objective results.

Its specialist bread scoring algorithm makes it widely applicable for a broad range of products. Bread scoring provides critical information about the external features and internal structure of samples.

C-Cell saves time when analysing these products, and it can improve production efficiency.

It provides the potential for making long-term improvements in production and research.

You can store the data C-Cell provides securely, creating a useful archive, which you can refer to and constantly review and re-analyse as part of product refinement and development.

C-Cell Colour can carry out batch analysis to make the testing process quicker. It can demonstrate consistency or differences in batches with statistical data.

The system is fully customisable, so you can set your own benchmarks using its software.

Is C-Cell User-friendly?

C-Cell is designed for you to install, set-up and use straight away.

If you do need help, there is a dedicated online customer support team on hand to answer questions and provide technical advice.

There is also the option to sign up for full team training.

The C-Cell Colour’s built-in software features are there to make the system easy to operate:

  • Dynamic screen displays – flexible data display options, offering easy comparison of images and samples

  • Batch analysis – for faster, more efficient operations

  • Advanced calibration – improving data reliability and reproducibility

  • Rapid sample ID –auto-numbering and product ID for rapid sample processing with minimal data input, offering efficiency and reducing error.
