This study reports the colour changes using CIELAB measurements (Lab* color space) and their correlation with time, temperature, total soluble solids (TSS), and pH during the processing of (palm) sap into granulated sugar. As a function of time, the sap became darker, more red, and more yellow indicating a continuous decrease of L* values, and an increase in both a* and b* values. A constant decrease of L* and an increase of a* and b* were particularly observed when TSS of the sap was more than 33.5%. During the process, regression analysis showed that a linear pattern was indicated for total colour difference (ΔE*) with time, whereas a non linear relationship was shown for ΔE* with TSS, temperature and pH. Stirring the syrup changed the Lab* values while ΔE* showed a decrease throughout the process. This research will serve as a base for future developments for the manufacture and quality grading of (palm) sugar.
本研究报告了在将(棕榈)汁液加工成砂糖过程中,使用CIELAB测量值(Lab颜色空间)的颜色变化及其与时间、温度、总可溶性固形物(TSS)和pH值的相关性。随着时间的推移,汁液变得更暗、更红、更黄,这表明L值持续下降,而a和b值均增加。当汁液的TSS超过33.5%时,尤其观察到L持续下降,a和b增加。在该过程中,回归分析表明总色差(ΔE)与时间呈线性关系,而ΔE与TSS、温度和pH值呈非线性关系。搅拌糖浆会改变Lab值,而ΔE*在整个过程中呈下降趋势。本研究将为未来(棕榈)糖的制造和质量分级发展奠定基础。
