The handheld BC‐10 Plus (successor to the BC‐10) Baking Contrast Meter is specifically designed to measure the color of baked, processed fried and smoked foods. Furthermore, it can also measure the color of ingredients. It is ideal for companies with multiple lines, restaurants and co-packers that seek consistency in the appearance of their products.

The BC-10 Plus comes with an LCD screen that can display measurement values in Baking Contrast Units (BCU) or CIELab (L*a*b*) values. The use of xenon lamp light source assures measurements taken are repeatable and stable.

With a new ergonomic design for repeated use over long periods of time, the BC-10 Plus also comes with data management capabilities such as data memory (1000 measurements), built-in utility software and USB connectivity to help users manage data easily.
