Abstract This paper examines the effect of the granulation process on the color texture of compacted powders and granules. The objective is to obtain information to provide for a better comprehension of granulation mechanisms by using a pigment as a texture marker. This requires the establishment of a methodology both to qualify and quantify the spatial variation of color on the compact surface. This is achieved by color image analysis accompanied by both a statistical and a spatial treatment of the color content in the images.
