Abstract
The present article describes a Bayesian multivariate methodology developed for unsupervised quality control of pizzas based on RGB color attributes. A sensory experiment was done to define the readiness point ground truth. During the validation phase, different pizza samples were baked at a different temperature. The cheese and crust color patterns were statistically compared against the ground truth to check the readiness point. Results show that the proposed methodology presents a good performance demonstrating that color attributes can be used as an unsupervised quality control using traditional statistical methods.
