How is saffron quality measured?
Scientifically the most important factors in evaluating the quality of saffron are crocin, picrocrocin and saffranal.
Crocin is the one which is measured, because it is a precursor to the other compounds, which together produce the three things Chefs all around the world are looking for : AROMA (Saffranal), Flavor (Picrocrocin) and Color (Crocin).
Pure Red Stigmas will always measure higher on the coloring scale.
The ISO has recommended coloring strength between 190-200 for a fine quality saffron.
