Description

General description

The amount of sugar in an aqueous solution is measured in degrees Brix (symbol °Bx).One gram of sucrose in 100 grams of the solution equals one degree Brix, which measures the solution′s strength as a percentage of its weight (%w/w).

Application

• Refractive index standard for use as a reference standard in determination of Brix value by refractometers
• The use of this standard for determining sugar content is also possible in the wine and beer, sugar, fruit juice, honey, starch, and sugar manufacturing industries
