The
HI 96811
converts the refractive index of the sample to sucrose
concentration in units of percent by weight, %Brix (also referred to as
°Brix). The conversion used is based on the ICUMSA Methods Book
(International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis). Since
the majority of sugar in grape juice is fructose and glucose and not sucrose,
the reading is sometimes referred to as “Apparent Brix”.
