A brief introduction to the use of hand-held sugar meter
It can measure the soluble solid content of fruits and vegetables, understand the quality of fruits and vegetables, and roughly estimate the ripeness of fruits and vegetables. The hand-held sugar meter is an advanced instrument specially used to measure the sugar content of fruits and fruit juices.
Introduction to the use of the hand-held sugar meter: Open the cover and carefully wipe the detection prism with a soft cloth. Take a few drops of the solution to be tested, place it on the detection prism, and gently close the cover to avoid the generation of air bubbles, so that the solution spreads over the surface of the prism. Aim the light inlet plate of the instrument at the light source or a bright place, observe the field of view through the eyepiece, and turn the eyepiece adjustment handwheel to make the blue-white boundary line of the field of view clear. The scale value of the dividing line is the concentration of the solution.
Fruit sugar content is not only an important index to evaluate the quality of fruit food, but also an important index to detect fruit maturity. In the environment of agricultural research, agricultural production and fruit storage, fruit sugar content is one of the important basis for determining picking, transportation and storage .
At different ripening stages of the same fruit, its maturity is different, so its sugar content is also different. Therefore, in the fruit planting stage, using a hand-held fruit sugar meter to measure the fruit sugar content can help vegetable and fruit growers provide convenience, such as Determine the picking time; ensure the eating quality of fruits and provide consumers with safe fruit products; adjust soil irrigation and fertilization through changes in the sugar content of fruits; distinguish fruit grades, etc. In addition, hand-held sugar meters can also be used as agricultural cooperatives and agricultural products. An effective tool for research institutes to help improve the quality of fruit grown.
