Introduction to the application and principle of sugar meter
The application and principle of a sugar meter is used to quickly measure the concentration or refractive index of sugar containing solutions and other non sugar containing solutions. Sugar meters are widely used in industrial sectors such as sugar making, food, beverages, and agricultural production and research. Suitable for measuring the concentration of various sauce (seasoning) products such as soy sauce and tomato sauce, measuring the sugar content of products with high sugar content such as jam, syrup, liquid sugar, etc., suitable for the production line of fruit juice, cool drinks, and carbonic acid drinks, quality management, pre shipment inspection, etc., suitable for the process of fruit cultivation and sales. It can be used to determine the accurate harvest period and classify the sweetness classification. In addition, the concentration measurement of pulp in the textile industry has also been widely applied. When light enters one medium from another, it undergoes refraction, and the ratio of the incident angle sine is constant, which is called the refractive index. The content of soluble solids in fruit and vegetable juices is directly proportional to the refractive index under certain conditions (at the same temperature and pressure). Therefore, measuring the refractive index of fruit and vegetable juices can determine the concentration (sugar content) of the juice. The commonly used instruments are handheld refractometers, also known as sugar mirrors or handheld sugar meters. By measuring the soluble solid content (sugar content) of fruits and vegetables, the quality of fruits and vegetables can be understood, and the maturity of fruits can be estimated approximately. The handheld sugar meter is usually cylindrical in shape. Place the sugar solution to be measured in a slot that can be opened at the back, wipe it evenly, close the lid, and then point the sugar meter towards the light. Looking through the hole in the front, you can read it
