Study fruit ripeness and sweetness with a handheld sugar meter
Handheld sugar meter, it is mainly used to quickly determine the concentration or refractive index of sugar solutions and other non-sugar solutions. It is widely used in sugar, food, beverage and other industrial sectors as well as in agricultural production and scientific research.
Introduction to the use of handheld 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 bubbles and allow the solution to spread on the surface of the prism. Aim the light entrance plate of the instrument at the light source or bright place, observe the field of view through the eyepiece, and turn the eyepiece adjustment handwheel to make the blue-white dividing 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 indicator for evaluating the quality of fruit food, but also an important indicator for detecting fruit maturity. In agricultural research, agricultural production and fruit storage environments, fruit sugar content is one of the important basis for determining picking, transportation and storage. .
In different ripening stages of the same fruit, its maturity level is different, so its sugar content is also different. Therefore, during the fruit planting stage, using a handheld fruit sugar meter to measure the sugar content of the fruit can help fruit and vegetable 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 sugar content of fruits; distinguish the grades of fruits, etc. In addition, the handheld sugar meter can also be used as an agricultural cooperative and agricultural product An effective tool for research institutions to help improve the quality of fruit cultivation.
