Refraction & Brix

Food

Measuring the concentration (Brix) or the refractive index (RI) in a product is important for controlling your process. An accurate measurement of the concentration (% weight), liquid density (% dry matter), refractive index (RI) or Brix in liquids or slurries gives a lot of information about your product. For example, the basic composition of raw materials is crucial for an optimal production process, resulting in a consistent end product. Measuring the Brix value is therefore a well-known application in the food and beverage industry for product recognition, composition and determination of product purity. For example, think of the production of tomato paste, soft drinks or fruit juices.

When you have the concentration in your product under control, production becomes more efficient and cheaper. We are happy to help you find the right refractometer for your process;
