Sugar Content Detector
A sugar content meter determines the concentration of sugar in a liquid by measuring changes in the refractive index of light. In this handheld instrument, the sample is placed on a prism, and as a light source passes through the solution, the refraction angle is directly proportional to the sugar content, with the reading displayed as Brix degrees. It is used for sugar control in the production processes of juices, sauces, and beverages.
