Knowledge
Brix & Refractive Index - The Brix scale is a popular scale derived from the refractive index of a solution at 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit). It was originally created by determining the percentage of sucrose (by weight) dissolved in a sucrose & water solution. In other words, dissolving 10g of sucrose in 90g of water would produce a 10% Brix solution. This simple scale has been used since the 19th century to quickly and accurately determine the concentration of a variety of liquids.
