What is Brix?
July 03, 2011
In the food industry the term Brix is used to describe the approximate amount of sugars in fruit juices, wine, soft drinks and in the sugar manufacturing industry. For fruit juices, one degree Brix is about 1-2% sugar by weight. This usually correlates well with perceived sweetness. As the Brix reading increases so does the perceived sweetness of fruit, fruit juices, etc.
In reality, degrees Brix (°Bx) is a measurement of the amount of dissolved
sucrose to water in a liquid. For example, if 100 grams of a solution had a reading of 25
°Brix that would mean that the solution had 25 grams of sucrose and 75 grams of water. Since cranberry juice requires additional sweetness to make it palatable, handlers and juice manufacturers need to know the amount of sugar or sweetness in the raw fruit. In most fruit the °Brix increases as the fruit become ripe and are ready to harvest. If cranberries naturally have more sugar that means less external sweetener is needed to make a product palatable or to meet manufacturing standards. Handlers desire fruit with higher Brix readings.
Measuring °Brix
Brix can be determined in several ways and each method has its level of
accuracy. The most common way to measure °Brix is with a refractometer. A photo of a hand-held refractometer is shown below. Refractometers work on the principle that compounds refract light and the amount of light that is refracted is related to the concentration of the compound in solution. So as the sugar concentration in a solution, such as fruit juice, increases light refraction also increases.
