Brix determination in fruit juices using the Abbemat refractometers
Reliable Brix measurement enables juice producers to control quality from fruit selection to final bottling. The Abbemat refractometers series from Anton Paar offer precise, temperature-controlled analysis that is compliant with ICUMSA and ideal for food industry needs.
In fruit juice production, Brix is one of the most fundamental quality parameters. It reflects the concentration of total dissolved solids—primarily sugars—and serves as a key indicator of product quality, compliance with labeling, and process performance. Consistent Brix values are important not only for consumer satisfaction but also for legal conformity with standards such as the EU Fruit Juice Directive 2012/12/EU and the Codex Alimentarius.
Traditionally refractometry remains the most direct and effective method for Brix determination. Anton Paar’s latest Abbemat series refractometers offer precise, fast, and operator-independent measurements, fulfilling the needs of modern juice producers handling everything from raw fruit to reconstituted concentrates.
