METHOD 1 
  
A1. DETERMINATION OF SPECIFIC GRAVITY 
 A1.1 Apparatus 
 
A1.1.1 Specific Gravity Bottle   
13  
A1.2 Procedure  —  Clean and thoroughly dry the specific gravity bottle and weigh it.  Fill it up to the 
mark with freshly boiled and cooled distilled water which has been maintained at a temperature of 20 
± 1°C, and weigh. Remove the water, dry the bottle again and fill it with the material maintained at 
the same temperature.  Weigh the bottle again. 
 
A1.3 Calculation  A1.3.1  Specify the temperature of testing 
 
A1.3.2  Calculate as follows: 
 
 Specify gravity at 20°C/20°C = 
ABAC
 
 
 where, 
 
  C = mass in g of the specific gravity bottle with the material. 
   
  A = mass in g of the empty specific gravity bottle, and 
   B = mass in g of the specific gravity bottle with water. 
 
A1.3.2.1  To find out the degrees brix the table given in Appendix A shall be used. 
 
 
  
METHOD  2 
 
 
A2. REFRACTOMETRIC METHOD  
 
A2.1 Principle    —  This involves measurement of the refractive index of a test solution at 20°C, using a 
refractometer, and use of tables correlating refractive index with soluble solids content (exposed as sucrose) or direct reading of the soluble solids content on the refractometer. 
 
A2.2 Apparatus   — Usual laboratory apparatus, and in particular: 
 
A2.2.1  Refractometer indicating the refractive index by means of a scale graduated in 0.001, in order to 
allow readings to be estimated to 0.002.  This refractometer shall be adjusted so that at 20°C it registers for distilled water a refractive index of 1.333 0. 
A2.2.2  Alternative refractometer indicating the percent age by mass of sucrose by means of the scale 
graduated in 0.50 per cent, in order to allow readings to be estimated to 0.25 per cent. 
 
This refractometer shall be adjusted so that at 20°C it registers for distilled water a soluble solids 
(sucrose) content of zero. 
 A2.2.3  Means for circulating water to maintain the temp erature of the  prisms of the refractometer ( A2.2.1  or 
A2.2.2)  constant to within ± 0.5°C, in the neighbour hood of 20°C, which is the reference temperature 
(see A2.4.1 ). 
 
A2.2.4 Beaker, capacity 250 ml.  
 
A2.3 Procedure 
 
A2.3.1  Preparation of Test Solution 
 
A2.3.1.1   Clear liquid products   —  Thoroughly mix the laboratory sample and use it directly for the   
determination.  
14  
A2.3.1.2    Semi-thick products (pure’e, etc.)  —  Thoroughly mix the laboratory sample.  Press a part of the 
sample through a gauze folded in four.  Reject the first drops of the liquid and reserve the 
remainder of the liquid for the determination. 
 
A2.3.1.3   Determination   —    A d j u s t  t h e  w a t e r  c i r c u l a t i o n  ( A2.2.3 ) in order to operate at the required 
temperature (between 15°C and 25°C) and allow it to flow to bring the prisms of the refractometer 
(A2.2.1  or A2.2.2 ) to the same temperature, which shall remain constant to within ± 0.5°C during 
the determination. 
 
 Bring the test solution ( A2.3.1 ) to the measuring temperature.  Put a small quantity of the test  
solution (2 or 3 drops are sufficient) on the fixed prism of the refractometer ( A2.2.1  or A2.2.2 ) and 
immediately adjust the movable prism.  Suitably, illu minate the field of view.  The use of a sodium 
vapour lamp allows more precise results to be obtained (especially in the case of coloured and 
dark products). 
  Bring the line dividing the light and dark parts of the surface in the view to the crossing of the 
thread and read the value of the refractive index or the percentage by mass of sucrose, according 
to the instrument used. 
 A2.3.1.4  Number of determinations  —  Carry out two determinations on the same laboratory sample. 
 
A2.4 Expression of Results 
 
A2.4.1  Corrections  —  If the determination has been carried out at a temperature other than 20 ± 0.5°C, 
the following corrections are required: 
 
(a) For the scale indicating the refractive index ( see A2.2.1 ) apply the formula:  
 
  
)20( 13 000.0    t
D20
D   t n n  
 
   where,      t  = the temperature of measurement in degrees Celcius. 
 
(b) For the scale indicating the percentage by mass of sucrose ( see A2.2.2 ), correct the result 
according to Table B1  (Appendix B).   
 
A2.4.2   Method of Calculation and Formula   —  The double solids content, expressed as a percentage by 
mass, is obtained as follows: 
 
A2.4.2.1  Refractometer with refractive index scale   —  Read from Table B2  (Appendix B) the percentage 
by mass of sucrose corresponding to the value and read in accordance with A2.3.1.3 , corrected, 
if  necessary, in accordance with A2.4.1  (a).  In the case of liquid or semi-thick products 
(A2.3.1.1  or A2.3.1.2 ), the soluble solids content is equal to the number found. 
 
A2.4.2.2  Refractometer with sucrose scale   —  In the case of liquid or semi-thick products ( A2.3.1.1  or 
 A2.3.1.2 ), the soluble solids content, as percentage by mass of sucrose, is equal to the value, 
read in accordance with A2.3.1.3 , corrected, if necessary, in accordance with A2.4.1 (b). 
 
  Take as the result the arithmetic mean of the two determinations, if the requirement of 
repeatability (see A2.4.3 ) is satisfied. 
 
 Express the result to one decimal place. 
 
A2.4.3  Repeatability   —  The difference between the results of two determinations carried out in rapid 
succession by the same analyst shall not exceed 0.5 g of soluble solids per  100 g of product. 
  
15 A2.5 Test Report   —  The test report shall show the met hod used and the result obtained.  It shall 
mention any operational details not specified in this standard or regarded as optional, as well as 
any incidents which may have influenced the results. 
 
 The result shall given all information requir ed for complete identification of the sample.
