A hygienic design minimizes contamination risk and supports safe beverage processing.Orange juice with pulp processing ingredientsFrozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ) is the primary raw material, typically at 65°Brix, representing 10%–20% of the final formulation. FCOJ is commonly supplied in 220 L drums or 1000 L IBC containers. ...
From climate change and disease, to declining production and uncertainties around tariffs and trade, the global orange juice sector is going through unprecedented upheaval, which will result in winners and losers for both growers and ...
Each treatment was replicated three times, with an average of 50 trees per replica. Brix values were taken from 10 peaches harvested at random from each treatment ...
Westech Industrial Ltd is excited to announce the launch of our partner Vaisala's pioneering optical inline process refractometer series for industrial liquid measurements. The series is designed to provide accurate and reliable measurement of refractive index, concentration and density of liquids in a range of industrial applications. The Vaisala optical inline process refractometer series ...
2-minute read To achieve the desired quality of wine, grapes need to be harvested at a specific maturity level. A key determinant of maturity is grape sugar levels. In simple terms, sugar levels at the time of harvest determine the alcohol content of the wine produced, but it goes beyond that to affect the characteristics and temperament of the wine. Predicting when grapes reach the desired ...
Current best practices Sugar levels: The increasing concentrations of soluble solids, primarily glucose and fructose, during maturation can be measured using a refractometer or a hydrometer and expressed as either degree Brix, Baume, or %SS (soluble solids). The Brix refractometer measures the degree to which light is bent by sugars in grape juice, whereas the ...
Once harvested, test for quality using a brix refractometer and cool as quickly as possible to prevent bacterial growth. ...

Details: Kyminasi Plant Booster (KPB) technology was installed on 4 acres of their blueberries in December 2019 and harvested in August 2020. Post-harvest quality measurements were completed after 30 days of storage at ...
Fruit sweetness depends on the total amount of sugar, which is estimated by degrees Brix. However, not all consumers like fruit that is only sweet; some balance of taste with sourness derived from acids is desirable. ...
The first duty of any food or drink manufacturer is to supply its consumers with a product that is safe. Due to their organic nature, some of the most wholesome and natural products, such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, fruit and vegetables, and meat products are all subject to spoilage by biological organisms including bacteria and fungi. While maintaining good equipment hygiene through the use of ...
In concentrations above 66° Brix (1°Bx is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution) the osmotic pressure of a sucrose or fructose solution is so high that bacteria cannot survive, but many produce spores which lie dormant until the concentration is reduced when the syrup is added to the product. ...
Highly technical farmers like the Mullers will implement an irrigation strategy known as Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI) that optimally increases soluble solid content (also known as Brix) through the calculated manipulation of water application. At a specific time in the crop development cycle — such as the beginning of the pink fruit stage, around ...

More efficiency of CO2 absorption to make best taste of drink even till the end of every drink (Bottle) Maximum yield recovery through smooth production interlink with Brix improvement through ultra pure water. More clear even transparent Syrup of CSD drink with pleasant taste and beautiful bubbles of CO2. ...
According to the authors, the Bi-OnÒ sachets had an important effect on the ripening delay of kiwi fruits during the cold storage at 0ºC (softening and ºBrix content). Bi-OnÒ is an extruded media made of natural clays and potassium permanganate with an ethylene absorption capacity of 4.5 ml C2H4/kg (as tested following the method B-3150-14 – ...
Syrups – solutions of sugars like sucrose, fructose and glucose - are key ingredients in thousands of food and beverage products, adding sweetness to soft drinks, fruit juices, confectionary and even tomato ketchup. In concentrations above 66°Brix (1°Bx is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution) the osmotic pressure of the solution is so high that bacteria ...
A leading Strawberry grower reported an increase in Brix of 8% which is consistent with work we have done in other crops and we are awaiting the results of a trial on Gala Apples with FAST at the moment. ...
Maple Syrup Address mold contamination both pre-and post-processing: Identify the source and elimate contamination in new containers and storage barrels Develop strategies for consumers to minimise mold damage Determine the most effective protocol for hot packing syrup i.e. temperatures and times for different containers Determine the optimal degrees Brix (between ...

Unlike other UV manufacturers who simply offer waste water systems for sugar applications, atg UV Technology have designed a specific range of Liquid Sugar UV disinfection systems to deal with the high viscosities encountered in sugar solutions up to 66 brix, at as low as 10-15% UVT (Ultraviolet Transmittance). The SS (sugar solution) range system design is significantly ...
