For your homemade sauces & dips
SMARTREF BRIX REFRACTOMETER | LAB MEISTER MOBILE APP
When making ketchup, the tomato paste or tomato puree is diluted with water to the desired Brix level. Depending on the recipe, the remaining ingredients such as sugar, salt, and preservatives are then added, followed by sterilization and homogenization for the required consistency.
With the SmartRef digital Brix refractometer, you can measure the Brix value of the ingredients of your ketchup, sauces, and dips and make decisions regarding dilution based on that.
Connected to a mobile app, the SmartRef digital refractometer determines the sugar content of your raw ingredients in °Brix and additionally allows you to store and visualize the measurement results so that you can easily ensure consistency within your production results.
The Lab Meister smartphone app allows you to measure, save, visualize and export data all in one place.
With a small sample volume of only 0.4 mL, the SmartRef delivers accurate results with automatic temperature compensation (ATC):
- Brix [°Bx]
- Refractive index current temp. [nD]
- Refractive index at 20 °C [nD @20]
- Temperature [°C], [°F]
Additional measurement units with Lab Meister Pro mobile app subscription:
- Fructose [% w/w Fru]
- Glucose [% w/w Glc]
- Invert sugar [% w/w IS]
