Curry • Soup

1. Taking a sample

When preparing a sample to be measured, avoid large, solid pieces in the sample as much as possible. If the sample contains a lot of oil, try to avoid the oil as well. Place 20-50 grams of curry or stew into a beaker and mix well with a plastic spoon. Apply a few drops onto the prism surface.

2.Measuring Method

 ● Hand-Held Refractometers  <MASTER-α, T, M>
1) After thoroughly mixing the sample, apply a few drops onto the prism with a plastic spoon. Make sure the sample is evenly spread over the prism when closing the daylight plate.   2) Look through the eyepiece. Read the boundary line where the blue and the white color meet. This is the Brix (%)
 ● "Pocket" Condiments Refractometer<PAL-98S>
1) After thoroughly mixing the sample, apply a few drops onto the prism with a plastic spoon. Agitate lightly in the sample stage before measuring.   2) Press the START key. The measured value is digitally displayed in a few seconds. If you are measuring continuously, calculate the average of the repeated measurements.
*The measured value may vary if the same sample is measured continuously due to the influence of oil and/or suspended solids present in the sample, or a change in the temperature of the sample.

3.Example for measurement value

Concentrations vary, depending on ingredients and manufacturing process.

  Brix
  Beef curry 13.9%
  Brown sauce 14.7%
   Corn soup 9.1%
  Cream stew 14.5%
  Bouillabaisse 7.4%
 Clam chowder 13.0%
  Minestrone 6.2%
  Shark's fin soup 5.1%

 ● For curries and stews, the displayed value shows the total percentage of all soluble solids, including sugar, salts, acid, protein, oil, spices, starch, and other similar soluble solids.

 ● It is easy to maintain the taste by checking the concentration.
