MAKING A STANDARD %BRIX SOLUTION

To make a Brix Solution, follow the procedure below:
• Place container (such as a glass vial or dropper bottle that has a cover) on an analytical balance.

• Tare the balance.
• To make an X BRIX solution weigh out X grams of high purity Sucrose (CAS #: 57-50-1)

directly into the container.

• Add distilled or deionized water to the container so the total weight of the solution is 100 g.
• Note: Solutions above 60 %Brix need to be vigorously stirred or shaken and heated in a water

bath. Remove solution from bath when sucrose has dissolved. The total quantity can be
scaled proportionally for smaller containers but accuracy may be sacrificed.

Example with 25 %Brix:
