Assume I have two 100 ml solutions. One has 20 grams of fructose, and the other has 20 grams of glucose. When I use a refractometer to measure the Brix degrees, do I need to convert the output to different values using some conversion table, or is this output correct? I ask this because the refractometer typically measures sucrose.
My readings are:
20g fructose in 100 ml solution: 20.2 bx
20g glucose in 100 ml solution: 18.7 bx
20g sucrose in 100 ml solution: 20 bx
In other words, can I say that 20g of fructose is sweeter somehow?
