Total Solids Glucose Syrup

Total Solids Determine the refractive index of a sample at 20° or 45°, and use the appropriate Glucose Syrup table under Glucose Syrup (Corn Syrup), Appendix X.

An obvious method for determining DH rapidly is to utilize a colligative property such as osmotic pressure. As DH of a glucose syrup increases so does the total number of molecules. Cryoscopic determination of osmotic pressure, combined with total solids determination with a refractometer, suffice to determine DE (6) within a total time of about 3 minutes.
