Calculate the dry matter content from the refractive indices for sucrose solutions at 20 oC in the table given and correct for the presence of invert sugars by adding to the result obtained from the tables, 0.022 for every 1 % of invert sugar present in the sample as analyzed.

n values in these tables are calculated from the equation developed by K. Rosenhauer for ICUMSA, programed and computed by Frank G. Carpenter of UDSA, and published in Sugar J. 33, 15-22 (June 1970). Refractive index was measured at 20 oC with 0 line of Na. Brix (% sucrose by weight) was obtained by weighing at 20 oC in air at 760 Torr (mm Hg) pressure and 50 % relative humidity. It replaces the previous table, 47.012, 11th edition, taken from Intern. Sugar J. 39, 22s (1937).
