  "text": "The natural total soluble solid content is determined after the chloride content has been determined and added salt has been deducted. For every 1 % chloride, 1,13 degrees Brix or 0,0157 refractive index must be subtracted (at 20 °C). These corrections take account of the pre-existing natural salt content, which is fixed arbitrarily at 2 % of the total solid content.\nTABLE 1\nCorrection of readings to be made when using a refractometer having a scale showing the sucrose content, for temperatures other than 20 °C ± 0,5 °C\nTemperature °C\nSoluble solid content shown on the scale in % (mm)\n5\n10\n15\n20\n30\n40\n50\nCorrections to be subtracted\n15\n0,25\n0,27\n0,31\n0,31\n0,34\n0,35\n0,36\n16\n0,21\n0,23\n0,27\n0,27\n0,29\n0,31\n0,31\n17\n0,16\n0,18\n0,2\n0,2\n0,22\n0,23\n0,23\n18\n0,11\n0,12\n0,14\n0,15\n0,16\n0,16\n0,15\n19\n0,06\n0,07\n0,08\n0,08\n0,08\n0,09\n0,09\nCorrections to be added\n21\n0,06\n0,07\n0,07\n0,07\n0,07\n0,07\n0,07\n22\n0,12\n0,14\n0,14\n0,14\n0,14\n0,14\n0,14\n23\n0,18\n0,2\n0,2\n0,21\n0,21\n0,21\n0,21\n24\n0,24\n0,26\n0,26\n0,27\n0,28\n0,28\n0,28\n25\n0,3\n0,32\n0,32\n0,34\n0,36\n0,36\n0,36\nTABLE 2\nPercentage by mass of soluble solids (expressed as sucrose) in relation to the refractive index\nRefractive index\nSoluble solids (expressed as sucrose)\nn 20 D\n% (m/m)\n1,333\n0\n1,3344\n1\n1,3359\n2\n1,3373\n3\n1,3388\n4\n1,3404\n5\n1,3418\n6\n1,3433\n7\n1,3448\n8\n1,3463\n9\n1,3478\n10\n1,3494\n11\n1,3509\n12\n1,3525\n13\n1,3541\n14\n1,3557\n15\n1,3573\n16\n1,3589\n17\n1,3605\n18\n1,3622\n19\n1,3638\n20\n1,3655\n21\n1,3672\n22\n1,3689\n23\n1,3706\n24\n1,3723\n25\n1,374\n26\n1,3758\n27\n1,3775\n28\n1,3793\n29\n1,3811\n30\n1,3829\n31\n1,3847\n32\n1,3865\n33\n1,3883\n34\n1,3902\n35\n1,392\n36\n1,3939\n37\n1,3958\n38\n1,3978\n39\n1,3997\n40\n1,4016\n41\n1,4036\n42\n1,4056\n43\n1,4076\n44\n1,4096\n45\n1,4117\n46\n1,4137\n47\n1,4158\n48\n1,4179\n49\n1,4201\n50",
