I am wondering about measuring taste in food and liquid. Came across "refractometer" measuring the sweetness / BRIX value. Anybody can help me out and explain a bit more in this? How accurate and wil this work in commercial kitchen?

It just tells you the sugar content and is only accurate on clear liquids, like white grape juice. I have used one in winemaking, but I prefer to use a hydrometer, it isn't as accurate, but it works in all liquids.
