An attempt has been made to design optimization of Refractormetric based method for the measurement of Brix.  Optimization of various constructional parameters including selection and location of source, prism and detector, position of source, angular position and height of source from prism plane, divergent angle of source, refractive index of prism, size of prism, the location of detector to pick up the optimum reflected light, refractive index of sample, critical angle, choice of suitable prism. With considering the above mentioned parameters, mathematical modeling and simulation of the proposed system has been performed and then experimental model is developed accordingly.
