I have a dry seasoning blend which contains ground spices, salt, sucrose 
and monosodium glutamate.  I can titrate for chlorides to determine the 
salt percentage quickly.  I need a simple test to determine the percentage 
of sucrose in the blend.  I have access to an electronic balance, 
refractometer, spectrophotometer and could perform general chemistry.
