ICUMSA 45 Sugar

ICUMSA 45 Sugar is a premium, highly refined white cane sugar renowned globally as one of the purest forms available for consumption and industrial use. Named after the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis (ICUMSA), the "45" denotes its exceptionally low color value (45 ICUMSA units), indicating a sparkling white appearance with minimal impurities. This sugar is produced through advanced multi-stage refining processes, including carbonatation, filtration, centrifugation, and crystallization, resulting in crystals that are fine to medium in size, perfectly dry, free-flowing, and 100% soluble in water without residue.

Specifications

Key quality specs include polarization of 99.8% minimum, sucrose content of 99.9%+, moisture under 0.04%, reducing sugar max 0.05%, and sulphated ash below 0.04%. It contains no genetically modified organisms (GMO-free), is free from contaminants like radiation or heavy metals, and meets stringent food-grade standards such as those from the FDA or EU regulations. Packaging typically comes in 50kg PP bags, 1MT big bags, or 25kg bags on pallets for efficient shipping.

Applications

Ideal for high-end food and beverage industries, including soft drinks, bottled water flavoring, baking, confectionery, dairy products, and pharmaceuticals. Its clarity prevents discoloration in clear liquids, while its neutral taste enhances recipes without off-flavors. Widely traded from origins like Brazil and Thailand, it's a staple in international B2B portals for bulk buyers seeking reliability and consistency.
