ICUMSA 45 White Refined Sugar Specifications
ICUMSA 45 White Refined Sugar is a highly purified form of sugar that meets strict international standards for color, clarity, and purity. It is widely used in the food and beverage industry for various applications, including confectionery, bakery, and beverage production.
The ICUMSA (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) 45 rating indicates that this sugar has a color value of 45 units on the ICUMSA scale, which represents a very light, almost colorless appearance. This level of color is achieved through rigorous refining processes that remove impurities and minimize color formation.
Some key specifications of ICUMSA 45 White Refined Sugar include:
- Color: ICUMSA 45 or lower, ensuring a bright, white appearance.
- Polarization: Minimum 99.8% on a dry basis, indicating a high level of sucrose purity.
- Moisture content: Typically less than 0.04%, ensuring optimal storage and handling properties.
- Ash content: Less than 0.03%, reflecting minimal mineral impurities.
- Reducing sugars: Less than 0.04%, minimizing potential for browning or crystallization issues.
ICUMSA 45 White Refined Sugar is widely available in various package sizes and is suitable for a broad range of applications, from industrial-scale manufacturing to household use.
