Description
What is ICUMSA 45?
ICUMSA, short for the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis, is a standard used to define the quality of sugar based on its color and purity. ICUMSA 45 sugar, with its ultra-low color (≤ 45 IU), signifies the purest form of refined sugar. This grade of sugar undergoes extensive refining processes to remove impurities, ensuring high sweetness, exceptional whiteness, and a smooth texture.
