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.

Processing and Refining Steps

The production of ICUMSA 45 sugar involves advanced refining techniques to achieve its high purity and brightness:

  1. Cane Crushing
    Freshly harvested sugarcane is crushed to extract raw juice.
  2. Clarification
    The juice undergoes filtration to remove non-sucrose impurities.
  3. Evaporation
    The clarified juice is boiled to remove excess water, concentrating it into syrup.
  4. Crystallization
    The syrup is seeded with fine sugar crystals to promote the growth of pure sugar crystals.
  5. Centrifugation
    The crystals are separated from the syrup using high-speed centrifuges.
  6. Drying and Polishing
    The sugar is dried and polished to achieve its iconic bright white color and smooth texture.
