How sugar is specified
The parameters buyers ask for
Every offer and spec sheet states these four values, which define the quality and price of the sugar.
Polarization
Sugar purity, measured by polarimetry. White sugars usually range from 99.5 to 99.8 °Z or more.
ICUMSA color
Measures color at 420 nm. The lower the number, the whiter: refined sugar is max. 45 or 60; special white, 150 to 180.
Moisture
Water in the crystal. Kept at a maximum of 0.04 % to 0.1 % to prevent lumps and fermentation.
Sulphated ash
Minerals and inorganic impurities, measured as sulphated ash. In refined sugar, max. 0.04 %.
