What Is ICUMSA 45 Sugar?
ICUMSA (International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis) rates sugar based on color, with lower values indicating higher purity. ICUMSA 45 represents the highest quality of refined white sugar available, typically free from any visible impurities and with a consistent bright white color.
Produced from cane sugar and processed to remove all traces of molasses and other non-sugar compounds, ICUMSA 45 sugar has a fine texture, is odorless, and dissolves quickly—making it suitable for applications that demand both aesthetics and performance.
Why Choose ICUMSA 45?
Ultra-Refined Quality: With an ICUMSA rating of 45 or less, this sugar features near-absolute purity. It is free from clumps, odors, and chemical residues—ensuring product consistency and compliance with international food safety standards.
Fast-Dissolving and Stable: Its refined composition allows for rapid dissolution, making it ideal for beverages and processed foods where clarity and texture matter.
Preferred in Key Global Markets: ICUMSA 45 is widely used in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia for premium applications. Buyers in these markets demand ultra-refined sugar to meet consumer expectations and regulatory benchmarks.
Sourced from Brazil: As the world’s leading producer and exporter of sugarcane, Brazil offers the scale, infrastructure, and reliability required to serve global supply chains. Our ICUMSA 45 is sourced directly from certified Brazilian mills with a long-standing reputation for excellence.
