Icumsa 45

Setting the standard which other types of sugar are measured against, ICUMSA 45 sugar is the world’s leading consumer sugar. A highly refined sugar product, it is easily recognizable by its distinctive sparkling white color and pure sucrose taste. ICUMSA 45 is perpetually in high demand as it is the safest form of sugar, due to the fact that the refining process by which it is created removes the bacteria and contaminants often present in raw sugars which can pose a threat to human health. But what does ‘ICUMSA 45′ actually mean? ICUMSA is an acronym for the International Commission For Uniform Methods Of Sugar Analysis, an international regulatory body which sets the standard for sugar analysis tests thereby creating a system which can be used anywhere on the globe to accurately and quickly describe the properties of sugar. This is an essential system due to the fact that the sugar trade is a global one, and often buyers and sellers will be operating in completely different parts of the world, not to mention sometimes contending with a language barrier which can complicate negotiations. The ICUMSA ratings method allows a meaningful and accurate description of the product which can be easily understood by interested parties no matter where they come from.

ICUMSA 45 Warning

Whilst ICUMSA standards are international, they do vary slightly in Europe from the rest of the world. In Europe, raw sugar is sometimes referred to as ICUMSA 42. This may prove confusing for buyers, but the simplest way to ensure that you understand what kind of sugar is being offered is to ask the seller the rating of the sugar according to the Brazilian SGS standard, which claSssifies highly refined sugar as a low ICUMSA 45, and increases proportionately with the rawness of the sugar.
