Açúcar ICUMSA

ICUMSA 45 refers to white refined sugar with a maximum color of 45 ICUMSA units. The color measurement is based on the ICUMSA scale, where lower numbers represent a higher degree of whiteness and purity.

ICUMSA 45 sugar is commonly known as “white refined sugar” and is the most widely traded and recognized type of sugar in the world. It is produced from raw sugar through a refining process that removes impurities, resulting in a crystal-clear appearance.

ICUMSA 45 sugar is typically used in a variety of food and beverage applications, including as a sweetener in drinks, as an ingredient in confectionery and baked goods, and for table use. Its neutral flavor, fine texture, and high purity make it suitable for a wide range of culinary uses.

ICUMSA 150 is a designation for white sugar, which has a relatively low level of color. The “150” in ICUMSA 150 represents the maximum permitted color in ICUMSA units. Color is an important quality parameter for sugar, as it indicates the presence of impurities or contaminants.

In the ICUMSA scale, lower numbers indicate a higher level of whiteness. So, ICUMSA 150 sugar has a lower level of color compared to other sugars with higher ICUMSA numbers, such as ICUMSA 600, ICUMSA 1200, or ICUMSA 2500. This means that ICUMSA 150 sugar is relatively lighter in color, closer to pure white.

ICUMSA 150 sugar is commonly used in various food and beverage applications, including confectionery, baking, and as a sweetener in beverages. Its low color makes it desirable in products where a visually appealing appearance is important.

ICUMSA 600-1200 is a range of sugar within the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis (ICUMSA) classification system. ICUMSA is an organization that establishes standards for the analysis and quality control of sugar and its derivatives.

ICUMSA 600-1200 refers to sugar with a color range between 600 and 1200 ICUMSA units. The color measurement is based on the ICUMSA scale, where higher numbers indicate a darker color and potentially higher impurity levels.

Sugar in the ICUMSA 600-1200 range is often referred to as “mid-color” or “off-white” sugar. It has a slightly darker color compared to the more refined ICUMSA 45 sugar. The higher ICUMSA units indicate that it may have a higher level of impurities, resulting in a less white appearance.
