Crystal Sugar – Refinement and Quality in Every Grain
Crystal sugar, also known as glass sugar, is a type of sugar obtained through a controlled crystallisation process, which gives it its uniform texture and granulated structure. Its composition makes it ideal for various applications in the food and beverage industry, standing out for its purity and ability to dissolve evenly.
High Purity and Refinement
Crystal sugar undergoes a specialised clarification process, which involves techniques such as sulphitation and calcium carbonate filtration. This treatment ensures a product with fine and uniform crystals, an intense shine, and a purity level of 99.5%. Due to these characteristics, it is widely used in the production of carbonated drinks, liqueurs, juices, ice creams, and confectionery products.
Characteristics of ICUMSA 150 Sugar
ICUMSA 150 sugar is distinguished by its low soluble solid content, which provides a uniform texture and high stability. Its colour is slightly amber, with an appearance close to white, making it ideal for various applications in the food industry. Additionally, thanks to its refinement process, this type of sugar can be stored for up to two years without compromising its quality.
ICUMSA 150 Sugar
Quality and Versatility for the Food Industry
Brazil stands out as the world leader in sugarcane production, also establishing itself as the largest producer of sugar and ethanol. With a market share of approximately 48% of global sugar exports, the country plays a key role in the international trade of this commodity.
The term ICUMSA refers to the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis, the organisation responsible for setting global classification standards based on the level of refinement and colour of sugar.
Crystal Sugar – Versatility and Efficiency in the Food Industry
Crystal sugar, widely used in the production of bakery, confectionery, and beverages, is a popular choice for large-scale manufacturing. It is obtained through a natural crystallisation process, without the need for intensive chemical refinement, allowing it to retain more of its original characteristics.
Due to its less refined production process, this type of sugar is a more affordable alternative compared to ICUMSA 45 or refined white sugar. Its lower content of chemical additives makes it an excellent choice for various applications in the food and beverage industry.
