ICUMSA45-The safest and highly refined sugar!
If you talk about sugar, the first thing that comes to your mind is Brazil. Brazil has set standards for the production of sugar. Among the brands, ICUMSA45 is the benchmark product which is not only the world’s leading consumer sugar but also the safest form of sugar. The refining process of ICUMSA45 is a very complex one and involves the removal of bacteria and other contaminants present in raw sugar. ICUMSA is an acronym for the International Commission For Uniform Methods Of Sugar Analysis, who rate sugar based on its quality.
ICUMSA ratings are genuinely done based on results from a number of tests, which determined the precise color of the sugar. This is converted to a numerical value. This is possible as the color is directly proportional to the amount of refining. You can identify highly refined sugar with its sparkling white color, whereas the raw sugar with a dark color.
There are 3 stages in refining sugar, especially the ICUMSA45 brand.
- Affination-Mixing the raw sugar with a syrup to form ‘Magma’. Then the liquid content is removed and light brown sugar crystals are left behind.
- Carbonation-With the help of this, you have only a high purity solution of sucrose and water left behind by making use of lime.
- Boiling- It is done to remove excess water and to encourage sugar crystal growth.
