Refined white sugar generally needs to have a polarization of at least 99.8 degrees, moisture content not exceeding 0.04%, and a color of no more than 45 ICUMSA units.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown of our sugar specifications:

Key Characteristics and Standards:

Polarization:

This indicates the purity of the sugar, with higher polarization values representing higher purity. For refined white sugar, it’s typically expected to be at least 99.8%.
Moisture Content:

Excess moisture can lead to problems like clumping and spoilage. A maximum limit is usually specified, often around 0.04% for refined sugar.
Color (ICUMSA Units):

This measures the sugar’s color, with lower values indicating whiter sugar. ICUMSA units are commonly used for white sugar, with a maximum limit of 45 for refined white sugar.
Grain Size:

This refers to the size of the sugar crystals and can vary depending on the type of sugar (e.g., fine, medium, coarse).
Invert Sugar Content:

This refers to the presence of invert sugars (glucose and fructose) and is often limited to a maximum percentage.
Conductivity Ash:

This measures the amount of ash (inorganic matter) and is also limited.
Other Parameters:

Depending on the specific type of sugar (e.g., raw, brown, icing), other parameters like the presence of specific microorganisms, heavy metals, or other contaminants might be specified.
