ICUMSA 45 crystal sugar
Understand what the ICUMSA 45 grade describes, the specifications typically requested, and the packaging options available for food, beverage, and retail programs.
Meaning
and purpose
ICUMSA 45 is a refined white cane sugar grade named for its color measurement. The ICUMSA scale reports color in reference base units, and a lower number indicates a whiter, more thoroughly refined product. The specifications shown here are representative of the grade; the exact values, packaging, and shipment terms for any order are confirmed in writing with our trade team.
A maximum of 45 RBU describes sugar that has been refined, filtered, and crystallized to a bright white appearance with uniform grain size. Polarization of 99.8 degrees minimum, low moisture, and low ash are the values buyers most often specify alongside color.
Refined white sugar suits beverage production, bakery and confectionery manufacturing, dairy applications, and retail packing, where consistent color, clean flavor, and predictable dissolving behavior matter to the finished product.
Common formats include 50 kg polypropylene bags, one metric ton jumbo bags, and containerized shipment. Quantity, packaging, documentation, inspection, and delivery terms are agreed before shipment so expectations stay clear on both sides.
