Sugar
VHP Sugar
VHP sugar is a raw sugar with high polarization, produced directly from sugarcane, with low moisture and crystals coated with a thin film of molasses, giving it a yellowish color. It is widely used as a raw material for refining and for various industrial applications, especially in markets that require high yield and process stability.
Advantages and characteristics:
-
Very high polarization (generally above 99.0 ºZ), ensuring high sucrose content and refining efficiency.
-
Low moisture (typically 0.1–0.15%), reducing caking risk and facilitating bulk storage and transport.
-
Typical ICUMSA color in the range of 600–1200 IU, suitable for refineries seeking a balance between clarification cost and sucrose yield.
-
Controlled granulometry, with good crystal size distribution, ideal for smooth flow in pneumatic systems and industrial silos.
-
Traceable and certifiable origin, meeting international quality standards (BRC, ISO, etc.) and food safety requirements.
-
Integrated production at sugar mills, with a short and consolidated supply chain (field–mill–port), enhancing logistics competitiveness.
Typical applications:
-
Sugar refineries
-
Beverage industry (soft drinks, juices, beers)
-
Bakery, confectionery, and dairy products
-
Export as a commodity to European, Asian, and North American markets
ICUMSA 150 Crystal Sugar
ICUMSA 150 crystal sugar is a high-quality white sugar, with light color and excellent purity, suitable for both direct consumption and industrial processing. It combines good visual appearance with process stability and high yield in formulations.
Advantages and characteristics:
-
ICUMSA color ≤ 150 IU, with white and bright crystals, meeting markets that demand an attractive final product appearance.
-
High polarization (around 99.7–99.9 °Z), ensuring high sucrose content and low impurity levels.
-
Low moisture and low ash content, promoting fast solubility and minimal impact on automatic dosing systems.
-
Uniform granulation, with good flowability and low fines content, reducing losses during packaging and production.
-
Compliance with Brazilian and international sanitary regulations, including microbiological and labeling requirements.
Typical applications:
-
Non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages
-
Bakery and confectionery products
-
Processed foods (soups, sauces, snacks)
-
Retail in household and commercial packaging
ICUMSA 45 Crystal Sugar
ICUMSA 45 sugar represents the highest level of purity and whiteness among crystallized sugars, being considered premium in markets that value impeccable color and consistent performance in sensitive formulations.
Advantages and characteristics:
-
ICUMSA color ≤ 45 IU, with extremely white and uniform crystals, ideal for high-end products.
-
Polarization very close to 99.9 °Z, with minimal non-sucrose content and low ash levels.
-
Excellent solubility and color stability, even in clear or transparent products (beverages, jams, syrups).
-
Low moisture content, reducing the risk of caking and extending shelf life during storage.
-
High standards of cleanliness and hygiene, often associated with quality and food safety certifications.
Typical applications:
-
Clear and premium beverages (flavored water, teas, clear soft drinks)
-
Fine confectionery and chocolates
-
Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products
-
High-income markets and “premium” niches
In organic sugar, it is common to find different ICUMSA color levels, including a range starting from ICUMSA 400, allowing suppliers to serve multiple market profiles — from darker, more natural products to lighter options, while maintaining organic certification.
Organic Sugar – Range starting from ICUMSA 400
Organic sugar can be produced in ICUMSA color ranges starting from 400 IU, and may vary up to around 1,200 IU, depending on the level of clarification and the desired final product type. Within this range, the sugar maintains a more yellowish or amber tone, with a higher presence of residual molasses, which contributes to a fuller and more “natural” flavor, highly valued in artisanal and premium products.
ICUMSA 400–800: Organic sugar with light to medium color, still visually quite white, but with noticeable molasses notes. Suitable for beverages, baking, and confectionery that seek a more natural profile without significantly affecting the final product color.
ICUMSA 800–1,200: Darker organic sugar, with yellow-amber coloration and a more pronounced molasses flavor. Widely used in niche products such as artisanal chocolates, jams, syrups, and specialty beverages, where differentiated flavor is a marketing attribute.
Even within this range (ICUMSA 400+), the product maintains:
-
International organic certification (e.g., USDA Organic, EU Organic, JAS), with traceability from farm to processing.
-
No synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, and clarification processes that avoid chemicals prohibited in organic systems.
-
Growing demand in European, North American, and Asian markets, especially in “clean label,” organic, and functional food segments.
This range starting from ICUMSA 400 offers flexibility for traders, allowing organic sugar to be offered at different color and flavor levels while maintaining the same certified and sustainable origin.
