Where This Grade Is Used

Beverages & Soft Drinks

High solubility and a neutral taste make it well suited to carbonated drinks, juices, and flavoured waters, where clarity and consistent sweetness matter.

Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical

Its purity meets the strict formulation requirements for syrups, tablets, and oral rehydration products, where any interference with active ingredients is unacceptable.

Confectionery & Baking

A neutral, consistent sweetness that doesn't mask delicate flavours — a common choice for fine confectionery and baked goods.

Dairy Products

Used in flavoured milk, yogurt, and ice cream, where clean sweetness and reliable dissolution are essential to the final product.

Packaging & Ordering

Available in 25kg or 50kg food-grade PP bags with inner lining, or 1-tonne jumbo bags for containerized bulk orders. Minimum order is one 20FT or 40FT container.

Every shipment can be supported with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and, on request, an SGS or equivalent third-party inspection report.

Buyers in beverage and pharmaceutical sectors often layer additional internal requirements on top of standard ICUMSA 45 specification — such as limits on sulfur dioxide or microbiological counts. Let us know your specific requirements when requesting a quote and we'll confirm whether we can meet them.

How is ICUMSA 45 different from ICUMSA 100 or 150?

The number reflects colour/purity on the ICUMSA scale — lower means whiter and more refined. ICUMSA 45 is the whitest and most refined grade we offer, typically required for pharmaceutical and premium beverage use; ICUMSA 100 and 150 are still high-quality white sugars but carry a lower cost, appropriate where extreme whiteness isn't a formulation requirement.

Can you supply additional testing beyond the standard COA?

Yes — for pharmaceutical or premium beverage buyers, we can arrange additional testing (heavy metals, sulfite content, microbiological analysis) through a third-party inspection agency such as SGS on request.

What's your minimum order for this grade?

One 20FT or 40FT container load. Get in touch with your target volume and destination port for a tailored quote.
