White cane sugar
ICUMSA 45 sugar, whiter than the standard grade
ICUMSA 45 measures the color of sugar in solution. The lower the number, the whiter the sugar, and 45 sits below Brazil's legal limit of 60 units.
You get dry, bright, free-flowing crystals with no off-odors. It works for direct consumption and for beverages, confectionery, bakery and dairy.
