Product Overview & Key Specifications
ICUMSA Colour is a laboratory measurement of sugar colour expressed in ICUMSA Units (IU) a lower value generally indicates a lighter-coloured sugar. At 150 IU maximum, ICUMSA 150 is a fully refined white cane sugar positioned for commercial and industrial production where a clean, consistent sweetener is required at volume rather than the highest achievable whiteness. The reference values below are indicative; the contracted specification is the one confirmed on the COA issued for each shipment.

ICUMSA 150 vs ICUMSA 45: Which Grade Do You Need?
Both are fully refined white cane sugar from the same Brazilian supply chain the difference is colour specification, and that difference has a direct price impact. Choosing the right one for your product avoids paying for a whiteness grade your process doesn’t need.
Parameter | ICUMSA 150 | ICUMSA 45 |
|---|---|---|
Colour | 150 IU max | 45 IU max |
Polarisation | 99.5°Z min | 99.80° min |
Relative price point | Lower cost per tonne | Premium over 150 |
Typical use case | General food manufacturing, industrial processing, bakery, beverages where colour is not the deciding factor | Clear beverages, white confectionery, dairy and pharmaceutical syrups where colour carries through to the finished product |
If your finished product is coloured, opaque, or baked a soft drink concentrate, a confection with cocoa or fruit colouring, a dry mix, an industrial feedstock ICUMSA 150 typically delivers the same functional sweetness at a lower landed cost. If your finished product is clear or pure white and colour is visible to the end consumer, our ICUMSA 45 sugar page is the better fit. Confirm your finished-product colour requirement at enquiry stage and we’ll recommend the grade that matches it.
Quality: SGS Inspection & COA
Every shipment is inspected by SGS or an equivalent independent inspection body at the load port — typically Santos or Paranaguá — with the contracted specification confirmed on a Certificate of Analysis (COA) issued in your name rather than a generic mill sheet. This is what separates a verifiable bulk sugar supply from a broker’s unverified offer. Our exporting entity is UK-registered (Company No. 16875875), independently verifiable at Companies House.
