ICUMSA stands for International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis. It is an international body that standardizes methods for sugar analysis to ensure uniformity and accuracy in the measurement of sugar content in various products.
ICUMSA 150 refers to a specific level of purity for sugar, as defined by the ICUMSA. It is a measure of the color of the sugar, specifically for white refined sugar.
ICUMSA 150 sugar is relatively light in color compared to other refined sugars. It is commonly used in various food and beverage applications, including baking, confectionery, and the production of certain beverages. The lower the ICUMSA number, the lighter and more refined the sugar is considered to be.
