ICUMSA Ratings
Sugar is graded according to ICUMSA standards. 'ICUMSA' is an acronym
which stands for the International Commission For Uniform Methods Of
Sugar Analysis. This is an international body that oversees sugar
testing methods and ensures that there are standardized methods in
place for analyzing sugar, and standardized ratings which can be
accurately given to sugar no matter where in the world it is produced.
Because sugar is traded internationally, it is imperative that
traders can effectively comminicate the grade and quality of sugar
which is available for sale in any language. ICUMSA ratings achieve
this purpose admirably, and the ICUMSA ratings system is now in many
ways the backbone of the international sugar trading industry. All
sugar sold on the International market will have an ICUMSA rating,
and must be SGS tested asccording to ICUMSA standards before leaving
the port of sale.
ICUMSA ratings are actually colormetric assesments. This type of
assesment is effective because the color of sugar is directly
proportional to its level of refinement. Highly refined sugar is a
very bright white color, whereas raw sugar is a deep brown color.
Using a scientific instrument called a colorimeter, it is possible to
assign a numerical value to the color of a sugar sample. This
numerical value is the ICUMSA rating.
ICUMSA testing is carried out using a tristimulus colorimeter. A
sugar sample is inserted into the colorimeter, and various
wavelenghts of light are fired at it. Dark colors absorb a great deal
of the light, and reflect little back, where as light colors reflect
a great deal of light and absorb little. The more light that is
absorbed by the sample, the higher the ICUMSA rating. Very dark
sugars an have ratings up to ICUMSA 4600, whereas the most refined
white sugars have a low ICUMSA rating of 45.
