Very High Polarization (VHP) Veja mais

Developed in Brazil in 1993, VHP sugar is a "hi-pol" raw sugar designed for high efficiency in transport and refining.

• Appearance and Texture:

  • Color: Light brown to golden/honey hue, as it retains a thin layer of molasses around its crystals.

  • Crystals: Solid, uniform brown crystals with a medium to coarse granulation (approx. 0.6 mm).

  • Texture: Dry and free-flowing with lower moisture content than traditional raw sugars.

• Flavor Profile:

  • Natural cane sweetness with a subtle molasses aroma.

• Key Technical Specifications:

  • Polarization (Sucrose): Minimum 99.4% (often up to 99.8%).

  • ICUMSA Rating: Typically between 600 and 1200 units.

  • Moisture Content: Maximum 0.15%.

  • Solubility: 95% to 100% dry and free-flowing.

• Primary Uses:

  • Refining Input: The primary raw material for producing ICUMSA 45 white refined sugar.

  • Industrial Applications: Used in large-scale food manufacturing, fermentation, and ethanol production.

  • Direct Consumption: Safe for human consumption in regions where unrefined brown sugar is preferred for baking or cooking
