Applications
Common uses
Refined white sugar is used in beverages, confectionery, bakery and food ingredient packing. Beverage buyers may require additional floc, turbidity and microbiological acceptance tests. Buying detail: Record the colour method in the contract and COA before comparing results. Confirm the sampling point and agreed acceptance procedure; a product photograph or the number 45 on a quotation cannot replace a lot-linked analysis.
