Solution Color ICUMSA determination
The Turkish Food Codex Sugar Communiqué (Communiqué no: 2006 / 2006), issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in 40, has been issued with the aim of explaining the properties of these products in order to ensure that the sugars are produced, prepared, processed, preserved, stored, transported and marketed in accordance with the technique. .
According to this disclosure, the sugar solution is the solution formed by dissolving crystallized sucrose in water. This solution must have certain properties for the use of white as well as product names entering the invert sugar solution and invert sugar syrup. For example, the color of the sugar solution should be at most 25 IU according to the ICUMSA method. In addition, according to ICUMSA method, the conductivity ash value of invert sugar solution and invert sugar syrup should be maximum 0,1 by weight and solution color should be maximum 25 IU.
ICUMSA, English, meaning International Commission on Uniform Methods for Sugar Analysis The International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis. It is a worldwide organization that brings together national sugar analysis committees in more than twenty countries. ICUMSA is the only international organization interested in analytical methods in the sugar sector.
Among the physical analyzes carried out within the scope of food analyzes are the analysis of solution color ICUMSA determination. These analyzes are performed in accredited laboratories.
These laboratories perform these analyzes in accordance with generally accepted test methods and test criteria. On the other hand, it follows scientific researches and complies with the standards issued by local and foreign organizations in its studies. Analysis of the solution color ICUMSA is based on the following standard:
- TS 861 White sugar (sucrose)
This standard covers all white sugars in crystal, cut or powdered form. It does not only include raw sugar, brown sugar and the like.
