Granulated Sugar

Granulated sugars are the most versatile and widely used white crystalline sugars. The 'standard', granulated sugar is a high purity and free-flowing sugar.

The Granulated Range

  Application Key Properties
Standard Granulated A wide variety of food and drink applications White granulated sugar – typical particle size 450-600 µm
Select Granulated A wide variety of food and drink applications Consistent particle size screened to ensure >250 µm 92% min & >1.0mm 2.5% max
Granulated No.25 A wide variety of food and drink applications Lower solution colour Max 25 ICUMSA
BP/EP Granulated Pharmaceutical applications Complies to BP & EP Pharmacopoeia

Standard Granulated Sugar
Standard granulated sugar is recognised as the 'gold standard' which alternative sweetener systems strive to match and is probably one of the most undervalued food ingredients.

Standard granulated sugar is a 'general purpose sugar', suitable for use in many varied food and drink manufacturing processes.

Providing texture and structural properties to many food and drink products, standard granulated sugar really is the essential ingredient. Like all sugars, it can act as a flavour enhancer, emphasising desirable tastes or masking undesirable ones. By decreasing water activity, it has a preservative effect, inhibiting growth of micro-organisms in jams and jellies.

Speciality White Granulated Sugars
This range of sugars, specifically manufactured and selected to meet the needs of particular food manufacturing processes, complements the 'standard' granulated product. Providing all of the benefits of the 'standard' product, each of the sugars in this range brings an added benefit to the process for which it has been designed.

Select Granulated Sugar
A high quality, white granulated sugar carefully screened to provide a consistent particle size - at least 92% greater than 250 microns of which no more than 2.5% of crystals are larger than 1.0mm.

This regularity is essential for biscuit manufacture where the use of Select Granulated sugar contributes to consistent biscuit texture and a uniformity of size.

Granulated No. 25 Sugar
An enhanced grade of sugar with a standard particle size distribution and lower solution colour. (not exceeding 25 ICUMSA units).Where it is necessary to produce soft drinks, fondants or sugar confectionery with low levels of colour, Granulated No. 25 will meet the requirement.

BP/EP Granulated Sugar
BP / EP granulated sugar is guaranteed to meet the requirements of the British and European Pharmacopoeia and can therefore be used in pharmaceutical preparations where BP/EP compliance is required.
