What is ICUMSA?

ICUMSA is an acronym that stands for “International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis), and it’s an organization that represents the NCSA to the entire world. They’re the only internationally known organization that is focused on the analytical process associated with the refining of sugar, as well as many other processes within the sugar industry.

Sometimes referred to as “IC” such as IC45, ICUMSA is a worldwide organization that is focused on the analysis of sugar. They make the connection between the NCSA (National Committees for Sugar Analysis) and dozens of other countries to ensure that their standards are met when it comes to analyzing sugars of all sorts.

Whether it’s raw, cane, white, plantation white, beet, molasses, or any other kind of specialty sugar, the ICUMSA Methods Book offers up incredibly featured instructions covering how to effectively analyze sugars.
