Famously, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. But sugar is not just a sweetener. It also acts as a preservative, texture modifier, flavoring and coloring agent, fermentation substrate and bulking agent in a host of food technology applications.
We operate in 14 countries worldwide, with an extensive origination and destination network backed by excellent market intelligence and research capabilities.
As well as raw and refined sugar, we now offer a wide variety of sweetener solutions for a huge range of manufacturing and consumption purposes.

Ikumsa SL with the cooperation of the sugar refinaries maintains a state of the art laboratory staffed with qualified, experienced team to ensure the quality and safety of its products, from production to final product. To ensure the quality of final product and input materials the following analyses are carried out according to ICUMSA (International Commission of Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis):
This test is used to determine the content of pure sucrose in received, processed and produced sugar.
The moisture test is one of the most important for white refined sugar to ensure the safety of the product.
Conductivity ash has individual significance during different manufacturing stages and in final product. It is a quick method to know the ionic (undissolved) impurities in sugar solution.
This test is used to determine the colour of received, processed and produced sugar to ensure the quality of our refined sugar. To perform this measurement we use UV/Vis photometer device accompanied with ICUMSA standard test method.
Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by individual particles (suspended solids) that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a key test for many food and beverage industries like sugar.
