Sugars and Related Commodities
This laboratory undertakes the analysis of raw, refined and speciality sugars, molasses, syrups, honey and other products containing sugars.
Many of the methods used are those of ICUMSA and are included in our UKAS schedule of accreditation.
Refined and Raw Sugar Analysis
The following covers general analysis for refined and raw sugars:
- Polarisation
- Moisture (Loss on drying)
- Sulphated ash
- Conductivity ash
- Invert Sugar content
- Reducing sugars (Lane & Eynon)
- Colour
- Particle size determination including Mean Aperture and Coefficient of Variation
- Sulphur dioxide
- Water insoluble matter
White Sugar Analysis
The following is the typical analysis for refined white sugar according to the Specified Sugar Products (England) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003 No. 1563):
- Polarisation
- Invert Sugar content
- Moisture (Loss on drying)
Molasses Analysis
The following are typical analysis of the Molasses trade:
- Degree brix (from Specific Gravity)
- Degree brix (from Refractive Index)
- Reducing sugars (Munsun & Walker)
- Reducing sugars (Lane & Eynon)
- Solid matter (vacuum oven)
- Sucrose (Jackson & Gillis IV)
- Sucrose (before and after inversion)
- Sulphated ash
- Sulphur dioxide (Monier Williams)
- Total sugars as invert
Honey Analysis
The following covers UK statutory requirements for Honey (England) Regulations 2003 (SI 2003 No. 2243):
- Acidity
- Colour Pfund grader
- Dextrose
- Diastase number
- Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)
- Moisture (from Refractive Index)
- Reducing sugars, as invert
- Sucrose
- Water insoluble matter
Other Carbohydrate Analysis
The following are analyses carried out on Food & Beverage products:
- Total sugars as Sucrose
- Brix (from Refractive Index)
- Moisture (vacuum oven)
- Starch (Ewers method)
The above list of specific analytical methods only shows those which are most frequently requested by our customers. Many others are available. Please feel free to contact Mr Mark Faint (E-Mail: carbs@salamonandseaber.co.uk) for further information or fill out a form for a quotation.
Please note that we are also able to correspond in Arabic, French, German, and Polish
