LIQUID
SUGARS
Liquid Sugar is made by dissolving purified crystalline sucrose in heated water, which is
then filtered, cooked and stored. Liquid Sugar Type O has exacting chemical, physical and
microbiological standards that make it ideal for use in products whose formulations
receive limited processing. Type O is used in soft drinks, canned and bottled products,
dairy products, processed foods, confectionery and baking.
GRANULATED
SUGARS
BAKERS SPECIAL is our finest granulated sugar and was developed for the baking
industry. It provides fine crumb texture and dissolves easily. It is used in bakery
products, cocoa mixes, powdered drink mixes, dry mixes and coatings for doughnuts and
cookies.
COARSE GRANULATED SUGAR has a slightly smaller grain size than Sanding Sugar. As a
result, it is ideal for pneumatic handling. The crystal provides greater resistance to
caking in less than ideal storage conditions. Customers who pulverize sugar for use in
their end product will find marked improvement in yield due to the sugar's crystal surface
area and flow characteristics. Coarse Granulated Sugar in used in powdered sugar, powdered
drink mixes, candy, preserves, jams, jellies, condiments, dairy products, meats, canning,
pickles, snack foods and bakery products.
CORDIAL SUGAR is a low color, floc free version of Fine Granulated Sugar. It is used in
pharmaceuticals, cordials, liquors, and specialty candies.

industry. It is used in a wide range of applications including pharmaceuticals, jams,
jellies, meats, chewing gum, dairy products, condiments, pickles, bakery products,
cereals, liquid sugar, powdered sugar, candies, and powdered drink mixes.
GELATIN SUGAR is a very fine and uniform sugar that lessens the stratification or
separation of the final product. It has excellent dissolving qualities and does not
settle, thereby maintaining proper head space in jars and canisters. Gelatin Sugar is used
in gelatin, desserts, pudding mixes, powdered drink mixes, candy and bakery products.
SANDING SUGAR has a grain size that is quite large, which allows the crystal to reflect
light, thus giving the product a sparkle. This sugar is frequently used in the manufacture
of products where physical appearance is critical. Sanding Sugar adds sparkle to cookies,
jelly, candies, cotton candy, baked goods and gumdrops and can be used in colored sugar
crystals.
UNIGRAN SUGAR is a very uniform version of Fine Granulated Sugar and has virtually no
fines. Because of the hygroscopic nature of sugar, Unigran was developed primarily for use
in hot drink dispensing machines to assure continuous operation even though the machines
and sugar were subjected to severe changes in temperature and humidity. It is used in
coffee and cocoa mixes dispensed from hot drink machines, powdered drinks, drink mixes and
cereal products.

bakery and confectionery products. It creates smooth texture and easy to spread properties
for icings. 6x Powdered Sugar is used for icing and dusting, candies and pharmaceuticals.
