Liquid Sugar

Liquid sugar is a high-purity aqueous sucrose solution (typically 67° Brix) produced by dissolving refined white sugar in purified water. Unlike granulated sugar, it requires no dissolution step in manufacturing, integrates directly into beverage and food production lines, and provides highly consistent sweetness per volume. It eliminates weighing errors and improves mixing efficiency in high-speed production environments.

Our standard liquid sugar is 67.0 ± 0.5° Brix (approximately 67% dissolved solids by weight), which is the optimal concentration for stability and pumpability in most industrial applications. Custom Brix concentrations (62°–70°) can be produced for specific customer requirements. At 67° Brix, liquid sugar has a shelf life of 3–6 months in sealed containers under proper storage conditions.

Liquid sugar pricing is calculated on a dry-basis equivalent to refined white sugar ICUMSA 45, plus a processing and logistics premium for the liquid form. Typical FOB pricing ranges from $510–$640 per metric ton (dry equivalent). IBC tank and flexitank options are available, with pricing varying based on container type and destination.

Liquid sugar is exported in IBC tanks (1,000-liter intermediate bulk containers), flexitanks (20,000-liter flexible bladder tanks fitted inside standard 20ft containers), or ISO tank containers (24,000 liters). Each option has different minimum order requirements. IBC tanks are suitable for smaller orders; flexitanks offer the most cost-effective option for container-load quantities.

Liquid sugar is used extensively in carbonated beverage manufacturing (soft drinks, energy drinks), juice and flavored water production, dairy products (yogurt, ice cream, flavored milk), canned foods and condiments, pharmaceutical syrup production, and confectionery. Any application requiring a precisely metered, pre-dissolved sweetener benefits from liquid sugar's convenience and consistency.
