A range of raw sugar ‘brands’ are produced to suit the requirements of export customers. Some typical quality parameters that may vary for each export customer are polarisation, colour, moisture, starch and dextran. Queensland Sugar Limited manages a sugar quality scheme designed to encourage sugarcane millers to produce raw sugar within a set of predetermined quality ranges.
