Frequently Asked Questions
How does sugarcane powder differ from refined sugar or jaggery powder?
Sugarcane powder is produced by dehydrating fresh sugarcane juice with minimal processing. Unlike refined white sugar, it retains trace minerals (iron, calcium, potassium) and natural molasses flavour. Unlike jaggery powder, it has a lighter colour and more neutral flavour profile, making it suitable for a wider range of formulations.
Is it suitable as a 1:1 replacement for refined sugar in formulations?
Sugarcane powder can substitute refined sugar on a 1:1 ratio by weight in most applications. The slight molasses flavour may be perceptible in light-flavoured products — formulation testing is recommended.
Does it contain any additives or anti-caking agents?
Standard supply is free of additives, anti-caking agents, and colourants. If your application requires free-flowing powder with added anti-caking agent, please specify this at the time of inquiry.
Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis with each shipment?
Yes. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is provided with every shipment, covering the standard quality parameters listed under product specifications.
