A light brown raw sugar with more than 99.4% pool is known as VHP sugar (very high polarity sugar), often called Hi-Pol Sugar. The proportion of sucrose in a raw sugar mass is called “pol.” The phrase “virtually pure sucrose” (VHP) refers to raw sugar that contains 99.4% pure sucrose and 0.6% or less waste material.
Due to its high polarization, VHP (Very High Polarity Sugar) is utilized as a raw material for subsequent processes and is intended for refinement. Although VHP Sugar can be consumed, it is typically exported to other nations to create refined sugar. Customers and clients can transform this raw sugar into various forms for consumption.
When VHP sugar was exported initially from Brazil in 1993, it quickly gained popularity among sugar importers worldwide since it was a brand-new type of raw sugar with a far higher sucrose content and significantly less contamination than its rivals. VHP is still in high demand since it is substantially less expensive and more straightforward to refine than traditional raw sugars.
