Specialty Additive for Improved Sugar Crystal Hardness, Colour & Lustre

Improving Crystal Quality During Sugar Processing

Sugar crystallization processes can face challenges in achieving the desired crystal hardness, brightness, and low ICUMSA colour. These factors can directly impact finished sugar quality and market value.

Improving crystal properties during pan processing is therefore important for achieving better sugar quality and the desired visual characteristics of the final product.

Pan Shiner is a multifunctional additive developed to enhance sugar crystal properties during pan processing. Its cationic nature helps neutralize negatively charged colloids and suspended particles, enabling coagulation and aggregation into larger structures.

FAQ's

How does PAN SHINER improve the quality of finished sugar?

PAN SHINER enhances crystal hardness, structure, lustre, and brilliance while helping achieve lower ICUMSA colour values for improved market appearance.

Why are some sugar crystals softer or duller than expected?

Sugar crystal quality can vary depending on pan boiling conditions and process impurities. PAN SHINER promotes better crystal development, resulting in harder, brighter, and more visually appealing sugar crystals.

Does PAN SHINER require changes to pan operation?

No. It is added during normal pan boiling operations, primarily in the A-PAN, with optional use in the B-PAN when required.
