Food and Beverage manufacturers are striving to meet more stringent quality standards. By treating liquid sugar (often referred to as sugar syrups) with ultra-violet light, producers can achieve their treatment goals without the risk of discoloring or changing the taste of their products.

If untreated, microorganisms in liquid sugar can cause food discoloration, adverse flavors, undesired odors and reduced product shelf-life. The utility of UV treatment is further increased as manufacturers respond to consumer demand for reduction in additives and preservatives.
