What is the 'Sugar Ratio' (in percentage) in the SCM in terms of sugar and water content in the final product?

  • A.48.19
  • B.61.54
  • C.54.16
  • D.56.14

Answer: B

The sugar ratio is 61.54%.

The sugar ratio of sweetened condensed milk is the sugar as a percentage of the sugar solution, that is sugar plus water, because it is the concentration of sugar in the water phase that preserves the product by raising osmotic pressure:

\[ \text{Sugar ratio} = \frac{40}{40 + 25} \times 100 = 61.54\% \]

A sugar ratio around 62 to 64 percent is the standard target. 48.19, 54.16 and 56.14 do not follow from this definition.
