Manufacturing / sugar analysis

Dutch term or phrase: gewogen vuil

In a product specification for 'purified crystallised sieved sugar':

5. Analytische normen:

Stortgewicht: ca 850-920 g/dm3
Gewogen vuil: max. 8 mg/kg
Zeefanalyse: max. 2% > 500 micron

weighed extraneous matter

Explanation:
Under the process descriptions for food and drink on this website the term extraneous matter is used to describe 'stuff' which is not sugar but that can end up in sugar as a consequence of how we get sugar (either from sugar beets as in Europe or sugar cane in the tropics.)
