What is molasses?

Molasses, also referred to as molasses molasses, is molten liquid that remains after draining through the method of crystallization and crystallization. Molasses is a by-product of the sugar industry, which is the end product of sugar production from which sugar can no longer be crystallized economically by conventional technologies.

Where is molasses from?

After harvest, the cane is cut off. The cane is crushed or chopped and then pressed for water. Boil water to concentrate, until the crystals form. The sugar crystals were separated and the molasses was further refined. After about three times concentrated, it is almost impossible to make more sugar crystals by conventional means, the remaining liquid is molasses or molasses.

There is also a small amount of sugar cane molasses. Unlike refined sugar, molasses contains a significant amount of vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, iron and iron, each serving of molasses can provide 20% of the daily value needed. for these minerals.

Ingredients of Molasses

Sugar molasses accounts for 3-5% of the sugarcane weight, and is composed of:

Water 20%

Saccharo Road 35%

reducing sugar 20%

As 15%

Protetin 5%

Wax 1%

4%

And some minerals Fe, Al, Ca, Mg, P, K.

 * Note: The molasses content depends on sugarcane variety, harvesting period, soil, weather and sugar production process. Thus molasses changes in nutrient composition, flavor, color and viscosity.
