Molasses, is a viscous by-product of the refining of sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar.
Molasses varies by amount of sugar and method of extraction, and age of plant.
Wuhan Xinyingda Chemicals Co., Ltd. Have different molasses.
Below are the introduction of them:
1. Sugarcane molasses
To make molasses, sugar cane is harvested and stripped of leaves. Often the fields of cane are set on fire to burn off the
leaves and drive out the snakes that seem to enjoy this habitat. Its juice is extracted usually by cutting, crushing or
mashing. The juice is boiled to concentrate it, promoting sugar crystallization. The result of this first boiling is called
first syrup, and it has the highest sugar content. First syrup is usually referred to in the Southern states of the US
as "cane syrup", as opposed to molasses. Second molasses is created from a second boiling and sugar extraction, and
has a slight bitter taste. The third boiling of the sugar syrup yields blackstrap molasses, known for its robust flavor.The
term blackstrap molasses is an Americanism dating fromaround 1875.The majority of sucrose from the original juice has been crystallised and removed. The food energy of blackstrap molasses is mostly from the small remaining sugar content.However, unlike refined sugars, it contains trace amounts of vitamins and significant amounts of several minerals. Blackstrap molasses has long been sold as a health
supplement. It is used for producing ethyl alcohol forindustry and as an ingredient in cattle feed.Blackstrap molasses is significantly more bitter than
"regular" molasses.Cane molasses is a common ingredient in baking andcooking.
2. Sugar beet molasses
Molasses made from sugar beets differs from sugarcane molasses. Only the syrup left from the final crystallization
stage is called molasses; intermediate syrups are called high green and low green, and these are recycled within
the crystallization plant to maximize extraction. Beet molasses is 50% sugar by dry weight, predominantly sucrose, but contains significant amounts of glucose and fructose. Beet molasses are limited in biotin (vitamin
H or B7) for cell growth; hence, it may be supplemented with a biotin source. The non-sugar content includes many salts, such as calcium,potassium, oxalate, and chloride. It contains betaine
and the trisaccharide raffinose. These are as a resultof concentration from the original plant material or chemicals in processing, and make it unpalatable to humans. Hence it is mainly used as an additive to animal feed (called "molassed sugar beet feed") or as a fermentation feedstock.
It is possible to extract additional sugar from beet molasses through molasses desugarization. This exploits industrial-scale chromatography to separate sucrose fromnon-sugar components. The technique is economically viable in trade-protected areas, where the price of sugar is supported above market price. As such, it is practiced in the US. and parts of Europe. Molasses is also used for yeast production.
