CONSENTRATE LIQUID
Sulfured molasses is made from young sugar cane. Sulfur dioxide, which acts as a preservative, is added during the sugar extraction process. Unsulphured molasses is made from mature sugarcane, which does not require such treatment.
To make molasses, the cane of a sugar plant is harvested and stripped of its leaves. Its juice is extracted usually by crushing or mashing, but also by cutting. The juice is boiled to concentrate it, which promotes the crystallisation of the sugar. The result of this first boiling and of the sugar crystals is first molasses, which has the highest sugar content because comparatively little sugar has been extracted from the source. Second molasses is created from a second boiling and sugar extraction, and has a slight bitter tinge to its taste.
The third boiling of the sugar syrup yields blackstrap molasses, known for its robust flavor
The calorie content of blackstrap molasses is still 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 is a source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron; one tablespoon provides up to 20% of the daily value of each of those nutrients. Blackstrap has long been sold as a health supplement. It is also used in the manufacture of ethyl alcohol for industry and as an ingredient in cattle feed
Other food and consumption derivatives
- Molasses can be used as the base material for fermentation into rum.
- Molasses may be used in some dark brewed beverages such as some stouts or very heavy dark ales (however barley malt syrup is also a thick, dark syrup, and barley is a common grain for beer making).
- Molasses is added to some brands of tobacco used for smoking through a Middle Eastern water pipe (e.g., hookah, shisha, narghile, etc.). It is mixed into the tobacco with glycerine and flavorings; sometimes it is used with honey and other syrups or fully substituted by them. Brands that use molasses include Mazaya, Al-Fakher, Nakhla, Tangiers and Salloum.
- Blackstrap molasses may be used as an iron supplement for those who cannot tolerate the constipation associated with other iron supplementation.
- Molasses is used as an additive in livestock feeds.
- Molasses is used in fishing groundbait
Chemical
- Molasses can be used as the carbon source for in situ remediation of chlorinated hydrocarbons.
- Molasses is blended with magnesium chloride and used for de-icing.
- In Australia, molasses is fermented to produce ethanol for use as an alternative fuel in motor vehicles.
Industrial
- Molasses can be used as a chelating agent to remove rust where a rusted part stays a few weeks in a mixture of 1 part molasses and 10 parts water.[7]
- Molasses can be used as a minor component of mortar for brickwork.[8]
- Ink rollers on printing presses were originally cast using a mixture of molasses and glue
Horticultural
Soil Molasses can be added to the soil of almost any plant to promote microbial activity
Hydroponic Molasses contains the disaccharide sucrose. This sugar does not substitute as a flowering enhancer in hydroponic gardening. Other substitute "sugar boosters" for hydroponics contain deoxyribose, lyxose, ribose, xylulose, and xylose. These simple and complex carbohydrates are the main components of cellular reproduction, and deliver an immediately usable form of energy to the plant, which would normally rely on a soil-type organic medium for beneficial microbial activity
