Sugar cane molasses

Table 9 Specifications for some brown sugars produced by British Sugar these products are made by adding cane sugar molasses to white sugar produced from sugar beet brown sugars can be made by partially refining cane sugar but not by partially refining beet sugar...

Molasses are the product left when no more sugar can be extracted. Beet sugar molasses are unpleasant in taste and are not normally used for human food. Cane sugar molasses do have some food use, normally in the form of treacle, which is clarified molasses. The ratio of sugar to invert sugar in treacle can be altered to some extent to assist product formulation. In practice different sugar syrups are blended with the molasses to give the desired product. Treacle is normally stored at 50°C to maintain liquidity. 

Efficient lactic acid production from cane sugar molasses is achieved by Lactobacillus delbrueckii in batch fermentation. Fermentative production of lactic acid is very effective in producing optically pure l- or D-lactic and also DL-lactic acid, depending on the strain (Dumbrepatil et al., 2008). Lactobacillus plantarum cells are homofermentative, often used for production of lactic acid from glucose fermentation (Krishnan et al., 2001). 

Cane sugar molasses as used in this country arc simply dissolved in water to make a wort of specific gravity about 1030 to 1040 in the tropics juice expressed from the sugar cane and containing 14 per cent, of sugar is fermented directly, A wild yeast is fotmd on the surface of the cane, and this sets up an active spontaneous feimeutation when the juice is kept at a temperature of 30° to 35°. 

A laser turbidimeter has been developed for the on-line measurement of cell concentration, which is correlated to the turbidity of the cultured broth. However, the application of this turbidimeter to the continuous monitoring of cell growth might be limited to the lower range of cell concentration even in the highly transparent broths compared to the production media containing solid materials such as cane sugar molasses and com steep liquor. 

Isol. from Asarum europaeum, from cane-sugar molasses and other plant sources. Used to prod, unsatd. polyesters. Reagent used for fluorimetric anal, of tertiary amines. Leaflets (H2O). Sol. H2O, EtOH. Mp 194-195° dec. 2.8 pK. 2 A46 (25°). Decarboxylates at Mp to Itaconic acid. Mp variable with rate of htg. (X-Mono-Me ester [65146-88-5]. 

Other Products. Other products from sugarcane, in addition to cane sugar, are cane fiber (known as bagasse) and molasses, the final thick symp from which no more sugar may be economically removed by crystallization. In some cane-growing countries, cane tops and leaves, separated during harvest, are used for catde feed. 

High test molasses (invert molasses) is produced from cane sugar when sucrose manufacture is restricted because of overproduction. The cane sugar at ca 55 wt % solids is en2ymatically converted to invert symp to prevent crystallisation and evaporated to a symp. The product is used in the same applications as blackstrap molasses. 

Rum. Rum is a distikate from the fermented juice of sugar cane, sugar cane symp, molasses, sugar beets, or other by-products distiked at less than 190° proof in such a manner that it possesses the taste, aroma, and characteristics generaky attributed to mm. It is bottled at not less than 80° proof. 

Molasses (Treacle). There are several types of molasses, differing as to method of prepn and source whether from beet root or cane sugar. 

Pure honeys are comparatively costly. Some beekeepers may imlawfully use sweeteners to feed bees to increase honey sweetness. Another unlawful act is to directly add sugars into honey products. Some sweeteners that have been used include acid / inverted sugar syrups, com syrups, maple syrup, cane sugar, beet sugar, and molasses. 

Cane sugar is processed using one of two methods of extraction. One method uses diffusion and the other uses roller press extraction. Both methods may be used to make sugar and molasses fractions from sugarcane. However, roller press extraction is used by a greater percentage of the industry and, therefore, is the better method for a small-scale study.
