Molasses high-test

High test molasses is not a residual material, but cane juice, sometimes partly clarified, concentrated by evaporation, with at least half its sucrose hydrolyzed to invert (glucose and fmctose) by heating at the low juice pH (5.5). 

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. 

Enzymes. Invertase (P-fmctofuranosidase) is commercially produced from S. cerevisiae or S. uvarum. The enzyme, a glycoproteia, is not excreted but transported to the cell wall. It is, therefore, isolated by subjecting the cells to autolysis followed by filtration and precipitation with either ethanol or isopropanol. The commercial product is available dry or ia the form of a solutioa containing 50% glycerol as a stabilizer. The maia uses are ia sucrose hydrolysis ia high-test molasses and ia the productioa of cream-ceatered candies.

Ethanol fermentation can be conducted on any carbohydrate-rich substrate. Molasses, which is the waste mother liquor that remains after the crystallization of sucrose in sugar mill operations, is widely used. Blackstrap molasses contains 35-40 percent sucrose and 15-20 percent invert sugars (glucose and fructose). High-test molasses contains 22-27 percent sucrose and 50-55 percent invert sugars. Most of the blackstrap molasses do not...

Glycerin can be produced from sucrose by fermentation (2) or by hydrogenation. The latter reaction, considered here, yields four molecules of glycerin for each molecule of sucrose from high test molasses, that is, concentrated cane juice. A plant using this technology of 15 million lb per year capacity was operated at New Castle, Delaware, until 1969 by Atlas Powder Company (now ICI-United States, Inc.). 

A cast iron tank 90 ft. in diameter and 50 ft. high was ahegedly built and tested to inferior specifications. It raptrrred on January 15, 1919. The rapmre created a fast moving wave of two and a half milhon gallorrs of molasses. The flowing molasses...
