Description

Molasses CAS NO 68476-78-8 is a viscous by-product of sugar refining, primarily from sugarcane or sugar beets, consisting of sugars, minerals, and other organic compounds. It serves as a versatile, cost-effective, and sustainable raw material across numerous industrial sectors due to its rich carbohydrate content and natural properties. This product is essential for manufacturers in the fermentation, animal feed, food processing, and chemical synthesis industries seeking a reliable and consistent biological feedstock.

Application

• Fermentation Feedstock: A primary carbon source for the industrial production of ethanol, citric acid, yeast, amino acids, and various enzymes.
• Animal Nutrition: Used as a palatability enhancer and energy supplement in feed for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture.
• Food Industry: Employed as a natural sweetener, flavoring agent, and colorant in baked goods, condiments, and confectionery.
• Chemical Production: Acts as a raw material for producing lactic acid, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and other bio-based chemicals.
• Soil Amendment & Fertilizer: Used in agriculture to improve soil microbial activity and as a component in organic fertilizers.
• De-icing Agent: Applied to roads as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chloride-based de-icers.
• Concrete Additive: Serves as a water-reducing and setting-time retarding admixture in concrete formulations.
• Distillery Operations: A key ingredient in the production of rum and other spirits.

Quality Control

Our molasses is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. While specifications vary by grade (e.g., Feed, Food, Industrial), quality is assured through rigorous testing for parameters including Brix, sucrose content, and microbial load. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific grade specifications are available upon request to meet your procurement and compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at ambient temperatures (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or microbial growth. Keep away from incompatible materials.
