Molasses is a by-product of the sugar industry, defined as the
end product of sugar manufacture or refining from which no more
sugar may be economically crystallized by conventional means.
About 80% of the world’s molasses comes from sugar cane with the
remaining 20% coming mainly from sugar beets. Sugar cane is grown
in tropical climates (Asia, Africa and South America), whereas
the sugar beet has its origin in the temperate climates (Europe
and North America). The most important component of molasses is
sugar, predominantly sucrose with some glucose and fructose. See
technical specifications for more
details.
SvG supplies molasses mainly to the animal feed,
fermentation and
food industry.
