Molasses
Molasses, commonly known as syrup, is a by-product of sugar making. The waste that cannot be condensed into crystals during the sugar making process is the molasses. It is generally a brown-black viscous liquid and contains a large amount of fermentable sugar. Therefore, it is a good raw material for fermentation,and can be used as substrate or base of yeast, monosodium glutamate, organic acid and other fermented products, as well as raw materials for certain foods and animal feeds.
