Molasses is a thick, dark-colored syrup that is a byproduct of the sugar industry, obtained from the mother liquor remaining after the crystallization and removal of sucrose from the juices of sugar cane or sugar beet. It contains 70-80% solids, with 50-75% being sucrose and invert sugar, and is known for its strong flavor.

68476-78-8 Usage
Uses
Used in Food Industry:Molasses is used as a sweetener and flavoring agent in various food products, such as baked goods, confections, and beverages. Its strong flavor and dark color make it a popular choice for adding richness and depth to recipes.
Used in Nonfood Applications:
Molasses is also used in nonfood applications, such as the production of caramel, as well as in the manufacturing of industrial chemicals, animal feed, and fertilizers. Its high sugar content and unique properties make it a versatile ingredient in a wide range of industries.
Production Methods
Molasses, first produced from sugarcane in China and India centuries ago and later in Europe and Africa, was introduced as the by-product of cane-sugar production into Santo Domingo by Columbus in 1493.Composition
Total solids in molasses as determined by drying methods may vary from 75 to 85%, and the sucrose content may be from 25 to 40%. Reducing sugars as determined by copper reduction methods may be from 12 to 35%. The total sugar content, both sucrose and reducing sugars, is usually about 50%, but can be in considerable excess of this figure. Other important constituents: Klasonlignin (16.4% of which 16.3% total aldehyde, 5.3% vanillin, 9.0% syringa aldehyde); about 12 to 20% saccharose (located in the juice of the stem); about 0.1 to 0.25% wax.Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 68476-78-8 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 6,8,4,7 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 8 respectively.Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 68476-78:
(7*6)+(6*8)+(5*4)+(4*7)+(3*6)+(2*7)+(1*8)=178
178 % 10 = 8
So 68476-78-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
