Beet Molasses – Premium Quality Supplied Worldwide by Abdul Sattar Sons
Starting into Beet Molasses
Beet molasses is a viscous, dark syrup and it's one of the most concentrated byproducts produced from sugar beets in its processing to get white extracted sugar. These are rich in mix of sugars, minerals and other nutrients which we can use for various industrial applications. Beet molasses is a staple ingredient that Abdul Sattar Sons deals in and acts as an export, trade & brokerage house bringing beet molasses from different source of origins to provide maximum meet for their international clients.
Extraction from Beet
The new method of beet molasses extraction is a detailed technology:
1.Harvesting: Sugar beets are harvested from fields, typically in autumn when their sugar content reaches the highest levels.
2. Washing & Chopping: Beets are washed before being sliced into thin strips to aid in sugar extraction.
3. Extraction - it involves a diffusion type process with hot water to extract sugar from beet slice.
4. Juice Clarification: The juice is made to go through a purification process with the use of lime and carbon dioxide that helps free removals from unwanted tannins.
5. Evaporation: Removing water form purified juice by concentrating it.
6. Crystallization: Sugar crystals are separated through crystallisation in concentrated juice.
7. Molasses: Beet molasses is the syrup that remains after sugar extraction. This process can be repeated many times with each step yielding a different grade of molasses, varying in sugar content and viscosity.
History
The oldest heritage tied to the sugar beet industry is that of beet molasses. Sugar production was started from cultivation of sugar beets in 18th century in Europe. Blockades during the Napoleonic Wars cut off sugar cane supplies from the Caribbean, making encourage more reliance on sugar beets. It was around this time that new developments in the extraction and processing of sugar beets began to establish what would become the basis for modern production of sugar and molasses.
Physical Properties
Physical properties of beet molasses
Color: dark brown to black indicates sugar and mineral concentration
Viscosity: Beet molasses is a thick, syropy consistency that makes it ideal for use as a binding agent in animal feed and other applications.
Flavor: Very strong and slightly bitter, with a lot of minerals for taste
Sugar Content: Beet molasses are mostly sucrose, glucose, and fructose all of which contribute to the energy content
Mineral content - It contains essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium which are very useful for many industrial applications and even in agriculture etc.
Countries of Origin
Here are the main regions where Abdul Sattar Sons sources beet molasses from high-quality sugar beets.
Germany: A major beet sugar producer with precision farming techniques to ensure high quality production.
France: Another Major Maker at Europe and is also a well known area of the beet molasses market worldwide.
Russia: Sugar beet One of the largest producers in the world.
United States: Especially in states like Minnesota and North Dakota where beet farming is a significant agricultural activity.
Pakistan and Egypt: these are likely to develop as major producers in the Middle East/South Asia zone, where sugar industries continue becoming larger.
Packing of Varies Kinds.
Beet molasses is put into packs of different types to be consumed by various industries:
IBC Containers (Intermediate Bulk Containers): Perfect for commercial use, and makes storage of molasses in bulk easy.
Containers: Mostly in 55-gallon drums, use when needed for smaller sizes and also suitable for medium scale production operations.
PAILS & BUCKETS: Smaller containers for ease of handling and use in smaller applications or test batches.
Tanker Trucks and ISO Tanks: For complex, bulk transportation of liquids to be able move molasses through long distances in a seamless manner.
Specifications
Beet molasses quality and specifications (applications)
Brix: A way to tell how sweet the molasses is. Most commercial molasses has a Brix of 75-80%.
Moisture Content: Beet molasses has a moisture content that falls in the range of 20-25%.
pH Level: A pH level, usually between 4.5 and 5.5 which is kind of an acid environment that halts the molasses from spoiling with time as it does to other natural liquid sweeteners like honey
3 LOM : Ethanol and bacterial fermentation- Although GLOM is a waste due to its low ethanol concentration, it also produces only little ash residue (5-7%;), as compared with Maom which has an average ash content of 8%; the latter could be used for certain industrial purposes including manufacture offiber glass.
Nitrogen Content: This is a very important animal feed applications property which show the percentage of protein in molasses.
Viscosity: High viscosity is the property of tamarind that provides stiffness and cohesiveness in both feed processing as well as other industrial uses, hence it becomes a matter of preference based on where you would like to apply your product.
Usage
The fact is that there are many uses for beet molasses.
1. Animal Feed: Beet molasses is a high energy, palatable ingredient in animal feeds. It is also commonly utilized as a binding agent and palatability enhancer, guaranteeing livestock to get what they need in both nutrition and appetite. The minerals available in molasses are important for the good health and growth performance of animals.
2. Fermentation: Beets molasses in the fermentation industry because of its high sugar content to produce bioethanol and other alcoholic beverages. The sugars in molasses make it an excellent microbial fermentation source, allowing for cost-effective production processes.
3. Food Industry: Beet molasses is very important in the context of food, key role as sweeteners and flavor enhancer for a large number baked product like sauces or confectionary products. It brings out the depth and richness of otherwise bland dishes.
4. Industrial Use: it also serves for manufacturing yeast, citric acid and some species of vinegar. It is also used as a humectant and an industrial preservative for various products.
5. Agriculture: In agriculture, beet molasses is used as a soil conditioner and fertilizer additive. Molasses also acts a soil enricher by contributing mineral richness to the soil that promotes plant growth.
6. Biofuels: Beet molasses is used for biofuel production, ultimately providing a more environmentally friendly energy alternative in order to be renewable and sustainable. This high carbohydrate content also makes it an exceptional feedstock for bioethanol production and potentially helpful in decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
