Beet sugar molasses studied in this investigation were kindly provided by Delta Sugar Factory, Kafr El-sheikh governorate, Egypt. During the 2011 working season, the samples of molasses were analyzed for the following: Brix, sugar, purity, non-sugar, ash, organic non-sugar, as well as relations between analytical values characterizing beet molasses. The obtained results illustrated the following conclusions: 1-Refractive index was greater accuracy in measuring the soluble solids content in molasses. 2-Approximate analysis of beet molasses were: Brix 80.20-81.61, sucrose 48.36-49.56, ash 12.11-12.35 and organic non-sugar 18.48-20.89 %. 3-Betaine was the most abundant nitrogenous compound found in molasses (3-4 %). 4-The non-sucrose carbohydrate of molasses consist of invert sugar, usually less than 1% in molasses. 5-Other nitrogen free organic impurities in beet molasses were the acidslactic, citric, malic, and acetic and others.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
