Blackstrap Molasses

Blackstrap molasses is the dark, viscous byproduct obtained from the third extraction of sugar from sugarcane during refining, retaining high levels of minerals and residual sugars. It falls under HTS 1703.90.5000 as 'other' molasses resulting from sugar extraction or refining, distinct from cane or beet molasses specified elsewhere. Primarily used in animal feed, baking, and health supplements.

Refinery Blackstrap Molasses

Refinery blackstrap molasses is produced during the final crystallization stages of sugarcane refining, with low sugar content and high viscosity. Classified in HTS 1703.90.5000 as other molasses from sugar refining processes. Commonly exported in bulk for industrial uses like fermentation and feed.

Cane Refinery Molasses Grade B

Grade B cane refinery molasses results from sugarcane sugar extraction with moderate sugar recovery, featuring unsulphured composition and molasses residues. It is categorized under HTS 1703.90.5000 for other non-solidified molasses from refining. Used in baking, rum production, and livestock supplements.

Edible Refinery Molasses

Edible refinery molasses is a partially refined sugarcane byproduct suitable for human consumption in foods like gingerbread and marinades. HTS 1703.90.5000 covers it as other molasses from sugar refining, excluding retail-packaged goods. Its dark color and robust flavor come from repeated sugar extractions.

Industrial Cane Molasses

Industrial cane molasses is a thick syrup from sugarcane refining used in ethanol production, yeast manufacturing, and adhesives. Classified under HTS 1703.90.5000 as other refinery molasses, not for direct consumption. High ash and mineral content from extraction residues.

Unsulphured Cane Molasses

Unsulphured cane molasses from sugar extraction avoids chemical sulphitation, preserving natural flavor for baking and feed. HTS 1703.90.5000 includes it as other molasses from refining operations. Lower impurities make it premium for organic uses.
