Extract

Sugarcane and sugar beet molasses are dark brown juices which are remained after crystallization or concentration of sugar syrup. Problematic nature of molasses prompted sugar producers to solve difficulty of preservations, transportation, mixing and the problem of sticky concentrate mixtures or its hard handling in cold weather. Thus, in recent years, Iran sugar industry made a shift to develop dehydration technology of molasses, but it was not clear weather the applied technology could be efficient employed and if such a product could replaced by sugar beet pulp which is in rare in cold seasons. This trial performed to study if Dry Sugar beet Molasses (DSBM) could be efficiently replaced with sugar beet pulp with no side effects.
