Pure Molasses (Sugarcane Molasses) at a Good Price

Molasses is one of the most important raw materials used in microbial production, EM activation, animal feed manufacturing, and aquaculture. Thanks to its high natural sugar content and rich mineral profile, molasses enhances fermentation efficiency while helping to optimize production costs. Let’s explore this indispensable ingredient with VNT.

1. What is Molasses?

Molasses, also known as sugarcane molasses, is a thick, viscous liquid obtained after the crystallization and concentration process in sugar production. It is a valuable by-product of the sugarcane industry with wide applications in agriculture and industry.

Molasses has a dark brown color, a characteristic sweet aroma, a uniform liquid consistency, and dissolves easily in water. Pure molasses contains a high concentration of fermentable sugars and minerals, making it an ideal carbon source for microbial growth.

What is Molasses?

2. Main Components of Molasses

The composition of molasses varies depending on sugarcane variety, harvest time, soil conditions, climate, and the processing technology used by each sugar factory. Therefore, nutritional value, color, viscosity, and aroma may differ between batches.

In general, molasses consists of three main components: sugars, non-sugar organic compounds, and minerals.

Sugars

Sugars are the primary component of molasses, including soluble carbohydrates such as monosaccharides and disaccharides, with sucrose being the dominant form. Sugarcane molasses typically contains a high total sugar content, making it highly suitable for fermentation processes.

Non-sugar Organic Compounds

These compounds strongly influence the physical properties of molasses, particularly viscosity. They include starch residues, organic acids, and nitrogen-containing compounds.

Minerals

Molasses is rich in essential minerals such as sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), and sulfur (S), along with trace elements like iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn), all of which support microbial activity.

3. Applications of Molasses

3.1. In Microbial Production

Serves as a primary nutrient source for beneficial microorganisms

Promotes rapid microbial biomass growth

Helps stabilize microbial populations during fermentation

Common applications include:

Soil treatment microorganisms

Environmental treatment microorganisms

Odor and waste treatment microorganisms

3.2. In EM (Effective Microorganisms) Production

Molasses is a mandatory ingredient for activating EM stock solutions.

It helps EM:

Achieve strong and stable fermentation

Suppress harmful microorganisms

Enhance effectiveness when applied to soil, crops, and livestock

👉 The quality of molasses directly determines the stability and performance of activated EM solutions.

3.3. In Animal Feed Production

Provides a quick energy source

Improves palatability of feed

Reduces dust and improves feed binding

Enhances immunity and digestion

Reduces stress in livestock

Used in silage and green feed fermentation

Applicable for:

Livestock: pigs, cattle, goats

Poultry: chickens, ducks

Certain aquatic species

3.4. In Aquaculture and Mariculture

Molasses supplies an essential carbon source for beneficial microorganisms in pond systems, helping to:

Reduce toxic gases such as NH₃, NO₂, and H₂S

Lower turbidity and increase dissolved oxygen

Stabilize water quality, balance pH, and limit harmful bacteria

Improve immunity in shrimp and fish, reducing intestinal diseases

➡ Widely used in Biofloc systems, biological farming, and sustainable aquaculture models.

3.5. In the Food Industry

Molasses is used as an intermediate raw material in various food production processes:

Production of monosodium glutamate (MSG), alcohol, and food-grade yeast due to its excellent fermentability

Natural coloring and mild preservative for confectionery and baked goods

Flavor enhancement and moisture retention in bread, biscuits, beverages, and beer

3.6. In Organic Agriculture

Used in composting and microbial organic fertilizer production to accelerate organic matter decomposition

Improves soil fertility, moisture retention, and nutrient availability

Supports the cultivation of beneficial microorganisms such as Trichoderma and Bacillus

Reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers and promotes sustainable farming

3.7. In Industry and Other Fields

Cost-effective carbon source for biological wastewater treatment

Used as a binder and coloring agent in brick, paper, paint, and printing industries

4. Guidelines for Using Molasses

For optimal results, farmers and producers are encouraged to contact VNT’s fanpage or hotline for tailored technical consultation. Below are general reference guidelines:

Microbial / EM Production:

Molasses: 1–3 liters

Microbial starter / EM stock: as recommended

Clean water: 18–20 liters
➡ Ferment in a sealed container for 5–7 days in a cool, shaded area

Animal Feed Production:

Mix 1–3% based on total feed weight

Can be diluted and sprayed evenly during mixing

Silage preparation: 1–2 liters of molasses per 100 kg of grass or straw

Aquaculture Use:

Dosage: 1–2 liters per 1,000 m³ of water

Apply periodically every 5–7 days

5. Precautions

Do not use moldy or contaminated molasses

Avoid mixing with strong disinfectants or bactericides

Do not overdose to prevent anaerobic conditions

Always dilute before use

6. Storage

Seal tightly after use

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place

Avoid direct sunlight

Shelf life: 12–24 months

Molasses plays a foundational role in microbial production, EM activation, and modern animal farming. Proper use helps reduce costs, increase efficiency, and support sustainable agricultural development.
