Short communication: Characterization of molasses chemical composition.

摘要: Beet and cane molasses are produced worldwide as a by-product of sugar extraction widely used in animal nutrition. Due to their composition, they fed ruminants an energy source. However, has not been properly characterized the literature; its description limited type (sugarcane or beet) amount dry matter (DM), total water-soluble sugars, crude protein, ash. Our objective was better characterize composition beet molasses, examine possible differences, obtain proper definition such feeds. For this purpose, 16 samples were sourced analyzed for chemical composition. The analysis trial 97.4 98.3% compounds DM respectively. Cane contained less compared with (76.8 ± 1.02 vs. 78.3 1.61%) well protein content (6.7 1.8 13.5 1.4% DM), minimum value 2.2% maximum 15.6% molasses. sucrose differed between (60.9 4.4 48.8 6.4% but variability high even within (39.2-67.3% DM) Glucose fructose detected (5.3 2.7 8.1 2.8% DM, respectively), showing variability. Organic acid well. Lactic more concentrated than (6.1 2.8 4.5 1.8% varying from 1.6 12.8% Dietary cation-anion difference showed numerical differences among (7 53 66 45 mEq/100 g on average). It varied -76 +155 group +0 +162 group. Data obtained study detailed sources suggested that complete characterization could improve use ration formulation.
